I love summer.
Jul. 23, 2012—The title says it all. My summer break has been much too good to me. While there is a small void in my life without my Vandy friends, being back home has been filled with wonderful memories!
VanderBabies! (Part 1 of 3)
Jul. 15, 2012—Almost a year ago, I arrived at Vanderbilt as the only student from my high school class. This year, three students from my high school will be joining the Vanderbilt family. I personally have known these three students for a few years, and I couldn’t be happier that they are attending the greatest school on the planet! To help welcome them to the community, I decided to interview them.
London Calling
Jul. 14, 2012—In case you can’t tell, I’m a teeeeny bit excited about studying abroad in London next fall. Two of my friends are studying abroad in Edinburgh, one in St. Andrews, and another in Buenos Aires…so how did we decide where to study?
A Day in the Life: Stubbs Lab
Jul. 12, 2012—I’ve blogged in the past about my undergraduate research in a structural biology lab at Vanderbilt and how this summer I’m working full-time as a part of a summer research program called VUSRP, but I’ve never really gotten into the nitty gritty of what I do in lab. Welcome to a day in the life...
Summer Update
Jul. 8, 2012—Sorry I’ve been slacking with my blogging y’all, but here are a few updates:
Reliving the SATs
Jul. 8, 2012—If you're reading this as a potential Vanderbilt student (or as an admitted one), you know the woes of SAT and ACT prep. You know about sitting for several hours in cold rooms to take the tests that help determine your future college. This summer, I've taken the time to re-live these standardized tests--and I'm actually enjoying it.
Can You Feel The Love Tonight?
Jul. 8, 2012—Bonjour! We have arrived in Paris, toured around the hotspots, immersed ourselves in French culture, and have loved the music!
MCAT…DONE!
Jul. 8, 2012—My summer has finally begun! I know it seems a little late, but I can finally relax! I took the MCAT on Friday afternoon, so my summer studies are officially over.
My Summer So Far
Jul. 5, 2012—Well, it has been about two months since my summer vacation began and I left my home away from home, the wonderful Vanderbilt University.
My Published Research Paper
Jun. 27, 2012—As I mentioned in a few of my previous posts, I worked on a semester-long research paper and project for one of my classes. The class was about democracy and public opinion in Latin America, which was completely unfamiliar to me prior to it. My final published paper was a collaborative effort with two of...
Commencement: The Participant’s Perspective
Jun. 25, 2012—(You've gotten my perspective of the Commencement experience--now see it through the graduate's eyes. The following post is written by my very good friend Stephen Hollabaugh [see picture below], a recent graduate of the Vanderbilt Class of 2012.)
Vanderbilt Undergraduate Summer Research Program
Jun. 8, 2012—The Vanderbilt Undergraduate Summer Research Program is pretty self-explanatory….it is a summer research program for undergraduates at Vanderbilt! Okay, but really…it is a program that students apply to (usually for the summer after junior year, but sometimes after sophomore year) that allows them to do research in any field (to apply, you submit your project...
