Guest Blog: In a Nutshell
Aug. 21, 2013—College. With impeccable timing it conveniently crashes down onto our lives, leaving us in desperate search for the chips of our identity and the task of piecing them back together again. After packing up all of our belongings we begin triple checking our list to make sure we have all of the essentials: shower shoes, No. 14 pencils to last a lifetime, and enough Target dorm décor which we hope can transform a 10x10 room into a rough version of the Pottery Barn catalog.
Pre-school: Backpack Basics
Aug. 8, 2013—It's really close, folks. School is less than a month away, and it's almost as exciting as the first day of preschool. What kind of school supplies should you bring to college? Really, it depends on what you are studying and which School you are in because you honestly don't need a TI-84 Silver Edition if you're a Blair kid, but here are a few handy supplies that I think everyone should have.
Finals-Scotland Style.
May. 2, 2013—Hello hello! While my fellow bloggers are all posting about being done with finals and starting their summers, I still have a long way to go! That is because the UK academic system is much different than what we are accustomed to in the states. At Vanderbilt (and like most US colleges), you have 15...
Remaining Calm.
Apr. 30, 2013—If you haven't figured it out yet, it's finals week here at Vandy, and remaining calm is a test of its own! Thankfully the worst is over--I just have one final left (and it's the only actual sit-down final that I have...so of course it's on the last day!) in Formal Logic. In the meantime, I've been doing lots of fun things as study breaks and to cope with the stresses.
Pancakes and Pirouettes
Apr. 27, 2013—In the anticipation of fluffiest pancakes you have ever tasted drowning in some magical sauce concoction, its easy to motivate oneself to wake up at six in the morning in order to get in line for Pancake Pantry. I figure that every one deserves a day off! After my Microbiology exam on Thursday, I declared...
Caitlyn’s Catch-Ups: Finals Frenzy
Dec. 19, 2012—Caitlyn's Catch-Ups Part 4: Finals! As Thanksgiving break approached a few weeks ago, I decided it was probably about time to check out my finals schedule and develop a game plan before it was too late. Looking at my finals though, I quickly realized that a hard-core study schedule was not what I needed.
Three-Eighths
Dec. 18, 2012—Hello one, hello all! It has been a long time since I've posted. Not that I haven't been blogging... it was just a matter of actually publishing my drafts. Ah, well, now that this semester's over and I'm still at Vanderbilt, let me fill you in on a few things and explain why I'm still in warm-weather Nashville.
Checking Boxes
Dec. 16, 2012—As you may or may not have heard, Vanderbilt is in finals mode, the campus a seething mass of caffeinated 20-somethings attempting to re-learn (or simply learn) content from wildly disparate courses. As this drama unfolds around me, threatening to engulf countless students, I will be acting as Inside ‘Dores’ Jim Cantore, reporting live from...
Almost doooooooone
Dec. 14, 2012—It’s been half of day stuffed with studying because I slept in (oops) due to the late night movie. It was totally worth it, though. The Middle Earth definitely did not disappoint, for those of you who were twiddling your thumbs waiting for my review.
Heading to the Shire! brb
Dec. 13, 2012—That’s right, folks. Finals week is, in fact, upon us. My schedule for the past 5 days has literally been: Wake up. Put on sweats. Go to the library. Eat and study. Study study study study. Eat. Study. Return from the library. Sleep. Rinse and repeat as needed. (5 days)
