Getting Involved: Commons Leadership
Feb. 6, 2015—Hey guys! If you saw my last blog post, you may remember me writing about my recent appointment as the Fifth Floor Representative for Stambaugh House. If you haven’t read it, you should. It’s here. Thanks. In today’s post, I’d like to talk a little bit more about some of the amazing opportunities available to...
Shootyhoops
Feb. 6, 2015—The other day, I found my way into Memorial Gym and witnessed some good old Memorial Magic as the Vanderbilt Commodores matched up against the Florida Gators. Traditionally, Vanderbilt has been fairly good at basketball winning the SEC Championship in 2012. Recently, our team has not been the same but a bright future appears to...
A Procrastinator’s New Year’s Resolutions
Feb. 3, 2015—Upon the realization today that Lent is just around the corner, I figured that now would be the perfect time to pull out the half-written New Year's resolutions I started back in January. Lent is usually a time when I give up a bad habit or tack on a good habit to my routine to dig deeper into my faith, and many of my resolutions deal with kicking bad habits or challenging myself to step outside of my comfort zone. Half of them are silly, but as a silly person I feel like that's fair. There's no better time than right now to make this semester the most productive, most fun semester to date.
A Dancer’s Guide to Vanderbilt
Feb. 1, 2015—One of my passions is dancing. As a little girl I learned and performed traditional Mexican folk and Spanish flamenco in my hometown of San Antonio, TX. In high school I got involved in my high school’s dance program through a dance troupe that was new to the school. Coming to Vanderbilt I knew that...
Spontaneous Snow
Jan. 30, 2015—Happy new year! Okay, so I’m a little late. I apologize for having not blogged in a while; I’ve been so busy and so many different things have happened over these first few weeks of the semester, I’ve barely had time to catch my breath. But that’s a good thing. Last semester was amazing but...
A Day on Ice
Jan. 30, 2015—Inspired by the great season that the Nashville Predators are having, I decided it was time to return to the ice skating rink and to continue my pursuit of being an Olympic Figure Skater. I found a large group of people willing to go ice-skating and so we headed off towards Centennial Sportsplex, a mere...
Animal Lovin’ at Vandy
Jan. 29, 2015—One of the hardest parts about leaving home was saying goodbye to my dogs Tommy and Sophie. Tommy is in doggie heaven right now, probably chasing squirrels. So, my golden retriever Sophie is the only sibling I have left. Needless to say, meeting her at an interval of five months is one of the downsides...
Wait, What’s a Sorority?
Jan. 28, 2015—An extended Q&A-slash-rant about everything you might want to know about sororities on campus.
Scholars and Education
Jan. 25, 2015—Before I begin talking about Education Awareness Week, let me first tell you about the Peabody Patterson Scholars: The Peabody Patterson Scholars are a group of education majors that have been awarded the Patterson Scholarship, sponsored by none other than Vanderbilt graduate and New York Times #1 Best Seller, James Patterson. In recent years, James Patterson...
Wacky Wednesdays
Jan. 23, 2015—After what usually ends up being a late night of newspaper production every Tuesday for the Hustler, I wake up on Wednesday mornings a little more tired than usual. Unfortunately for me, Wednesdays happen to be my busiest day of the week this semester, with not one, not two, not even three, but FOUR classes,...
