‘Summer’
Back in the Nash
Jun. 12, 2013—After a relaxing month in Naples, I was ready to get back into the swing of something–and that something happens to be Nashville! This is the first summer I’ve gone back to the city, and I’m so excited to share with you all what I’m doing while here! First off, as Caitlyn mentioned, we’re roomies...
Off to Bilmore we go!

What I Learned
Jun. 11, 2013—I spent the past four weeks in Solola, Guatemala interning with Manna Project International. I worked with six other amazing interns and we were supervised by four long-term program directors. My time in Guatemala definitely ranks high as one of the best months of my life. Despite the lack of running water and clean meat to eat, I made some amazing friends and learned a lot about the world and about myself.
Art Class in Guatemala
Jun. 6, 2013—So, today is actually my last full day in Guatemala. I plan on sharing a full summary of my month with you all when I get home. But now, I want to share an experience I had teaching art class this past Tuesday.

Twenty-four days away from the perpetual sunshine and barbeque-tinged air feels like much too much, but lucky for me, my home away from home and I will be reunited once again in no time at all. While in the grand scheme of life/time/eternity,...
Guest Blog: Finding the ‘What’
May. 22, 2013—We have been talking a lot about 'why Vanderbilt?', what drew us here, but how about the 'what' at Vanderbilt? For anyone interested in the healthcare field, Peabody student Lynsie Ferrell, recently accepted to the School of Nursing, writes about one of Vanderbilt's 'best kept secrets' and why you should look into it.
Destination: Dallas!
May. 16, 2013—What is Dallas? It is the home to two of my favorite Vandy friends, Sam and Trevor, who made it their mission to uphold their Texas pride and show me their city's best. Well, they just about blew me away!
Hola from Solola
May. 13, 2013—Hola! Estoy escribiendo de la casa de Manna en Solola, Guatemala. Hi! I am writing to you from the Manna Project International house in Solola, Guatemala. I arrived on Saturday morning and have spent the past few days getting oriented. Solola is about 3 hours from Guatemala City.

Summer Plans
May. 10, 2013—It’s been one week since the summer started and I have made sure to do almost nothing since then. I’ve been happily sitting around my house sleeping, eating and watching movies.
