‘College Life’
My Fall Schedule
Aug. 27, 2012—As the drop/ add period is finally coming to a close, my schedule is officially set. I am currently enrolled in fifteen hours and ZERO labs. This is a first for me, so I am actually planning on using my free afternoons researching in a lab in the medical center (more on that, later).
The Ladies at Last Drop Coffee Shop!
Aug. 27, 2012—I’m sure my other posts have echoed this time and time again, but the people at Vanderbilt add another dimension to the school experience.

Spotlight and VPB Palooza
Aug. 25, 2012—My first Friday night back at school was full of school-sponsored activities. First, my friend and I went to Hillel for the Welcome Back Shabbat Dinner. Then, we went to Spotlight, where we met up with the rest of our friends. The night ended with VPB Palooza.

What will arrive in semester five…
Aug. 21, 2012—By the end of the day tomorrow, I will have completed more of my undergraduate schooling than I have left. That’s a scary thought. Thankfully, there’s a whole lot of excitement and awesomeness that’s going to be packed into these next two years. Here’s a little sneak peek of my classes for the upcoming semester,...
First Tour of the Year!
Aug. 21, 2012—Being a junior means that I am also a “veteran guide” which sounds awesome and lets me begin giving tours as soon as I get back on campus, which is what I did today!
It’s almost time!
Aug. 21, 2012—The few days before school begins are always a little crazy–on Saturday I moved in a whole lot of first years (and was a firsthand witness to Ann’s great enthusiasm). The rest of the day was spent recovering and catching up with some friends and then trekking back to Commons for the Protestant worship service...
High School Memories
Aug. 21, 2012—Even though I haven’t been reunited with my Vandy friends yet (I’m visiting this weekend though!) I’ve been able to spend a bunch of time with high school friends!
Almost back to the grind…
Aug. 21, 2012—This post comes to you from the common room of my apartment-style dorm back at Vandy! I moved in on Saturday, and in true Vanderbilt style, a plethora of things have happened since.
All Moved In and Ready to Go
Aug. 20, 2012—Just a few minutes ago, I said good-bye to my parents as they dropped me off for my junior year. It’s been a whirlwind couple of days, but I am just about settled into my new room.
“If I knew then what I know now…”

More Nashville Adventures!
Aug. 19, 2012—Well readers, I'm officially moved in, my mom has left, and I've moved in a whole bunch of first years along with some friends. 2 out of my other 3 Chaffin-mates have moved in (stay tuned for a tour), and I'm starting to feel nice and settled here at Vandy. I cannot believe school starts in a few days, so instead of touching on that, I'm going to tell you about a few more adventures my mom and I had before she left!
