Laptops: Yay or Nay
Aug. 9, 2013—Many of you might have read my last post with the question, what about my laptop? Can I bring that to class? Really, it depends on your professor. Some will allow it, others won't. It also depends on your class. Do you really need a laptop when you go to Financial Accounting to write out your debits and credits? Didn't think so. Here are some pros and cons of bringing your laptops to class.
AXLE
Aug. 9, 2013—When I first enrolled at Vanderbilt, I thought: "Finally! I can take classes I want to and avoid some subjects like the plague." While this is truer in college than it is in high school, there is still a requirement in the College of Arts and Science to take courses outside of your major.
Pre-school: Backpack Basics
Aug. 8, 2013—It's really close, folks. School is less than a month away, and it's almost as exciting as the first day of preschool. What kind of school supplies should you bring to college? Really, it depends on what you are studying and which School you are in because you honestly don't need a TI-84 Silver Edition if you're a Blair kid, but here are a few handy supplies that I think everyone should have.
Miami Summer Send-Off
Aug. 6, 2013—This past Sunday, over 100 Vanderbilt students, families and alumni gathered at the beautiful LaGorce Country Club in Miami Beach for the Annual Summer Send-Off.

I Major in Talking [Guest Post]
Aug. 5, 2013—Recently, I asked a friend of mine, Katy Biddle, to write a short post on what her major was to give a different view of Vanderbilt academics that is unrelated to my usual pre-med talk. And so, I present to you: Katy Biddle. Hello! I’m Katy Biddle, guest blogging for Jae. A little bit about...
A Walk Through Brevard
Aug. 5, 2013—Hello! It’s the last day of Brevard, and I thought I might take a walk with you down the main road, Andante Lane, and reminisce a little, because yes indeed the weeks at Brevard have just flown by and it's just a week 'til I return home to Nashville!
Intern Life- Getting the Job
Aug. 3, 2013—Thursday marked the last day of my internship at ad agency redpepper, and I am terribly sad to leave. I had an absolutely amazing time, spending every Tuesday and Thursday of my summer in Nashville there, and I'm definitely planning on visiting during the school year, since redpepper is just off of West End--only a ten minute walk from where I'm living next semester!
Three in One
Aug. 1, 2013—This past Sunday, I accomplished one of my summer goals: the triathlon. With a time of 3 hours 11 minutes, I completed the Music City Triathlon and crossed that one off the bucket list.

Although we both learned about Manna through Vanderbilt’s active chapter on campus,...
