Finals!
Apr. 27, 2011—It’s that time of year. All college students dread it. As the weather warms, the work load builds, culminating in one week of hell (better known as finals). Although finals are incredibly stressful and intense, Vanderbilt has done some awesome things to ensure that the stress level of the overall student body is kept in...
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...
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...
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...
Froyo Addiction
Apr. 5, 2011—I am in Baseball Glove Lounge, writing my HOD 1700 Literature Review Paper, and seriously craving froyo. So, as my study break, I will give you the lowdown on the best spots around Nashville. Good use of time, right?
Dinner in the U.K.!
Mar. 27, 2011—Last Wednesday, I ate dinner in the United Kingdom…without having to leave Vanderbilt campus.
Caffeine
Mar. 25, 2011—Let’s talk caffeine. As most college students (and many high school students) can testify, caffeine, specifically in the form of coffee, is a substance akin to blood or water in its importance to student survival. This biological dependence on/addiction to caffeine intrigued my inner mathematician (double major!), so I decided to look into caffeine as...
4:30am Wake Up Calls, Chasing Boys, and Sisterly Bonding – It must be Derby Days!
Mar. 24, 2011—Every year on Vanderbilt’s campus there is a week where sleep becomes non-existent for sorority girls from the hours of 4:30am on, it is not unusual to see a girl pop out of a bush next to you when you are walking down Alumni Lawn to class, and all that loud music, yeah, it’s coming...
Good Eatin’
Feb. 26, 2011—My parents come visit to watch almost every one of my home lacrosse games. Because of the scheduling for nonstop flights from Philadelphia, they usually spend the night before in the Marriot right near campus. Lucky for me, this means indulging myself in delicious meals. Among one of my favorite places to dine is Monell’s...
