Editors Note: Take Two
Apr. 14, 2014—So my first editor’s note came when I found out I would be co-editor in chief of Inside ‘Dores with Ann next year, but with newspaper content editor applications submitted and evaluated, I have a new editorial position to add to the list! Next year I’ll be serving as The Hustler’s Life Editor, and after two years...
Guest Lecture at the Curb Center
Feb. 18, 2014—This year, the Communication Studies department moved to the Curb Center. I am not going to lie. When I first heard that my classes were neither going to be on main campus nor on commons, but rather in a totally separate location, I was pretty upset. I had no desire to walk almost a mile each way to and from class. I also feared that I would always be late for lunch plans. But, the new space is definitely worth it. In addition is new classrooms, the Communications office suite actually houses the entire department. There is also a great auditorium where the department can host speakers, which brings me to the point of this post.
The Community in HOD
Feb. 16, 2014—We all know that Vanderbilt is one of the nation's greatest learning institutions. It's a hub of intellectual development. One reason why I love coming to school here is that in my classes, I not only gain that cognitive fact, but they teach me how to nullify the contradiction between learning and living.
‘s great? Semester eight!
Jan. 19, 2014—It only took two weeks for me to remember I had a whole lot of blogging to do. And of course, I can't miss out on my very last classic semester preview post. Yes, that's right dear readers. I am already two weeks into my final semester of my undergraduate career. I am in a constant fight with panic and hyperventilation.
Semester Recap
Dec. 15, 2013—Can you believe it, dear readers? I’ve got one semester left. That is a positively terrifying and thrilling idea which I am trying not to reflect on too much—I’m not sure I’m quite ready to leave Vandy just yet
Coolest Classes at Vandy: English 200
Dec. 6, 2013—With the semester coming to a close, it’s been a little hard to get in the holiday spirit with finals looming in the distance, but I had some help courtesy of Professor Amanda Little, who teaches one of the best classes I've taken at Vandy!
A Plug for Biodiversity (and My Major)
Dec. 6, 2013—Dear readers, I have the best major. My introductory/foundational Cognitive Studies class, PSY-PC 1207 Minds, Brains, Contexts, & Cultures, just wrapped up with a final project about effecting social change. In the spirit of my second passion, Communication of Science, I integrated topics from my human biology class (BSci 105) to present the importance of biodiversity...
I GOT INTO MED SCHOOL!
Oct. 16, 2013—I thought that I would never see the day. I actually got into medical school. The University of Florida College of Medicine called me this morning to notify me that I have a place in their class of 2018. I nearly fainted when I heard the news.
Meet our newest additions!
Sep. 19, 2013—Two weeks ago I got the most intense, high stakes homework assignment that I’ve ever received, and it wasn’t even for a class. What could possibly be so important, you may ask? Nothing but INSIDE ‘DORES APPLICATION READING, of course!!!
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...
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...
