Apr. 27, 2013—As I mentioned before, I have the second-to-last exam on Wednesday, so most people will have left campus by the time I'm done. Here's a pros and cons list of chilling at Vandy til the very end of the semester.
A (Not So) Melo Goodbye
Apr. 27, 2013—For most of us, this is our last weekend at Vanderbilt, decidedly one of stressful cramming, overnighters hauled along successive nights of insurmountable worry and an endless supply of our favorite Bongo Java coffee, and the prospect of imminent leaving. I will be following up later this week with some final thoughts on my freshman...
Final Thoughts on Leaving School
Apr. 27, 2013—Undoubtedly the most stressful element of leaving school at the end of the semester is finishing up your exams, projects, and papers.

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.

Pre-Med Interview

Wrapping Things Up
Apr. 25, 2013—In one week, I will be done with Sophomore year and done with half my college career. (assuming I don’t choose to take a victory year). It’s unbelievable how fast this year especially flew up. Only yesterday does it feel like the summer had just ended and I was preparing for my 2nd year at...

Registering from Abroad, Part 2: Classes
Apr. 24, 2013—Part 2 of my Registering from Abroad guide. How does registering for courses work when you're abroad? Pretty much the same as if you're in Nashville. And when choosing a university, it's important to remember even the little things like an easy to navigate enrollment process.
Registering From Abroad, Part 1: Housing
Apr. 24, 2013—When planning to go abroad for this semester, I was worried about lots of things. What do I pack? What will the other students be like? WIll I actually have free time to travel around Europe? How hard will my classes be? Am I going to catch my flights? But I can’t say that I...
