The 21-Hour Day
Feb. 24, 2014—Yesterday marked a milestone for my college career: my first all-nighter. After a rock-climbing trip with WilSkills, I had 12 hours to research and practice a 9-minute extemporaneous speech for my public speaking class. There are many excuses I could give as to why I had yet to begin researching for a speech I knew...
My Desk (Victoria’s Version)
Dec. 10, 2013—You might remember Priyanka's post about what she keeps on her desk. Well, I was inspired to do one of my own!
LET IT SNOW
Dec. 10, 2013—After five hours spent in the library working on a research paper, I emerged into the night with my spirits low and in desperate need of caffeine to get me through the next ten pages. I was met by a beautiful sight: snow. And lots of it!
Man-I’ve-Been-Bad-at-Pacing-These-This-Semester Monday, Part 2
Dec. 9, 2013—While I’m gearing up for finals this week (wish me luck!), I’ve also been gearing up for the holidays. The result is my newest masterpiece, “Twas the Week of Vandy Exams."
The End
Dec. 9, 2013—Finals week: It's stressful because I feel pressure to do well on these last projects, papers, and exams, but yet the process is straightforward enough that I am not truly anxious about it. Or at least, not as anxious as I thought I would be. First, let me distinguish between stress and anxiety.
The Thanksgiving Scramble
Nov. 18, 2013—It is Monday. This is my list of things to do: Time to freak out. Not. This week, the week before Thanksgiving Break, is probably the worst week of the fall semester. It doesn’t help that there is only week after Thanksgiving before Finals start. Scary, scary times. How do you combat this feeling of...
Need some inspiration for Biology exam?
Sep. 21, 2013—Having recently survived my first Biology exam without any apparent physical damage (although amino acid formulas still haunt me in my sleep lol), and I think one of the many reasons this exam was manageable, even though Professor Stubbs exams are usually challenging, is that I made it fun! You see, Stevenson Center WILL be...
Oh, Thank Heaven for Semester Seven!
Sep. 12, 2013—(The title’s a stretch, I know. It’s hard to rhyme with seven.) We’re about 3 and a half weeks into my second-to-last semester here at Vanderbilt, and the fact that I haven’t blogged yet is a pretty good indicator of how busy it has been. That being said, it is so good to be back...
Senior Schedule
Sep. 6, 2013—Since we’re now in September, I feel like I’m getting into the routine of my classes. I’ve really enjoyed them so far and luckily haven’t had much homework (knock on wood). So here's my senior schedule for the fall:
