Nov. 9, 2014—If you’re currently a high school senior, and you’re anything like me, the list of colleges you’re applying to is still in flux, and probably will be up until the very last day before apps are due. You’ve probably been looking forward to going to college for some time now, and it’s crazy to imagine...
Retreat Weekend
Oct. 28, 2014—This past weekend I spent Friday evening through Sunday afternoon as a staff member for the Nashville Awakening Retreat at Camp Marymount, a camp ground that’s just a quick drive headed south along West End. I have participated in this retreat every single semester since I went on it my first semester as a retreated and...
A Weekend to End All Weekends
Oct. 21, 2014—A prominent 20th century philosopher once said, "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get". It's also pretty sweet. This weekend, though extraordinary, was not out of the ordinary. Every weekend takes me along for an unexpected ride, one that always manages to showcase many of the diverse facets of Vandy life. Join me as we experience the sights and sounds that this one particular trip took me through.

This is it!!
May. 8, 2014—THE day is here. It’s really weird to think that those chairs set up on alumni lawn are for MY class’ graduation. But that is the reality. Man, these past four years have FLOWN by. There have even been moments during this final semester when I would walk through campus and be oddly reminded of...
So Long, Farewell!
May. 6, 2014—Within a two week span, I was "sent off" by three organizations very near and dear to my heart: BCM, Cru, and Masala SACE. It so odd to know that it's actually my turn to be sent-off, but it was so encouraging and humbling to be recognized by these three amazing organizations!
