Rocko’s Modern Life
Dec. 17, 2013—Now that I’m home for break, I decided that it is a prime opportunity to tell you about my family’s current guide dog-in-training, Rocko. The last time my family trained a guide dog through Guide Dogs of America, my sister and I were both in Nashville when they picked her up (AKA when she was...
Airport Adventures: Nashville to Home
Dec. 15, 2013—The process of going home for winter break is not as simple as you might think (for me, at least). It generally involves at least three hours of staring at my room, willing my clothes to pack themselves, before putting things in a suitcase actually begins.
Why I Love Finals
Dec. 15, 2013—While finals may be the most stressful time of the semester in some respects, it is also one of my favorite times of the semester. No, I'm not insane--I don't relish the time I spend panicking about looming exams and papers, but it's nice because all meetings and classes have ceased, and you have time to just focus on studying--and more often than not, there's a little bit of extra time left over to do fun things with your friends.
Midnight Movie Time
Dec. 14, 2013—I won't hesitate to admit that I am not the biggest Lord of the Rings fan. I know, your jaw just dropped. This didn't keep me from going to the midnight premiere of the second Hobbit movie last night.
Talks on Talks on Talks
Dec. 14, 2013—One of the best things about going to Vanderbilt is the abundance of talks and panels that are happening on campus every day on an endless lists of topics. There is always a lecture to be attended if you just look for it.
Final Project Frenzy
Dec. 12, 2013—As of two hours ago, I am officially done with the first semester of my senior year. (That right there is a scary sentence.) This semester, I only had one actual final, which translates to a lot of final projects.
LET IT SNOW
Dec. 10, 2013—After five hours spent in the library working on a research paper, I emerged into the night with my spirits low and in desperate need of caffeine to get me through the next ten pages. I was met by a beautiful sight: snow. And lots of it!
Full Moon Pickin’ Party
Dec. 7, 2013—As part of our summer/senior year bucket list, Victoria and I really wanted to go to the Full Moon Pickin' Party--a monthly fundraising event throughout the summer and fall each year that raises money for the Warner Parks in Nashville.
#VUthankful
Nov. 29, 2013—A couple of weeks ago, the fearless leaders of Inside ‘Dores asked us to tweet, Instagram, etc. what we’re thankful for and use the hashtag #VUthankful. While sadly I did not quite accomplish this before Thanksgiving was over, I’d like to take this opportunity (much as Eileen and Victoria did) to show you some Instagrams...
The Last Nationals
Nov. 28, 2013—Being on the club soccer team has been a huge part of my time at Vanderbilt. Heading into the national tournament last week, I was acutely aware that it would be the last time I traveled with my team to Phoenix--you could say I was pretty emotional. I had a wish of winning the national title, but that wish did not come true the way I wanted it to--but not for the reason you might think.
