Nashville Nights & Stunning Sights
Oct. 21, 2015—Hey everyone! As some of my fellow bloggers have already mentioned, last week was Fall Break (which was definitely much needed–and appreciated–after a hectic few weeks of midterms and papers). Seeing as going home to England was just a little bit too far away for a four-day break, I decided to spend Fall Break having a...
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. Between the empty hallways and the lack of a functioning meal plan, being on campus early can be a bit eerie, but it’s incredibly helpful to have some time to settle in...
A Malaysian Sensation
Sep. 6, 2013—After giddily accepting the invite to Malaysian Night on Facebook the day before, I was so excited when my friends and I actually stepped into the SLC on Saturday night! The Malaysian Student Association at Vanderbilt (MSAV) put on a night of festivities, food, and fun in celebration of Eid, a religious holiday for Muslims, and Merdeka, the Malaysian Independence Day!

Mar. 15, 2013—Most people leave campus for spring break and as such have epic tales of lands far away to blog about. I am here, though, to tell you all that spring break in Nashville can be fun! If you're an international student or don't have the money to travel, there's plenty to do...
Burns Night, Fiestas, Pedi Cabs, and more
Jan. 27, 2013—Hello again! This past week was filled with a myriad of activities! Wednesday: The food in Edinburgh is actually amazing (specifically indian, chinese, and italian) but the Mexican food is horrible (so they say). I was craving me some tacos and nachos, but did not want to make a taco platter for myself. So I...
Pre-Fall Break Ponders: Fantasy Football…What?
Sep. 30, 2012—The first, probably overly-analytical, monologue about strange American revelations to an international student.
Hello, blogging world.
Sep. 3, 2012—This isn't my first time writing a blog post, and yet I'm still pretty nervous about it. Maybe it's because I know that there will definitely be at least SOMEONE reading this very post (fellow Inside 'Dores writers?)... And since I'll be blogging for the Insides 'Dores for a while, I thought it would be nice to at least introduce myself a bit and let you know what kind of person this new blogger is.
