‘Student Life’
Sophomore Spring in Review
May. 8, 2012—I have been home for just about four days. It has taken me this long to unpack and decompress from a whirlwind semester. Here is a recap of my Sophomore Spring:
Year One Reflections
May. 3, 2012—The rooms are empty. The car is packed. The 2011-2012 school year officially ends today. It’s a bittersweet feeling. Though finals are always a hectic end to each semester, I can’t help but feel I am leaving part of my family behind as I venture to my actual home in Georgia. The quiet five hour...
Is This Freedom? Idle Times in Nashville
May. 3, 2012—Finals Week 2012 has been both a blessing and a curse. I lucked out only having two finals this time around, but I had six days of nothing (I mean, six days to study) between my exams! Before hitting the books once again, I took some time to enjoy a few days with my fellow Commodores...
Awesome Adventures
May. 2, 2012—As the semester comes to a close (I’ve finished my last final! I’m halfway through college!) I’ve been reflecting back on sophomore year as a whole. This year was incredibly fun and I’d figure I’d sum that up by making a list of “9 Things I Never Saw Myself Doing But Did in My Sophomore...
Climbing in France
May. 2, 2012—Luckily for me, while abroad I have been able to continue with my (slightly-obsessive) hobby of rock-climbing while abroad. At Vanderbilt, I participate in both Wilderness Skills and the Outdoor Recreation Program, which allow me easy-access to all things outdoors…but here, it has been a bit more difficult.
Dinner with a French Family
May. 2, 2012—This semester, I have gone Monday through Thursday nights to have dinner with two other Vanderbilt students and a French family, the Bachs. The two other girls, Mallory and Chloe, and I meet up and walk to the Bachs’ house together where we enjoy 4-6 course authentic French meals and get to practice our French...
Final Projects: The Business Plan
Apr. 30, 2012—Over the course of my undergraduate career, I’ve had the joy of having quite a few different and often interesting final projects (though none quite as taxing/epic as Nathan’s). This year, for Managerial Studies 194: Survey of Entrepreneurship we had a group project we worked on all semester in which we created a business and...
Tips for Surviving Freshman Year
Apr. 30, 2012—As my time here on Commons comes to and end and the new “Sophomore” status sets in, I find it necessary to share some of my Freshman Year wisdom in addition to some tidbits I wish I had known earlier. Class of 2016, this is for you: 1) Be smart about packing: One of the...
FREE PINKBERRY
Apr. 28, 2012—As a dear friend and hallmate of a talented artist named Rachel-Chloe, I was able to enjoy some delicious Pinkberry on Vanderbilt’s tab just minutes ago. It was a perfect study break in my opinion :)
The Joys of Finals Week
Apr. 27, 2012—Finals week. Insert dramatic sigh here. I am honestly quite sad to see that two whole years–HALF of my undergraduate career–is already over. Preparation for my finals is slowly but surely making itself more prominent in my schedule, but that does not deter me from enjoying what is left of life as a sophomore year!
