And we’re off!
Aug. 29, 2013—School is back and off to a fast start with classes, law school applications, LSAT studying, and meetings! How do we survive the stress? A little help from some professionals, and of course the VANDY FOOTBALL HOME OPENER!
The Dorm Life
Aug. 27, 2013—This year, I upgraded. Just like the Tennessee Titans upgraded their offensive line (Super Bowl here we come), I got to upgrade my dorm experience. I moved from a “Harry-Potter-Under-The-Stairs” single to a big and fancy four person suite aka prime real estate. For the rest of the year, I will be living in Morgan...
The 5 Reasons You Don’t Really Need a Car at Vandy
Aug. 26, 2013—The fall semester of 2013 means lots of "firsts" for me: my first job on campus, my first time living in a 4-person suite, and my first time bringing the good ol' Orland mini-van to campus. While having access to non-bus and non-cab transportation has been a luxury, having a car at Vandy is definitely something I could comfortably live without. The "swagger wagon", if you will, is a nice-to-have, but not a must-have.
A Suite Sweaty Saturday
Aug. 25, 2013—While I will admit I was longing for the higher temperatures of the south while in Chicago, that desire is long gone. For the first Saturday, my suite and some friends decided to go on an early morning hike to avoid the heat. Plus I got to play some ultimate frisbee for the first time in a while since we had an informal hat tournament!
Senior Year- A Different Schedule
Aug. 25, 2013—I cannot believe that this is my last fall at Vanderbilt. Between football games, Homecoming week the opening of Alumni Hall, this semester is sure to fly by. Because I am a senior, my schedule is a weird mix of classes that I need to complete my major and AXLE. Thus, although the timing of...

Aug. 23, 2013—Have you wrangled a wildebeest with your bare hands? Did you live to tell the tale? If so, you might just be what we're looking for!
New Year, New Semester
Aug. 22, 2013—The Fall Semester of 2013 has begun. I am now officially a Junior in college and have passed the half-way point of my college career. Here is a preview of my junior year schedule. This semester, I decided to take 19 hours per week, one hour more than the standard 18 hours. These classes are:...
Guest Blog: In a Nutshell
Aug. 21, 2013—College. With impeccable timing it conveniently crashes down onto our lives, leaving us in desperate search for the chips of our identity and the task of piecing them back together again. After packing up all of our belongings we begin triple checking our list to make sure we have all of the essentials: shower shoes, No. 14 pencils to last a lifetime, and enough Target dorm décor which we hope can transform a 10x10 room into a rough version of the Pottery Barn catalog.
Kids, Let’s Go to the Symphony!
Aug. 21, 2013—As a cellist at Blair, I get geekily giddy about the Nashville Symphony’s upcoming concert season. As a poor college student, I am sorely short in trying the funds to buy tickets. A huge “however” is in order though, because the Nashville Symphony has a program called SoundCheck for classical music loving students like me and you to be able to soak in some fantastic orchestral performances and bask in all the grandeur of the Schermerhorn Hall!
