Fish Heads and Floods
Jun. 28, 2011—In my last post, I said I would be spending a month in Zanzibar, Tanzania teaching English and other things. I got back from this amazing trip in the middle of June, and can’t wait to tell you all about it. For the geography impaired (me), Tanzania is on the east coast of Africa, under the...
Summer Plans
May. 6, 2011—As the school year draws to a close and summer gets ready to start, I’m looking forward to my summer plans. While I’ll be spending most of the summer in St. Louis working as a tour guide at the St. Louis Gateway Arch (come and visit me!), I’m especially excited for my upcoming trip to...
Taps & Tapas
May. 4, 2011—My favorite dinner spot around campus is definitely Hillsboro Village. There are a bunch of restaurants, ranging from McDougal’s (Chicken strips) to Zumi (sushi), Fido (American food in a hipster atmosphere) to Provence (sandwiches, soups, and delicious desserts). This past weekend, I took a Finals Study Break and ventured into one of the newer restaurants,...
Juggleville
Apr. 4, 2011—Last weekend, I went to see Juggleville at Langford Auditorium here on campus. A bunch of my friends were performing as members of JPAC (the Juggling and Performing Arts Club on campus). The show was incredible and was so much fun to watch.
Springtime!
Mar. 23, 2011—When I was picking a college, I barely gave any thought to weather. While I hate the cold, the longest I was ever outside was when I walked from my parking spot into my high school. I figured college would be the same, but, with my parents’ urging, I thought a little more about location...
Late Night Study Sessions
Mar. 3, 2011—This week is the last week before Spring Break! Of course, you know what that means. Professors have decided to cram as many tests, papers, and homework assignments into these last few days as possible. Nearly everyone I know is losing their mind, cramming in those last tidbits of information. I guess this will make...
The Nashville Intercollegiate Activism Conference
Feb. 21, 2011—Last Thursday, the Vanderbilt Political Review (VPR) hosted the Nashville Intercollegiate Activism Conference (NIAC). Being the treasurer for VPR, I was somewhat active in putting on this conference and was really excited to see it finally happen.
Tortellini Tuesdays
Feb. 8, 2011—Much like Morgan in her post about Grins, I was really worried about food when choosing college. See, my mom makes the most delicious homemade dinner every night, so it was daunting to find a school that had food half as good as home. There are tons of delicious places to eat on campus, and...
Fridays at Dismas
Feb. 1, 2011—Friday nights I go to the Dismas House. I know what you’re thinking – don’t you have fun on the weekends? Well, yes I do. I really do.
