Farm to Fork!
Sep. 28, 2011—Last night, I had the best meal ever of the year at the second annual Farm to Fork Dinner, which was held on Peabody Lawn. This event celebrated local Nashville farmers and Vanderbilt’s effort to support small businesses in the dining industry. It was awesome!
My Sister Visits Vandy!

Free Pizza for Everyone!
Sep. 23, 2011—I am currently sitting on a couch outside of Rand anxiously awaiting free pizza. At 12 noon, CityVU is hosting the Nashville Pizza Challenge. This event, held once a year, is a chance for Vanderbilt students to decide which pizza is the best in Nashville.

But what I have decided is to major in Human and Organizational Development, in the Leadership track, and double minor in Spanish and Political Science. I transferred to Peabody College last semester, from the College of Arts and Science, so I...
Dining Traditions
Aug. 23, 2011—My family has a special tradition, that on Sunday nights, we all cook together as a family. We spend a lot of time picking recipes out of our Cooking Light magazines and cookbooks, and make a huge grocery list. It usually takes us about 2 hours to cook, and then we finally eat, and boy,...
Impressions of Zanzibar
Aug. 6, 2011—Zanzibari culture was incredibly different from American culture. To some extent it had to do with the fact that their society is much more conservative, dominated by Islam, but also involved just a different outlook on life.
The Beauty of Finals Week
