Picking a Major
Nov. 11, 2016—I finally declared my major! But wow, picking a major is stressful- there’s a lot of pressure to make the right choice. What’s even more frustrating is when you finally figure it out only to be faced with the inevitable question of “What kind of job can you get with that major?” from you parents....

Another Round of Delta Underground!
Nov. 8, 2016—There are so many unique performances, speakers, and charity benefits that are happening every week on Vanderbilt’s campus, but Delta Underground holds a special place in my heart.

Photos from the Road
Oct. 28, 2016—It’s been a busy fall for my Vanderbilt admissions counselor colleagues.

With the Early Decision I deadline fast approaching, much of their travel for this fall is now in the rearview mirror. I’ve enjoyed seeing...
Claudia Willen’s Day Off
Oct. 27, 2016—Inspired by the one and only Ferris Bueller, I decided to book a flight for this past Wednesday and spend my class-free Thursday roaming the streets of Chicago. Okay, only half true. I was inspired by the classic coming-of-age film, but my trip was definitely not as spontaneous and care-free as I like to make...
The Road to Copenhagen
Oct. 21, 2016—A year ago, I would have told you there was no way I was spending one of my precious eight semesters as a Vanderbilt student away from campus. There were too many things to do at Vanderbilt, too many leadership positions in jeopardy, and too many friends I couldn’t live without. I couldn’t imagine walking...
Student Takeovers on Snapchat
Oct. 17, 2016—There’s a new way to learn about student life at Vanderbilt, and it’s a snap!

A Variety of Speakers
Oct. 16, 2016—As you may have picked up, this semester is pretty packed for me — but there’s no cause to worry! Even with eighteen hours and a Mayfield Project (refer to other post), there’s still plenty of time to do things that I like to do. (And if I can do it, I know you can!)...
