Back in the Nash
Jun. 12, 2013—After a relaxing month in Naples, I was ready to get back into the swing of something–and that something happens to be Nashville! This is the first summer I’ve gone back to the city, and I’m so excited to share with you all what I’m doing while here! First off, as Caitlyn mentioned, we’re roomies...
Relaxation Station
May. 29, 2013—I've been home in sunny Naples, Florida for a little under a month now and I think I've officially recovered the sleep debt built up over last semester. Being home has been wonderfully relaxing but I've also reached the point where my mind is not quite comprehending why I've had so few things to do.
42 Days of Summer
May. 7, 2013—Per usual, I must first apologize for my conspicuously lengthy absence. Truth be told, I was bitter that my “What Will You Be” blog, which I was sure would win me a Pulitzer, wasn’t Tweeted by @VanderbiltU. Now that I’ve had a month to stew on it, and by stew on it I most definitely...
What Will You Be?
Apr. 9, 2013—If you haven’t figured it out, I already love the future class of 2017. So of course, I couldn’t resist following in the footsteps of fellow bloggers Nathan and Ryan. Reflecting on my Vanderbilt experience and trying to sum it up in a few words is always difficult, but here’s what stands out: You will...
Getting my Kicks in Semester Six…
Jan. 15, 2013—All right, I admit, the title’s a stretch. Feel free to comment with something better. But I had to keep the tradition alive. And sure, this isn’t quite a preview since I’ve already had a full week of class–but while I’ve had a full week of class, you have no idea what I’m up to!...
Catch-Up With Victoria and Nathan: Part IX
Dec. 13, 2012—This beautiful Tuesday evening, I was privileged to spend time with my closest friends, the Inside 'Dores team.
Catch-Up with Nathan (and Victoria): Chapter V
Nov. 29, 2012—This, the fifth installment of the Catch-Up Chronicles, is dedicated to my blogging counterpart, Victoria. May she ever attempt to be my equal. So, as many of you may know, I have a blog. I’ve been writing for Inside ‘Dores for almost two years, and it’s proven to be a great experience – I’m able...
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,...
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!
Final Projects: The Business Plan
Apr. 30, 2012—Over the course of my undergraduate career, I’ve had the joy of having quite a few different and often interesting final projects (though none quite as taxing/epic as Nathan’s). This year, for Managerial Studies 194: Survey of Entrepreneurship we had a group project we worked on all semester in which we created a business and...
Writing Workshops
Apr. 29, 2012—On Mondays from 3:10-6pm this semester, I had class. One class. And though a nearly 3 hour class might sound horrific, mine really wasn't. That's because this class was a writing workshop.
