Honor Council
Mar. 14, 2011—Sorry about the small hiatus. The past two weeks have flown. Between midterms and spring break, I totally forgot to blog! Over spring break, I got an email from my chemistry professor letting me know that I was going to be contacted by the honor council. Vanderbilt’s Undergraduate Honor Council “was formed to help enforce...
ASB in New Hampshire
Mar. 14, 2011—Alternative Spring Break (ASB) at Vanderbilt University was the first program of its kind and was established by Vanderbilt students in 1987 and today is one of the most popular service organizations on campus. I would definitely recommend that every Vanderbilt student participate in ASB at least once before the graduate. It can truly be...
Just the Break I Needed
Mar. 12, 2011—When I said goodbye to my friends last Friday, I knew we’d all come back with good stories from our spring break adventures. A bunch of my friends went on ASB (Alternative Spring Break) and travelled to random parts of the country to participate in community service, while another went to the mountains of North...
Class helped me meet a celebrity…
Mar. 10, 2011—Piggybacking off of what fellow blogger Lindsey Rothrock talked about in her post “Homework: Go to a Concert”, I have been in three music classes (American Music, African Music, and Blues) where I have had to attend concerts and write small papers on them. These active assignments encourage students to explore Nashville for what it...
Eenie Meenie Minie Moe- Where for Spring Break Should I Go?
Mar. 7, 2011—Its that time of year again. The weather is getting to be consistently nice out, the sandals have resurfaced from the depths of the closet. Its spring break, an integral part of everyone’s college experience, a time of myth to most high school students day dreaming about what college will be like once they get...
Welcome To Midterms
Mar. 6, 2011—My schedule this week? You don’t even want to know. I’ll tell you anyways. <–My planner……this week was horrible. On Monday, I had 3 classes- Philosophy 105 (Ethics…currently reading Immanuel Kant’s Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals), Spanish 203 (Spanish Literature-just finished reading La Casa de Bernarda Alba, for all you spanish literature junkies out...
Late Night Study Sessions
Mar. 3, 2011—This week is the last week before Spring Break! Of course, you know what that means. Professors have decided to cram as many tests, papers, and homework assignments into these last few days as possible. Nearly everyone I know is losing their mind, cramming in those last tidbits of information. I guess this will make...
Super Cool
Mar. 2, 2011—The diversity and accessibility of great minds at Vanderbilt never ceases to amaze me. In a Computer Science class (CS 103: Intro to Programming for Engineers) this Monday, Professor Akos Ledeczi casually mentioned a project he works on at Vanderbilt’s Institute for Software Integrated Systems.
I Did What? Kairos Global Summit Blows My Mind.
Mar. 2, 2011—It is really amazing what opportunities you are afforded while attending a top tier university. I say this because of the weekend I just experienced. In short, I attended the Kairos Society Global Summit in NYC, so let me explain how I got this chance, and of course what that means.
The Green Wagon
Mar. 2, 2011—Last Wednesday, I had the opportunity to go to east Nashville with the members of my commons seminar. The seminar I’m taking this semester is called “Exploring Creative Lives”, and we’ve been discussing creativity and how it plays out into the lifestyles of people and here at Vanderbilt.
