A Transfer’s Fears: the End
May. 11, 2015—I’ve met friends who made me laugh and cry, who made me pour out my heart and soul and deepest, darkest secrets. I’ve met friends who saw me in my most vulnerable, my most pathetic, yet still embraced me. I remember looking them in the eye as tears fell down my face, talking about how...
An Ode To The Class of 2015
May. 10, 2015—I miss the Class of 2015 already, but great things are to come!
It is Finished
Apr. 30, 2015—I’m done. With my last final, I have finished my academic career at Vanderbilt. It’s been a long and exciting journey over these past four years and I have grown immensely from everything that I have experienced. My Vanderbilt experience will be something that I will never forget. At Vandy, I have been able to...
The End is Coming
Feb. 27, 2015—I’m half way done. I only have one half left of my last semester at Vanderbilt. It only really hit me this afternoon as I walked out of my last midterm for the week. But wait, not just the last midterm of the week, the last midterm of my college career. It’s bitter sweet, I...
7 Questions to Stop Asking Your College Student
Nov. 27, 2014—Upon being home for several days, it has dawned on me that not every conversation back home is created equal. The reality of being home for college students is that there are many acquaintances and high school friends' moms' cousins' aunts to answer to when the barrage of career and education-related questions are inevitably hurled our way. It's good to ask university-folk about what they've been up to, but here are a few things to consider not asking around the dinner table this holiday. Your sleep-deprived college student will thank you.
The Final Post
May. 12, 2014—Dear readers, it's been a few very splendid years of writing for you--I hope you've enjoyed reading as much as I've enjoyed writing. This is very possibly my last ever post for Inside 'Dores.
Roaming the World
May. 11, 2014—We hereby graduated all the seniors on Friday and sent them off to change the world and make Vanderbilt proud. We might have shed a year or two seeing them all grown up. I am certainly not ready for those farewells yet, but I too am going off into the world! This suitcase-living summer is going to be packed with travels to Switzerland, Texas, Ohio, and Maryland, and then back to school we go!
The Final 100 Days
Jan. 31, 2014—Well, just like that, January is just about over, and, today marks only 100 days left until graduation. I am in denial, and I would say that most of my friends are right there with me. In honor (mourning) of this special day, the Senior Class Fund, held an entire week of festivities, culminating in...
The Last One Begins…
Jan. 15, 2014—I am now more than a full week into my last semester at Vanderbilt. That sentence is much easier to write than to really accept. So much still to do, so little time!
Back at Vandy for the Summer
Jun. 4, 2013—Whew. After less than a month, I am back at my lovely home-away-from-home, beautiful and wonderful Nashville.
