Fall 2016: A few of my favorite things
Dec. 2, 2016—1. First (full) football game. It’s shameful I know, but this semester I attended my first full football against South Carolina, and I had so much fun cheering on fellow Commodores in the opening game of the season! We lost, but it was still very enjoyable, and I got funnel cake :) 2. Class of...
Favorite Off Campus Study Breaks
Dec. 1, 2016—With my second fall semester winding down, I should be studying for finals, but all I can think about is Christmas Break! I’ve only been back from Thanksgiving for a week, and I’m already overwhelmed by the end of semester assignments and finals prep. Some days, the best thing for my sanity is to take...
Diwali 2016
Nov. 23, 2016— On 12th November, the South Asian Cultural Exchange (SACE) organized the biggest student-run multicultural performance on campus, Diwali.

Gift-Giving at Vandy
Nov. 21, 2016—‘Tis Holiday Season on campus and the festivities have begun! I love everything about this time of year, but gift giving is definitely my favorite part.

Nov. 21, 2016—Since my phone is dead so often, GroupMe and email are my primary forms of communication. I’m 90% sure that everything in my life could be reduced into GroupMe, and actually, looking over this post now, I think that it has. (If you have further questions on the things mentioned here, check out the relevant...
University Catholic: Prayer Group (Bible Study) Edition!
Nov. 21, 2016—Why a bible study, though? Especially to freshman me, who had been to youth group exactly once and never really read the bible, “bible study” sounded scary. Like we were translating Greek or something. Seriously, scary stuff. For some reason, the two words also sounded like a huge commitment. Maybe it was the student part of me reacting at the word “study,” but I really didn’t like the sound of that word. Enter “prayer group.” (Shoutout to Phi Lamb :) thanks, y’all :)).
Why I Love Seeing so Many Vanderbilt Students on my Flight Home
Nov. 21, 2016—Every time I fly home from school for a vacation, I see so many Vanderbilt students both in the airport and, more specifically, on my flight! And this is so much fun.
