How to tell when Commencement is just around the corner
May. 17, 2012—I've stayed on campus after it empties out before, but this year is my first time staying for Commencement here at Vanderbilt, and there are a few ways in which the campus starts to shift in preparation for this big event. Thus, I present to you yet another list post, entitled "5 Ways to Tell Commencement is Just Around the Corner":
Preparing for the MCAT
May. 16, 2012—I am currently just over one week into my MCAT preparations. As promised, below is a more detailed explanation of my study plan.
The Easiest Enrollment Process Ever!
Apr. 27, 2012—Enrollment can be frustrating. However, this semester it was quite pleasant!
The Final Countdown
Apr. 15, 2012—It's that time of year, blog-readers. Everything is spiraling into a just-barely-manageable madness. Every club I'm part of leadership for has events to help coordinate, final speeches and essays are due, and actual finals are just around the corner. Meanwhile, I'm trying to enjoy the time I have left with friends here in Nashville (particularly the soon-to-graduate seniors) and enjoy my final weeks here before I return home for the summer.
Why Vanderbilt?
Mar. 27, 2012—Every once in a while I reminisce back to those wonderful (ha!) months of high school during which I googled different universities every day, wrote personal statements, and stressed about SAT scores…maybe more so now because soon I will have to do the same thing to apply to graduate school…and I remember discussions I had...
Why Vanderbilt?
Mar. 11, 2012—With Spring Break last week, I got to go home and catch up with a bunch of my friends still in high school. Since most of them are second-semester seniors, I grilled them all about college. Hearing this whole process again reminded me why I chose to come to Vanderbilt in the first place,
Published? As an Undergraduate?
Feb. 6, 2012—There are many opportunities for Vanderbilt undergraduates in terms of being ‘published.’ Authoring or co-authoring an academic work can help enhance a graduate school or job application or even just be a cool random fact. At Vanderbilt, we have the opportunity to be published by simply completing the mandatory course work.
New Semester Resolutions
Feb. 6, 2012—Each new semester in college is like a new year…sure you might be taking the second semester of a course (i.e. General Chemistry A vs. General Chemistry B), but it’s still a new class with a new teacher and a lot of new faces, give or take some familiar ones. It’s important to treat each...
Practice MCAT
Feb. 5, 2012—Yesterday morning, instead of finally catching up on my sleep, I woke up at 8 am to take the MCAT. Not the real thing, thank god, but a practice test administered by Kaplan.
Brown Bag Lecture Series
Feb. 1, 2012—The Women’s and Gender Studies Department hosts a lecture series called the Brown Bag Lecture Series that features talks from representatives of multiple organizations around campus. The one that I attended featured T.J. Jourian, the Program Coordinator of the Office of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Intersex Life at Vanderbilt University. I always enjoy these...
