‘Classes’
Don Quixote and Experimental Fiction
Oct. 15, 2013—This semester, my classes are actually fun. I know, it seems strange, but they really are! Now that I have fulfilled the majority of my graduation requirements, I can take classes that interest me. One of my favorites, is an honors seminar called “Don Quixote and Experimental Fiction.” As I mentioned in my last blog...
First Year writing Seminar Vs. Fall Break
Oct. 12, 2013—As an international student, I know that my chances of going back home are restricted to Summer break and maybe Winter break. Which is kind of sad, but still fine. There are so many things you can do during breaks if you’re an international student and it is a great way to explore the US....
When the Going Gets Tough
Sep. 25, 2013—...this girl relies on coffee, sleep and Grey’s Anatomy to make it through the week.
Oh, Thank Heaven for Semester Seven!
Sep. 12, 2013—(The title’s a stretch, I know. It’s hard to rhyme with seven.) We’re about 3 and a half weeks into my second-to-last semester here at Vanderbilt, and the fact that I haven’t blogged yet is a pretty good indicator of how busy it has been. That being said, it is so good to be back...
Senior Schedule
Sep. 6, 2013—Since we’re now in September, I feel like I’m getting into the routine of my classes. I’ve really enjoyed them so far and luckily haven’t had much homework (knock on wood). So here's my senior schedule for the fall:
Senior Year- A Different Schedule
Aug. 25, 2013—I cannot believe that this is my last fall at Vanderbilt. Between football games, Homecoming week the opening of Alumni Hall, this semester is sure to fly by. Because I am a senior, my schedule is a weird mix of classes that I need to complete my major and AXLE. Thus, although the timing of...
New Year, New Semester
Aug. 22, 2013—The Fall Semester of 2013 has begun. I am now officially a Junior in college and have passed the half-way point of my college career. Here is a preview of my junior year schedule. This semester, I decided to take 19 hours per week, one hour more than the standard 18 hours. These classes are:...
Guest Blog: In a Nutshell
Aug. 21, 2013—College. With impeccable timing it conveniently crashes down onto our lives, leaving us in desperate search for the chips of our identity and the task of piecing them back together again. After packing up all of our belongings we begin triple checking our list to make sure we have all of the essentials: shower shoes, No. 14 pencils to last a lifetime, and enough Target dorm décor which we hope can transform a 10x10 room into a rough version of the Pottery Barn catalog.
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.

Registering from Abroad, Part 2: Classes
Apr. 24, 2013—Part 2 of my Registering from Abroad guide. How does registering for courses work when you're abroad? Pretty much the same as if you're in Nashville. And when choosing a university, it's important to remember even the little things like an easy to navigate enrollment process.
Registration Woes
Apr. 15, 2013—I can't really complain about registration since I'm a rising senior, and we get the best registration days. I can, however, complain about the fact that I am a rising senior, and last week I registered for classes for the second-to-last time. And I panicked about classes for the second-to-last time. I feel old.
