Caitlyn’s Catch-Ups: Finals Frenzy
Dec. 19, 2012—Caitlyn's Catch-Ups Part 4: Finals! As Thanksgiving break approached a few weeks ago, I decided it was probably about time to check out my finals schedule and develop a game plan before it was too late.

High Poverty Youth Class
Dec. 17, 2012—This semester I chose to take an Peabody HOD class called High Poverty Youth. This class focused on the difficulties of living in poverty, and how society could address it.

Checking Boxes
Dec. 16, 2012—As you may or may not have heard, Vanderbilt is in finals mode, the campus a seething mass of caffeinated 20-somethings attempting to re-learn (or simply learn) content from wildly disparate courses.

Imma miss you, Vandy.
Dec. 15, 2012—Well folks, I survived the semester. After a stressful morning of last minute packing, goodbyes, and two plane rides, I am finally made it home.

Almost doooooooone
Dec. 14, 2012—It’s been half of day stuffed with studying because I slept in (oops) due to the late night movie. It was totally worth it, though. The Middle Earth definitely did not disappoint, for those of you who were twiddling your thumbs waiting for my review.
Heading to the Shire! brb
Dec. 13, 2012—That’s right, folks. Finals week is, in fact, upon us. My schedule for the past 5 days has literally been: Wake up. Put on sweats. Go to the library. Eat and study. Study study study study. Eat. Study. Return from the library. Sleep. Rinse and repeat as needed. (5 days)
The life of a Peabody student during finals week
Dec. 13, 2012—Vanderbilt has an intriguing finals atmosphere: students meander around on 0-2 hours of sleep per night, moving from a test to the library and just maybe stopping for coffee in between. When you're a Peabody student, however, your life tends to be a bit different come finals week.

Dec. 13, 2012—Today, I am coming to you from my kitchen table in warm and sunny Miami Beach. I'm sorry to brag, but nothing compares to the euphoria of finishing finals each semester. If I'm being honest, here, I will say that this semester my finals weren't actually that bad. But either way, finals are finals and I lived to tell the tale.
