Intern Life- Getting the Job
Aug. 3, 2013—Thursday marked the last day of my internship at ad agency redpepper, and I am terribly sad to leave. I had an absolutely amazing time, spending every Tuesday and Thursday of my summer in Nashville there, and I'm definitely planning on visiting during the school year, since redpepper is just off of West End--only a ten minute walk from where I'm living next semester!
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.

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!

The Commons Explained
Jul. 14, 2013—So, when I was a freshman, housing assignments were mailed on August 1st. We received a packet with our house, room number, room mate and details about the move-in process. Apparently, this year, students could log into their meal-plan selection and figure out which their house. I am sure that this has created quite the buzz on social media, so here is a little bit about all ten houses on the Commons that will hopefully ease some anxieties.
Packing it In
Jul. 10, 2013—In a little over one month, you’ll be moving into the great city of Nashville, Tennessee. For the next four years, you’ll call Vanderbilt home for the next year, the Commons will be your home. Like every good home, you’ll need things to make your stay as comfortable as possible. From my past 2 years...
Tips for First-Years
Jul. 9, 2013—After my own first year at Vanderbilt, I kind of forgot about the anxiety and anticipation that leads up to move-in. But, this year, with my sister preparing for her first year at Vanderbilt, and all of her friends leaving to schools around the country, my house is full of the same stress and nerves that I brought home three years ago. I remember wishing that I knew older Vanderbilt students, who could give me advice, or even just calm me down. Here are a few things that all first years should remember.
