The Town
Jan. 29, 2011—Every month, Vanderbilt Student Government (VSG) puts on a movie in Sarratt Cinema (located in one of our student centers).

What is Life?
Jan. 13, 2011—I am an arts and science college scholar, and so I have the privilege to take honors seminars.

Applications, Applications, Applications
Dec. 3, 2010—For the past two weeks, I’ve been doing applications for law schools and economics schools. My dream is to be able to do both and end up as a professor, whose specialty is economics and law; with these degrees, I’d also be a very powerful public policy consultant. I just finished my batch of law...

Bluebird Cafe is a legendary place where multitudes of popular songs have been birthed. It’s one of Nashville’s best known attractions. The song writers that perform there are absolutely amazing! At 5:45pm, we boarded our...
Getting Involved with Psalm 23rd Prison Ministry
Nov. 9, 2010—A divine encounter happened 2 months ago. I visited Belmont Church with my friend Martha for a Saturday night church service. Afterwards, a few members of the church greeted us.

What’s Your Green Dot?
Sep. 15, 2010—This past Monday, I went to a talk by Dr. Dorothy Edwards concerning the start of the Green Dots Campaign at Vanderbilt.

Green Dot is about culture change – harnessing the power of individual...
Alas, Senior Year
Sep. 8, 2010—Alas, it’s senior year. So strange… It’s so strange to ruminate on what was, what is, and what will be. You look at the people you stayed close to, and the ones who have drifted away. You start asking yourself where the time went and wonder if it could get any better than this. So...
