New Year, New Classes!
Jan. 6, 2017—Although I wish I were a freshman again and had four more years at Vanderbilt, there are some perks to getting older and being closer to the dreaded “G” word (a.k.a graduation!). I always look forward to registering for classes and planning my schedule for the next semester, and being a junior, I got all...
University Catholic: Prayer Group (Bible Study) Edition!
Nov. 21, 2016—Why a bible study, though? Especially to freshman me, who had been to youth group exactly once and never really read the bible, “bible study” sounded scary.

What I’m Looking Forward To
Nov. 17, 2015—It’s been a little while since my last blog post. I’m still recovering from a killer week with two big exams and a research paper, but I figured I should write something before finals approach. Oh boy. Don’t want to start thinking about that. The semester is gradually winding to a close. I just had...
“Yo Zeppos” – An Evening with the Chancellor
Nov. 8, 2015—As we get closer and closer to the end of this semester, the Vanderbilt Visions program is coming to a close as well. Visions is a great way to bring people from different backgrounds, who might not have met each other on their own, together. My VUceptors, Bill and Melissa, are so supportive and welcoming,...
