The Deed is Done
Mar. 2, 2013—It is finally done. It is finally official. Back in November, I said I was going to declare my major "in a few weeks." Turns out I lied, but I finally got around to making everything official.
The Vanderbilt Political Review
Feb. 26, 2013—At Vanderbilt, there are close to half-a-million extracurricular activities in which you can get involved. These include religious groups, service groups, cultural group, intermural sports, and so many others. One group with which I have been active for several years is the Vanderbilt Political Review. We are a non-partisan group that publishes an academic journal...
Midterm Madness
Feb. 25, 2013—Midterms are upon us! In the coming week, I’m sure you’ll hear a great (and valid) amount about the trials and tribulations of midterm examinations, pontifications and dissertations on Westernization, and other such things. I’m beating the rest of Inside ‘Dores to the punch, however – my midterm week came early, and it was a...
Theatre “Homework”
Feb. 24, 2013—I felt very cultured this weekend because I saw not one, but two plays at Neely Auditorium (one of them was even Hamlet!).
Admitted Admissions Advertisement
Feb. 22, 2013—Last week, Samantha and I braved a journey filled with questioning glances, outright staring, and much laughter as we traversed across campus accompanied by our fondly inanimate friends, the swivel chairs. How did such a bizarre occurrence come about?
Consider Me Inspired
Feb. 13, 2013—Many a time, I pray for inspiration. Sometimes, music majors get down in a funk about practicing, as it seems like there’s no point in sawing away at our expensive, hollowed out pieces of wood and we suffer from a dearth of motivation. But I first encountered Johannes Moser when he performed the Schumann Cello Concerto with the Berlin Philharmonic. On Youtube, that is. That three minute clip was so inspiring that I ran to the practice room and practiced for an hour and a half.
A Senior Recital
Feb. 12, 2013—This past Saturday, I went to a vocal Senior Recital at Blair. I am an A&S student, through and through, so I had no idea that Senior Recitals even existed. I figured I would enlighten you guys, so we can all be a little more knowledgable about the smallest of Vanderbilt's schools.
Life as I know it.
Feb. 12, 2013—Well, it’s been quite some time since you all have heard from me. This post aims to serve two purposes: 1. to prove that I have not, in fact, fallen off the face of the earth, and 2. give you a glimpse of my life as a second semester junior. My heart skipped a beat...
Shadowing at the Med Center
Feb. 10, 2013—This past Tuesday I got to see a hip replacement, spine surgery, and the inside of Vanderbilt Medical Center.
Shopping for Internships!
Feb. 9, 2013—This past weekend my roommates and I had an internship workshop for two hours...
College=Power
Feb. 6, 2013—College is a time of empowerment. I think at our ages, between 18-22, we truly believe we make a difference So when we support the Children's Hospital with the annual Dance Marathon, when we go to National Coming Out Week events, or broke the world record last year for most vaccine shots in one place in eight hours for the Flulapalooza. And even if Vandy is still growing in its football program, it doesn't mean we can't fill a stadium because we don't have school spirit.
Group Projects Galore
Feb. 5, 2013—Perhaps you remember my group projects from various semesters. This semester continues to have a plethora of unique projects--and over my many group projects, I've found some common threads. Consider this your official group project guide.
