Catching Grenades with Bruno Mars Between Midterms and I’m Michael Cera with a Speech Impediment?
Feb. 28, 2011—This past week kicked off the mid-semester phenomenon, that which we call midterms. Nobody likes studying (or do they?).. but if you do it creatively, you can definitely make it a bit more fun. Some study in groups, some study with music. A few friends and I had theory and music history listening sessions where...
Spring Awakening
Feb. 27, 2011—This past weekend, my favorite musical was in town: Spring Awakening. Being the devoted fan I am, I saw it twice in less than 24 hours. I know that sounds a little crazy/stalker-like, so let me explain.
Good Eatin’
Feb. 26, 2011—My parents come visit to watch almost every one of my home lacrosse games. Because of the scheduling for nonstop flights from Philadelphia, they usually spend the night before in the Marriot right near campus. Lucky for me, this means indulging myself in delicious meals. Among one of my favorite places to dine is Monell’s...
Are You Ready for Some Football?
Feb. 25, 2011—Ok, so maybe I’m a little early, but I am getting excited for next football season. Wednesday night, new Head Football Coach, James Franklin, was invited to speak at Gillette Gelato. Gillette Gelato, held every Wednesday night, is a chance for the residents of Gillette to socialize with each other and their residential staff, over...
Homework: Go to a Concert
Feb. 23, 2011—I am taking an awesome class this semester! History of Rock Music. Not only is it really fun and interesting but it also counts as part of my Liberal Arts requirements. In class we talk about specific artists ranging from the 1950s to current times including Little Richard, Elvis, Otis Redding, Grateful Dead, Lynard Skynard,...
Hula, Hula, Hula!!!
Feb. 23, 2011—One of my first friends at Vanderbilt was Annalise Miyashiro (who was Panhellenic Council president 2010-2011). Annalise is Hawaiian, and I am Chinese, but neither of us are in the Asian American Student Association. Every year, the Asian American Student Association puts on Asian New Year Festival (ANYF). Although Annalise was not part of the...
The Nashville Intercollegiate Activism Conference
Feb. 21, 2011—Last Thursday, the Vanderbilt Political Review (VPR) hosted the Nashville Intercollegiate Activism Conference (NIAC). Being the treasurer for VPR, I was somewhat active in putting on this conference and was really excited to see it finally happen.
My Friend Sarah
Feb. 20, 2011—Unfortunately, I have no interesting stories about myself, so I figured I would tell you about a friend of mine.
Mammoth Cave
Feb. 18, 2011—Last weekend I took an excursion about two hours away from Vanderbilt campus to Mammoth Cave National Park. Located in Kentucky, the park contains the world’s longest known cave system that stretches over 390 miles.
“Five-year-old-habits” die hard
Feb. 18, 2011—Remember how simple life was when we were five? Wake up, go to school, play, eat lunch, tap a nap (oh, how I miss naps), eat again, play, go home, repeat. It was a simple life, an easy life, but now things are a little bit more complicated.
