My Favorite Semester
Dec. 19, 2011—Time flies. It seems like just yesterday that I was packing my stuff and heading to Nashville to begin my second year. Today, I am sitting in the beautiful Miami sun (sorry to brag) relaxing after my most amazing (and most challenging) semester at Vanderbilt.
Favorites of Fall 2011
Dec. 8, 2011—To shake things up a bit, I wanted to give other non-blogging Vanderbilt students the chance to get a few words in. As we finish the Fall 2011 semester, we are excited for the coming of Winter Break, the ability to sleep in, watch TV, and hang out more than is possible while school is...
The Climbing Wall at Vandy
Dec. 5, 2011—A real cool feature of Vanderbilt’s that is becoming more popular across the nation is the climbing wall available at the Student Recreation Center that is available to all members of the Rec Center (that means students!) for FREE when the wall is open.
Sunday Funday
Dec. 5, 2011—Yesterday was such a great day filled with on-campus activities. Currently counting down to final exam week, I decided that yesterday was going to be a day of fun, friends, and minimal studying (I may pay for that last part later).
Student Nights at Climb Nashville
Nov. 29, 2011—Climb Nashville is a local climbing gym located about 2 miles from campus. It is a fun place to go hang out with friends, experience something new, and potentially find a new hobby! I started off, as many did, climbing during Student Nights at Climb Nashville…and now here I am, as many are, addicted to...
Habitat for Humanity: Commodore Trot 5k
Nov. 26, 2011—Vanderbilt’s Habitat for Humanity chapter annually hosts a 5k (3.1 miles) run/walk fundraiser called the Commodore Trot. All proceeds from the race go to benefit the chapter’s build fund, which will be used to sponsor a Habitat house under Vanderbilt’s name.
Vanderbilt-Oregon St. Basketball Game
Nov. 23, 2011—Although watching Vanderbilt football improve tremendously this year has been awesome, I love nothing more than watching Vanderbilt men’s basketball games. This past Monday, Vanderbilt won an exciting game against a tricky Oregon State team 64-62 on a last second shot by Brad Tinsley to win the TicketCity Legends Classic at Izod Center in Rutherford,...
Football Time in Tennessee
Nov. 20, 2011—As you might remember, I’m from Knoxville, TN. When I realized the Vanderbilt/University of Tennessee football game was the first Saturday of Thanksgiving Break, I knew I had to go.
Oh, those Blue Ridge Mountains
Nov. 20, 2011—10/10/11: For the past 3 days, I’ve essentially been my own pack mule, hauling my food, shelter, and clothing up and down the Blue Ridge Mountains. And oh! What a great 3 days it was!
Vanderbilt Wins
Nov. 6, 2011—I am finally back in Vandyland after an amazing weekend in Gainesville. My roommate and I flew into Tampa and spent the night at her house, before heading to the University of Florida to watch our Commodores take on the Florida Gators. Even though our football team couldn’t come home with a win, I came...
