Easter “Family” Dinner
Apr. 25, 2011—Yesterday was Easter, and because most of us will be leaving Vandy in a week or so, not many people went home for the holiday. That’s not to say we didn’t take a break from studying and spend it with loved ones, though.
The Joy of Visitors!
Apr. 24, 2011—One of my favorite parts of college is having friends and family visit and being able to show them around! This past week, my uncle came to visit and I was able to give him an unofficial tour of Vanderbilt, as well as go to an Indian restaurant I hadn’t tried out yet called Bombay...
Upper Quad Pig Roast
Apr. 24, 2011—Stambaugh House RA Nick Hall is from Memphis, Tennesse. His dad happens to be a professional pig-roaster. To celebrate the end of the year, Nick’s Dad drove down from Memphis with his grill and spent Friday night in his truck cooking a 104-pound pig!
Passover at Vanderbilt
Apr. 21, 2011—Because finals are rapidly approaching (as in, my first one is one week from today), and Passover fell during the week, I was unable to go home to celebrate with my family. I was nervous that my first Passover away from home would be lonely and sad. I was even more afraid that I would...
Rites of Spring
Apr. 18, 2011—This past weekend was Rites of Spring. “What is Rites of Spring?” you may ask. Only the biggest, funnest (look it up, it’s in the dictionary now) concert held at Vanderbilt each year. It lasts for two days and features multiple artists of different genres.
Last Bash!
Apr. 17, 2011—Last Thursday night, AOII had our Last Bash party to say goodbye to the seniors (I realize I’ve blogged about two of the three parties we’ve had this semester which might give you guys the wrong impression, but I promise we’re about a lot more than that. We have our big philanthropy event this Wednesday!).
Apply to Become an Inside ‘Dore Blogger!
Apr. 17, 2011—If you read our blogs and love them, and live vicariously through them, then know that you also love Inside ‘Dores Bloggers. And if you go to Vandy, or are coming here in the fall, or you are thinking about applying to Vanderbilt…you probably should consider becoming an Inside ‘Dores Blogger yourself.
LeCrae & Rock City!
Apr. 15, 2011—Last Friday, I went to go see LeCrae, a Christian rapper, at a Rockettown. LeCrae has had an amazing past. He grew up in a very poor community and used to live with what he calls “selfish ambition” (quoted from his concert). He now is a very successful music artist and inspires millions with his...
A Night to Honor Israel
Apr. 14, 2011—Earlier this week I attended an event called “A Night to Honor Israel.” Truthfully, the main reason that I went was to support one of my long time friends, Carver Morgan. He is an amazing person and since I met him almost 10 years ago in the mountains of North Carolina I have always admired...
Just Another Vandy Weekend
Apr. 12, 2011—Weekends at Vanderbilt are never short of things to do, and this weekend was no exception. On Friday night, I went with some friends to an ice rink in Franklin to play broomball with a group from Rolling Hills Community Church. I had gone last semester, and it was so much fun, so I was...
