Oct. 23, 2012—Today, in Rhetoric of the American Experience 1865-1945, we had a guest lecturer. Professor J.

A Taste of Home
Oct. 21, 2012—This weekend, my best friend from home visited me at school! She goes to Tulane University, so the trip was a 90-minute direct flight. Here is a recap of our weekend!
Adopted for Family Weekend
Oct. 17, 2012—Last weekend, I went home to spend fall break with my family. This weekend was Vanderbilt Family Weekend, and because I have three exams this week and I just saw my family, they decided to forego parents weekend this year. I do love when my parents visit me here at school, but this year it just wasn't going to work out. I hope that you aren't feeling sorry for me, though. This weekend I was adopted by my friends' families.

Vanderbilt Football WINS on the Road

Volunteer Research
Oct. 1, 2012—This semester, because I don’t have labs as co-requisites for my classes, I decided to start volunteering in a medical research lab on campus. I decided that I wanted to conduct research in gastroenterology because I have never really had any experience in this field and I thought that it would be fun to try...
Hiking and the School Play
Sep. 30, 2012—Yesterday, I went for a lovely hike at Radnor Lake and then came back to campus to see VUT's production of Dead Man's Cell Phone.
This Week’s Funtivities
Sep. 21, 2012—This week, I decided that every day I would take a small study break and enjoy something uniquely offered at Vanderbilt. I'm going to be honest and say that I thought it would be difficult to find fun things to do every day. Is there really a Vanderbilt sponsored activity that I could enjoy every day? There is! And, if I were a betting girl, I'd bet that there would be everyday funtivities for you too!
