Farm to Fork Dinner
Sep. 26, 2012—I had been raving about the annual Farm to Fork dinner to my friends, checking the Common Place website since the beginning of the year to make sure I didn't miss the RSVP and badgering them all to sign up for this no-caloric-regrets-because-it-is-just-that-good meal.
Getaway for a Day
Sep. 25, 2012—This time of the semester is stressful. This coming week I have two papers, a test, a quiz and a whole host of miscellaneous tasks for group projects and extra curriculars. That’s why I was so glad this past weekend to get off campus for a few days for a BCM retreat at Deer Run...
A Saturday of Service
Sep. 25, 2012—This past weekend, I volunteered at the Second Harvest Food Bank sorting meat in a giant refrigerator.
I’ve Got The Victory!
Sep. 24, 2012—This was our first road trip since I've been in Victory and I definitely want to do it again. We were invited to sing at an alumnus' church so we took the 6-hour drive there and back for less than 24 hours in Cincinnati...
Race in Review: Part Two
Sep. 24, 2012—As Victoria said in part one of Race in Review, last Saturday we took on Challenge Nation. Going into the race, I was a firm believer of the "just have fun" attitude--my goal was to finish the race, and to have fun doing it.
Race in Review
Sep. 24, 2012—Have you ever seen the Amazing Race? This past weekend, we got the opportunity to live the experience by participating in an urban scavenger hunt called Challenge Nation around the city of Nashville.
Habitat for Humanity Builds
Sep. 24, 2012—One of the student organizations I have become passionate about during my time at Vanderbilt is Habitat for Humanity. I went from being on the Junior Exec Board to becoming a fundraising chair and running the Commodore Trot 5k for two years, to finally becoming one of the co-presidents. It may not be your favorite...
A Beautiful Day at Centennial Park
Sep. 23, 2012—This weekend, I finally got the chance to check out the Musician's Corner free concert series. It turned out to be a beautiful day weather-wise and it was great to sit back and listen to music along with getting food from some of Nashville's food trucks.
TIMAV: Dismas House
Sep. 22, 2012—I know I’ve written before about my weekly outings to Dismas House, but I thought you all could use a reminder about this great service opportunity so near to campus. It’s definitely my favorite extracurricular activity, other than telling you all about my life through this blog. I also really missed it while abroad.
This Week’s Funtivities
Sep. 21, 2012—This week, I decided that every day I would take a small study break and enjoy something uniquely offered at Vanderbilt. I'm going to be honest and say that I thought it would be difficult to find fun things to do every day. Is there really a Vanderbilt sponsored activity that I could enjoy every day? There is! And, if I were a betting girl, I'd bet that there would be everyday funtivities for you too!
