January, 2014
Faith in Art
Jan. 31, 2014—One of the greatest debates I had with myself when I got in was about how religious this university is, and whether it will be awkward not to be religious on campus. Vanderbilt is a secular university, not affiliated with any religion or denomination. On campus, we have complete freedom to participate in any religious...
Hospital Volunteering
Jan. 31, 2014—Since the end of the last semester, I started volunteering at the Emergency Room in the Vanderbilt Adult Hospital. With Vanderbilt University being affiliated with a hospital so close by, it gives students looking into the medical field an opportunity to look at exactly what they are getting themselves into. Whether this be through shadowing,...
The Final 100 Days
Jan. 31, 2014—Well, just like that, January is just about over, and, today marks only 100 days left until graduation. I am in denial, and I would say that most of my friends are right there with me. In honor (mourning) of this special day, the Senior Class Fund, held an entire week of festivities, culminating in...
Winternship
Jan. 29, 2014—Winternship is not the summation of win and internship, but rather WINTER and internship. Winter in Chicago is not for the faint of heart, and they really weren’t kidding when they nicknamed this place the Windy City. The big question I have been getting recently is, “Why, again, did you decide to move to Chicago during the coldest season of the year?” They smirk. I stare at them blankly. I DON’T KNOW.
Here We Go!
Jan. 26, 2014—Three weeks into my last semester of classes at Vanderbilt, and I am finally getting into the swing of things!
Blair Audition Day!
Jan. 24, 2014—I just came back from my Friday class at Blair, and the school is crowded with musicians today. Today is the first day for auditions for the Blair class of 2018. I can already tell that it is going to be a great class. There were people playing music everywhere, in the hallways, stairwell and...
The Chosen One
Jan. 21, 2014—On the 17th of January 2014, Vanderbilt Football named Derek Mason as the 28th Head Coach of Vanderbilt Football. With this hire, Vanderbilt started the Mason era and the campus is buzzing with high hopes and lifted spirit.
Hey, guess what’s great? Semester eight!
Jan. 19, 2014—It only took two weeks for me to remember I had a whole lot of blogging to do. And of course, I can't miss out on my very last classic semester preview post. Yes, that's right dear readers. I am already two weeks into my final semester of my undergraduate career. I am in a constant fight with panic and hyperventilation.
Surprise in Music Literature class
Jan. 18, 2014—After a long day I got to listen to a wonderful band in my American Popular Music class.
Blair Salon Series: Singer-Songwriter Night
Jan. 18, 2014—This is my second time attending the Blair Salon Series at Dean Wcislo’s House. This particular Friday night was just as wonderful, and perhaps even better, than last time. When I attended in October last semester, the theme of the evening was “fairy tales,” including a piece from the musical “Into the Woods.” Tonight’s theme...
