My Professors are So COOL!
Apr. 14, 2010—I think that one of the best things about the end of the semester is those last few classes where my professors like to share their life stories! Now, not all of them will spend 30 minutes talking about their past jobs and experiences, but sometimes you will get lucky enough to get them off...
Diverging Directions
Apr. 14, 2010—On the way to one of my afternoon classes this sunny Wednesday, I started thinking back to my first year at Vanderbilt. My thoughts drifted to three friends I used to regularly hang out with in a neighboring House on the Commons. For this entry, I will call them Trent, Jack, and Mike.
Collegiate Leadership Vanderbilt Capstone Trip
Apr. 13, 2010—This past weekend I went to Austin with Collegiate Leadership Vanderbilt for the program’s capstone trip. Collegiate Leadership Vanderbilt (CLV) is a great program that I applied to last year. Every month we listen to a local Nashville leader and have a nice meal. At the end of every year, CLV picks a city and...
Joining Campus Crusade (Written 4/4/2010)

Some trees are starting to bloom and everything is just gorgeous. Everybody around campus is trying to find a way to take their work outside. Around campus...

Whoo!), I have spent a few hours every day this week sitting in on the selection interviews for our new class of tour guides. I love Vanderbilt and the AmbassaDores program so it has been really fun and exciting to meet the students who are...
These Are a Few of My Favorite (Nashville) Things…
Apr. 11, 2010—PART TWO Hillsboro Village – A unique part of Nashville is located right outside Peabody campus. Resell clothing shops and bookstores, high quality boutiques, coffee shops, the popular Pancake Pantry – this is definitely an eclectic part of the city. It’s the first place I took my parents when they first came to visit me...
Stuck Between a Few Schools? Analysis of College Location…
Apr. 6, 2010—This past weekend, I went up to Boston to visit my best from grade school at Tufts University. As soon as I got to Boston, the city came at me with full force. Everything was at a fast pace, people rushing in and out of subways to get where they needed to go. While the...
