Standing in the reference aisle of Border’s yesterday I found myself both overwhelmed and amused with the plethora of admissions advice displayed on the shelves. One book, in particular, jumped out at me, the subtitle was “What College Admissions Officers Don’t Want You to Know”. As I flipped through the chapters I found absolutely nothing...

Thing # 114 that I love about Nashville is having a great NFL franchise in our backyard. And this year has been crazy for Titans fans. After last years’ #1 seed in the playoffs and heartbreaking loss to the Ravens (the refs clearly missed a safety that would have won us the game but I...

Life in Nashville

It’s a quiet Friday morning on The Commons

Hot Chicken and Data Days

Nashville has plenty of culinary choices. But there is one type of food which is distinctive to Music City: Hot Chicken. Hot Chicken is southern-style pan-fried chicken cooked in a cast-iron skillet. There is, however, one twist. The chicken is breaded in a super-secret blend of spices which give the chicken its…hot. And trust me,...

Super Mega Hella-Blizzard 2009

A blizzard of another kind is winding down at 2305 West End Ave at the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.

Answer: Jalapeno Poppers, Kentuckiana, and Existentialism

Question: What are you left with after 12 hours of driving across the Greater Midwest with OUAer Brad Weiner?
