My Taste of Home
Nov. 1, 2012—This past weekend at Vanderbilt was extra-awesome!!! But you won't know why unless you read about it here!
The Package Line 2: The Streets
Oct. 29, 2012—This January, I wrote a sad blog about the realities of the package line after breaks. Despite their best efforts at moving students through, the package window was besieged by horrible lines due to the number of students shipping books and home items to Vandy. Apparently Inside ‘Dores is really the pulse of the student...
Course Considerations
Oct. 25, 2012—It's that time of the year—registration for the spring semester is fast approaching!
Why Wait? Applying to Vanderbilt Early Decision

Guest Lecturer
Oct. 23, 2012—Today, in Rhetoric of the American Experience 1865-1945, we had a guest lecturer. Professor J.

Then, I also attended a talk that he gave later in the afternoon to the entire Communication Studies department.
White Panda and Class Excursions
Oct. 22, 2012—It seems like no weekend here at Vanderbilt is a boring weekend. And this weekend was no exception. After class on Friday, I spent my afternoon doing what I do best; loafing.

The Grind
Oct. 9, 2012—So, the number of blog drafts I have sitting on WordPress from mid-August when school began is a little embarrassing. I had every intention of posting updates on the first week of classes, Inside ‘Dores training, Melodores auditions, and a cornucopia of other beginning-of-year types of things. Fear not, reader, for I will deliver, albeit...
Why I applied to Vanderbilt
Oct. 8, 2012—Time really does fly! It seems like just yesterday that I was applying to college. I know that it is an extremely stressful time for high school seniors and their families. I hope that my reasons for applying to Vanderbilt can help you all decide to apply to Vanderbilt, or at the very least, figure...
Coursera
Oct. 3, 2012—Vanderbilt recently announced that it is partnering with Coursera to offer free online courses. As such, when I was able to attend Daphne Koller’s (co-creator of Coursera) presentation for extra credit, I was super-excited. I thought it would be a somewhat interesting discussion, but I never imagined just how incredible this program really is nor how influential it will be to my future career...
Time for a break!
Oct. 3, 2012—This has been, by far, one of my busiest semesters here at Vandy, but I love everything I’m involved in too much to complain.
