Remaining Calm.
Apr. 30, 2013—If you haven't figured it out yet, it's finals week here at Vandy, and remaining calm is a test of its own! Thankfully the worst is over--I just have one final left (and it's the only actual sit-down final that I have...so of course it's on the last day!) in Formal Logic. In the meantime, I've been doing lots of fun things as study breaks and to cope with the stresses.
Moving Up in the World
Apr. 29, 2013—In three days, I will be closing up my Sophomore year and prepare to take the next step of college: Junior year. A small step up in the scheme of things but a move up nonetheless. Next year will be especially important in that I will be preparing for the actual next big step in...
Study Break: White Water Rafting
Apr. 28, 2013—Typically, a study break from Finals involves going to the Munchie Mart and buying tub of Ben and Jerry's ice cream to assuage my woes. However, thanks to a keen eye on Groupon, a dozen of us drove a couple miles out to Ocoee, Tennessee and went white-water rafting.
Registering From Abroad, Part 1: Housing
Apr. 24, 2013—When planning to go abroad for this semester, I was worried about lots of things. What do I pack? What will the other students be like? WIll I actually have free time to travel around Europe? How hard will my classes be? Am I going to catch my flights? But I can’t say that I...
Holi Moly!
Apr. 18, 2013—When I get stressed about school, I like to take a short study break. So I decided to participate in Holi, the Indian color festival.
Group Presentations Galore
Apr. 18, 2013—I'm a science major, so I'm used to your average "four tests and a final" grading system. This semester, I was thrown for a bit of a loop when I learned I would have group presentations in three of my four classes.
#vu2017
Mar. 28, 2013—The excitement is tangible, dear readers, as acceptance letters have gone out to regular decision applicants this past Monday. You might think this doesn't affect the general population here at Vanderbilt or that we current students are long past the world of admissions and don't keep up with the news--but oh how wrong you'd be!
‘s that anticipatory time of year!
Mar. 20, 2013—I have always been one of those students who loved planning. There's something comforting about sorting numerous subcategories into an overall compartmentalized unit. Or maybe I'm slightly OCD and Type A. ;) Regardless, now is the time of year where people like me get to excitedly plan out their summers, next year accommodations, and future classes...
Midterms
Feb. 24, 2013—With just one week before spring break, midterm season is upon us. I have two exams this week and a project due, but compared to some of my friends, I suppose I got off easy. Here is the short list of things standing between me and my beautiful family in sunny Miami Beach.
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...
‘s Birthplace, Superbowl Scotland Style, and the flu
Feb. 4, 2013—Hello friends! So this week in Edinburgh was amazing! Every week is getting better and better here. So let me just tell you what I did Tuesday: My program had a “reunion dinner” at a restaurant over in the West End of Edinburgh. We went to a restaurant called Bar Roma which serves traditional italian food. Most...
YOSO: You Only Scotland Once.
Jan. 16, 2013—So after a 3 hour drive to Newark Airport and a 7 hour flight to Edinburgh, I made it to Scotland safe and on-time last Wednesday morning. My first observation: this city is probably the most beautiful city I have ever seen. Moving on… my first few days in Edinburgh were spent in my IFSA [institute for...
