Preparing for Spring Break
Feb. 23, 2013—A week from today, I will be on a plane on my way to Los Angeles for my spring break vacation.
Admitted Admissions Advertisement
Feb. 22, 2013—Last week, Samantha and I braved a journey filled with questioning glances, outright staring, and much laughter as we traversed across campus accompanied by our fondly inanimate friends, the swivel chairs. How did such a bizarre occurrence come about?
Big/Little Reveal!!
Feb. 22, 2013—So for those who know nothing about Greek Life (don't worry, that was me a year ago) every sorority has Bigs and Littles. Basically, every new member is a Little and gets a Big, who is someone a year older than them to show them the ropes and hang with a ton. You also then join a family with a Grandbig (like Eileen). As a new member, I was so excited to get a Big.
Getting Domestic
Feb. 21, 2013—This week, I actually had two midterms. They were in my easier classes, so I had some free time, but I was feeling a little anxious. I decided it was time to bake. At home, I cook and bake almost every day. I absolutely love it. But, while at school because I don't have a kitchen of my own, I often forget to do what I love. This week, I was determined to relieve some stress and remember to do what I love.
The Commons Experience
Feb. 20, 2013—*Guest blog by new friend and hip-hop enthusiast Tom Majerus When I first arrived at Vanderbilt, I was struck by two things: how everyone seemed nervous and how everyone seemed eager. These seem to be the best two emotions to describe the first two weeks of college. I made friends faster than I ever had in my life, and every day I had new challenges facing me. This was my favorite aspect of living on The Commons, Vanderbilt’s freshmen living community; everyone experiences the same new things together.
Snowballs in the Amphitheater!
Feb. 19, 2013—What do you do when you're in an ancient Roman amphitheater covered in snow? Snowball fight of course!
Wobbling and Gangnam-ing for a Cause
Feb. 19, 2013—16 hours of standing later, I have survived Vanderbilt Dance Marathon 2013! Whew. Here's the scoop on the 13.1 hour dance party that had Vandy students juking and jiving to raise money for the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt.
Busy Busy Busy
Feb. 18, 2013—I haven't had much time to blog lately because I've been so busy with class and activities. Here's a peak into what I've been up to.
Big/Little Reveal
Feb. 18, 2013—As I walked through Rand last Wednesday, I made sure to grab multiple copies of The Hustler and The Slant, even though I’d already read both (and completed the crossword). I stocked up on scotch tape and bundled up for the cold as I waited for my Big to pick me up from Towers. It was time for Big/Little Reveal 2013!
