‘Freshman Life’
Why Vanderbilt?
Nov. 29, 2013—I perfectly remember this time of year last year. It was November and I was almost ready to submit my college applications, but was I really? In fact, I didn’t submit Anything until 3 hours before the deadline, which was stupid, I know, but I needed all the time I could have to revise and...
Sips N Strokes
Nov. 14, 2013—Last night, my freshman hall reunited at Sips N Strokes to paint the Nashville skyline.
I Relayed for life
Nov. 13, 2013—After months of hard work raising money for Vanderbilt Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society, our big Relay even finally took place on the outdoor track at the Recreation Center. After months of anticipation, Relay for Life was everything I had expected and more. Vanderbilt Relay For Life is a student-run organization on...
Memorial 4. We rock!
Nov. 5, 2013—The concept of living and learning on Commons as first year students is real. Yes it works. Throw a bunch of ambitious men and women in a house together and watch how they grow, learn and have fun. Living on Memorial 4, I’ve been a part of so many things that I thought were bigger...

First Year writing Seminar Vs. Fall Break
Oct. 12, 2013—As an international student, I know that my chances of going back home are restricted to Summer break and maybe Winter break. Which is kind of sad, but still fine. There are so many things you can do during breaks if you’re an international student and it is a great way to explore the US....
The BLounge
Oct. 4, 2013—I love homecoming week. All campus is alive with music, people and cheerful presence of Vanderbilt alumni. But after a long day of classes I thought I needed some time to relax, listen to some music and have a quick light lunch before hitting Branscomb for food trucks and block party after that. Yes I...
Visions of Sushi!
Sep. 30, 2013—Last week, I spent an amazing hour with my Visions group making sushi, sharing the highs and lows of our week and simply having a good time!
Free Flu Shots!
Sep. 25, 2013—Today was Vanderbilt's annual Flulapalooza, a huge campaign through which all Vanderbilt students, faculty and staff are invited (encouraged, actually) to get a free flu shot. The campaign started three years ago, and last year we broke the world record for most flu shots given in a single-day campaign.
I OVERSLEPT!
Sep. 23, 2013—I guess the title says it all, I OVERSLEPT! I woke up today around noon , which meant missing three lectures. Yes, it felt very bad. I had to put my clothes on in three minutes and run to Buttrick Hall to catch my 12 o’clock class. This is not something I am particularly proud...
