Standing on the Cumberland Bridge (Status of College: 25% Completed!)
May. 11, 2016—The last night before I left, Carolyn and I took a bus into Nashville and walked along the pedestrian bridge (it’s beautiful!) Standing on the bridge, overlooking the Cumberland, we couldn’t believe how far we had come. As we looked at the lights' reflection on the river water, only one question ran through our minds: How did this happen?
Dear High School Senior Sophie…
Mar. 8, 2016—Hey, dear. Now, take a few deep breaths and look up from that AP Physics C book for now. You’ll do well on the exam, I promise. We need to talk.
Something’s Changed: Coming Back to Vandy, January 2016
Mar. 7, 2016—After a changed flight number and an hour-and-a-half delay, I’m finally headed back to Vanderbilt!!! I’m so excited to go back and have a huge salad from the salad bar, or maybe a veggie burger with Tabasco, or maybe even a bowl of rice. Or actually, maybe everything. After all, I have five new flex meals… ;)
The Happiest Student at Vanderbilt: Random Things I’ve Done at Vandy (Christmas Edition!)
Dec. 23, 2015—Thus ends the first semester of my freshman year. I was my high school valedictorian and I failed three tests.

A Day on Ice
Jan. 30, 2015—Inspired by the great season that the Nashville Predators are having, I decided it was time to return to the ice skating rink and to continue my pursuit of being an Olympic Figure Skater.

I’m Wide Awake
Nov. 12, 2012—This past weekend, I took a vacation.
