‘Summer’
A Visit from a Fellow Commodore
Aug. 1, 2013—The Vanderbubble really is a small world. When I arrived in Guatemala this summer as a Program Intern for Manna Project International, I was shocked to learn that one of my bosses, Nicole, a 13-month Program Director, actually graduated from Vanderbilt in 2012. Although we both learned about Manna through Vanderbilt’s active chapter on campus,...
Suite Escape

Friday Night Lights
Jul. 23, 2013—If you ever get the chance to check out Cheekwood Botanical Gardens here in Nashville, I definitely recommend it. It's an oasis in the midst of a city with beautiful gardens, green spaces, and fountains that's wonderful to explore on a sunny day.
The Waiting Game
Jul. 19, 2013—The waiting game is my least favorite game. But, sometimes, it is a game I am forced to play. This time around, I am waiting for secondary applications from medical schools. After I receive and submit those, my work will be subject to another round of screening before I hopefully receive invitations to interview. Here, I share with you how I have been passing the time.
Summer Celebrations!
Jul. 17, 2013—Last Tuesday was the day after my dear friend Rachel-Chloe's birthday. Since her family was in town for the actual day, Caitlyn and I decided to throw a birthday bash for RC the day after--and we were sure to do it in style.

When Your Mom Visits (Version 2.0)
Jul. 10, 2013—As I mentioned earlier, my mom was here this past week! Whenever my mom comes, we try and do some exploring--either a new part of town, or Nashville classics that I might not always have a chance to get to during the school year. Thus, I present to you a list of the things my mom and I did while she was here this time. Consider it your own personal list of things to do when you visit Nashville.
Weekend 4: Exploring Nashville Some More!
Jul. 7, 2013—Today, I bring you a short synopsis of our 4th weekend of Nashville adventures, complete with a rhyming title, of course! Caitlyn and I continued our mission to do something new and inexpensive in Nashville, and weekend four did not disappoint.
