Home for the Holidays
Dec. 14, 2012—I am so happy to be writing to you from chilly Chicagoland as I am home! Today, I've already eaten my favorite foods and decorated Christmas cookies with my sister. It was a little weird to see houses decorated for Christmas as I forgot that was a thing. I cannot believe that this semester is already over and I am 3/8 of the way done with college! It is flying!
WO Smith Music School
Dec. 14, 2012—One of the things that I wanted to keep up in college was playing the flute. I considered joining an orchestra or band for credit, but it was too big of a time commitment for me. However, I wanted to keep playing the flute as it had been such a big part of my life for over 10 years. That was when I heard about the WO Smith Music School.

Nail Parties
Dec. 3, 2012—After a long week of work, my friends and I love to have nail parties in my room.

My roommate, Sophie, is quite the nail artist, and everyone will pick out designs for her to paint.

Nov. 25, 2012—It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving Break is already over. A week away from Vandy has certainly been relaxing, but I am happy to be back.
Missouri Loves Company
Nov. 23, 2012—The weekend before break I made the 7.5 hour drive to Columbia, Missouri for an ultimate frisbee tournament. The tournament was even more fun because both the men's and the women's teams went to compete.
Flag Football Championships
Nov. 14, 2012—My roommate, Sophie, played flag football in high school and this year decided to make an intramural flag football team. She needed extra girls, so I volunteered to join and it has been so much fun!
