Melodores at TPAC!
Feb. 17, 2011—After a rough start to my morning, (I slept through my alarm and missed a test…guess there’s a first time for everything), things started to shape up. I got in touch with my professor and he was more than happy to let me come in a make it up! I woke up and realized that...
No Phone…
Feb. 17, 2011—This past weekend, my phone finally gave in and broke. This is a chronic problem at colleges across the nation- some of my friends have gone through five or more phones in one semester! Nevertheless, this was my third phone since eighth grade, and I had had it for a year and a half, so...
To Infinity and Beyond – A Mathematical Adventure
Feb. 16, 2011—Last week was one of the unfortunate midterm weeks during which every professor, out of a desire to “not schedule your tests during other midterms,” schedules tests for the same days. After this hellish experience, which was coupled with a rather physically strenuous weekend, I decided to unwind by attending one of the coolest events...
Emory Law Woodruff Scholars Finalist Weekend
Feb. 16, 2011—This past weekend, I went to the Emory Law Woodruff Scholars Finalist Weekend. Earlier this year, I had applied to Emory Law School and had applied to the Woodruff Fellows Scholarship: ” In 1980, Emory University established the Robert W. Woodruff Scholars and Fellows Program to recruit and reward students with exceptional character, scholastic abilities...
Valentine’s Day
Feb. 15, 2011—Yesterday was Valentine’s Day and despite its unfortunate nickname of Singles Awareness Day, it was a really fun day for me and my fellow single friends! In my mind, Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be solely about romantic love, but rather spending time with anyone you love, whether friends or family.
Vanderbilt Kentucky Basketball Game
Feb. 14, 2011—What were you doing Thursday night? Surely you weren’t as cold as some Vanderbilt students were who decided to take a camping trip. Shortly after Vanderbilt’s victory over Alabama on Thursday night, a few students started setting up tents in preparation for arguably one of the most important games of the Vanderbilt season; the Kentucky...
Family
Feb. 14, 2011—There comes a time in every college student’s life when they realize that they have a person or group of people that makes them feel completely at home. This could be a roommate, a friend group, an extracurricular organization, a professor, or even a particularly friendly janitor. For me, it’s the Original Cast.
A Joyride Around Nashville..Keeps a Long-Distance Relationship Strong
Feb. 14, 2011—As a last hurrah of the weekend, despite the climbing gas prices, my girlfriend (who flew in for a visit this weekend!) and I took a ride around town to see some sights and to take advantage of the beautiful weather. Thanks to my sophomore G-lot parking permit, I only had to cross the street...
Nashvegas
Feb. 13, 2011—Downtown Nashville is famous for it’s neon lights, live music, crazy bachelorettes and quirky regulars. Vanderbilt is located 1.3 miles uptown (aka a four minute cab ride) from this legendary strip of southern goodness. This past Saturday night, my friends and I decided that it was time for a taste of good ol’ Nashvegas.
