Thanksgiving Break Tales
Nov. 25, 2012—It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving Break is already over. A week away from Vandy has certainly been relaxing, but I am happy to be back.
It’s always fun to give thanks
Nov. 25, 2012—This past week was Thanksgiving break and I had a totally awesome time even though I wasn’t able to go home! That is one of the pitfalls of being an international student—since you live so far away, it is difficult to see your family during short-term breaks like Thanksgiving. But, that means that you can go home with friends (or in my case, my boyfriend) and get to experience the fun that is Thanksgiving in a different setting...
Black Friday Bonanza!
Nov. 24, 2012—Want to know a big secret? I’m not really a fan of Thanksgiving dinner. But I still look forward to the holiday… because of Black Friday!
Thanksgiving Break Coming to a Close
Nov. 24, 2012—Thanksgiving Break marks the first time I have been home in over 3 months… that’s a fourth of a year!

Sure, I could have waited a week and relaxed over Thanksgiving Break. But, a better opportunity presented itself.
Adopted for Family Weekend
Oct. 17, 2012—Last weekend, I went home to spend fall break with my family. This weekend was Vanderbilt Family Weekend, and because I have three exams this week and I just saw my family, they decided to forego parents weekend this year. I do love when my parents visit me here at school, but this year it just wasn't going to work out. I hope that you aren't feeling sorry for me, though. This weekend I was adopted by my friends' families.
I Love My Mommy

Family Weekend at VU!
Oct. 15, 2012—This past weekend at Vanderbilt was family weekend, and I was fortunate enough to be visited by both my mom and dad, as well as my older brother Nick. Unfortunatly, my little sister Tals could not make the treck down to TN because of school and soccer but nevertheless my family and I had a...
