Vandy Dorm Life
Dec. 17, 2019—I promised I would do a post on my suite in my previous post, so here it is!

All freshmen are randomly placed in one of the ten...
Vanderbilt Dorms and Housing Options
Nov. 7, 2019—Coming to college, I was concerned about the transition of moving into a dorm room. Was I going to have enough room? What if my roommate snored? What if my bed was uncomfortable? If you have similar concerns, this post is for you! Living on-campus at Vanderbilt for the past three years has been a...
My Sophomore Housing Experience
Dec. 23, 2017—Transitioning from first-year housing at the Commons to upperclassman housing was a pretty big change. The Commons was great and all, but Highland Quad, where I live this year, has its perks too. Highland Quad consists of the twin eleven-story buildings Morgan and Lewis, Chaffin apartments, and Mayfield houses. Morgan and Lewis contain two-person and...
And We’re Back!
Aug. 23, 2015—Classes don’t start for another two days, but I’ve been back at the Happiest Place on Earth (sorry, Disneyland) for a week. Typical.

Meet My New WAMily
Dec. 12, 2014—I’m a proud resident of Rice hall in Moore College, and our Area Coordinator always starts his emails with “Hey WAMily!” It’s evokes a cutesy ‘ohana-means-family vibe, but I’ve started reading it as WAM, ily. I’m giving myself permission to be cheesy because it’s winter break, a time of sappy family scenes and affection. So...
I Missed Being a Stereotypical College Student
Nov. 30, 2014—So I just returned from my first time away from Vanderbilt in THREE MONTHS, and let me tell you, it is good to be back. Don’t get me wrong, it was great seeing my friends and family back at home, and even better getting a break from class and tests and essays and homework and...
A Year of Many Firsts
Sep. 20, 2014—Here are some of my favorite 'first' experiences at Vanderbilt.
Warren and Moore, Here I Come!
Feb. 11, 2014—Room selection for Moor College Hall at Kissam. As a result of a random lottery, I am the proud resident-to-be of a single in the currently under-construction residence hall at Vanderbilt University. And the best part is that I will still have the option to live at Kissam as a junior and senior.
