Thoughts on Vandy, while abroad…
Apr. 17, 2012—When you first get to Vanderbilt, you make new friends and all the while you’re still sending your friends from high school random text messages and trying to Skype them as much as possible…and while this changes to some extent for everyone, the real shocker is when you realize that over vacations (or maybe while...

Apr. 16, 2012—Last night one of the organizations I am a part of, Vanderbilt University Concert Choir, had our annual spring banquet. For our banquet we drive to Joelton, TN, which is about 35 minutes away from campus, to Shadowbrook retreat center.

The Final Countdown
Apr. 15, 2012—It's that time of year, blog-readers. Everything is spiraling into a just-barely-manageable madness. Every club I'm part of leadership for has events to help coordinate, final speeches and essays are due, and actual finals are just around the corner. Meanwhile, I'm trying to enjoy the time I have left with friends here in Nashville (particularly the soon-to-graduate seniors) and enjoy my final weeks here before I return home for the summer.
Close to Nature
Apr. 15, 2012—Last weekend, I went home for Easter weekend in order to spend the holiday with my parents. However, I brought two friends along so that they could experience the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
The Liar: A VUT Production
Apr. 13, 2012—Last night in order to celebrate the end of a rough academic week, I along with a few of my friends went to see “The Liar” which is the Vanderbilt University Theater’s latest production. VUT shows are always amazing, and this one was no different! “The Liar” tells the story of Daronte, a man in...
The Stegemans Reunite! Things to See and Do in Nashville
Apr. 12, 2012—My family came to visit last weekend!! It was a bit of an impromptu visit, but I haven’t seen my family since Spring Break, so I was missing them dearly. AND, they haven’t been back to Nashville since move-in day, so this was a momentous occasion indeed! Over the months I have compiled a basic...
