It’s Always Been About the People: Thoughts on the Halfway Mark
May. 31, 2021—It’s been about three weeks since I’ve wrapped up my sophomore year, which means that I’m now halfway through my time at Vanderbilt. But, and as is a common sentiment among most anyone who’s lived through the past year and a half, part of me still feels frozen in March 2020, in the remaining months...
It’s a New Year: resolutions, reflections & appreciation
Jan. 30, 2021—I used to never make New Year’s Resolutions because the idea always seemed a little silly to me. Instead, I have always concluded a year by pulling up the letter I wrote to myself the year prior, reading it, reflecting over the words and pictures I have collected from the past year, then typing a...

How To Reflect On Our Time at Vanderbilt Over Break
Dec. 19, 2018—Winter break in college is one of the best things. Ever.

What It Means to Anchor Down
Nov. 19, 2018—College, much like life, is overwhelming. So much gets thrown at you in the first few months! You have to drag yourself to meals, meet and live with hundreds of new strangers, and figure out how to pass Gen Chem – all without your parents. It’s so easy to get thrown off balance and feel...
What’s it like to be pre-med at Vandy?
Mar. 2, 2017—Most incoming students are premed, but a lot of them don't really know what they're getting into, what it's really like, or if it's even worth it? I would have really appreciated talking to someone currently going through it back when I was deciding what I wanted to do with my life, so I sent around a questionnaire to a few of my friends and this is what they had to say.

From a Window
May. 3, 2016—What, there isn't any material about end-of-the-year introspection? I can fix that!
Three months at Vandy: a reflection
Nov. 22, 2015—It’s November 22nd. Exactly 3 months ago today, I moved in to my dorm 7 hours away from home. Ironically, I’m not actually at Vandy right now. I’m sitting in my room at home in Gurnee, Illinois, but it still has been 3 months, and it is Thanksgiving Break, so this is the perfect time...
Reflecting Back on ASB
May. 7, 2015—Less than a week ago, the New York Times published an article about the Pine Ridge Native American Reservation in Kyle, South Dakota. The same reservation where I, coincidentally, spent my spring break on ASB two months ago.
