Life of a Student Dining Worker: A Labor of Love (And Bacon)
Mar. 2, 2013—*Guest blog by Jake Culberson, Alaskan and fellow Vanderbilt Barnard inhabitant. Needless to say, I never envisioned spending my spare time as a college student wearing a uniform and hustling scrambled eggs. When my sophomore year at Vanderbilt rolled around, however, I realized that it was time to take advantage of the Federal Work-Study program: I needed to get a job.
A Sweet Tooth Satisfied
Feb. 26, 2013—In my dream world, I would grow up to be a famous food blogger and get paid for eating gourmet food day in and day out in glamorous cities like New York and Paris. Unfortunately, this is not my fantasy world, and I am eating 14 out of 21 meals on the Vandy meal plan. Don't fear, though, prospective future Nashville dwellers, because Nashville is full of delicious noms to satisfy ever palate.
Midterm Madness
Feb. 25, 2013—Midterms are upon us! In the coming week, I’m sure you’ll hear a great (and valid) amount about the trials and tribulations of midterm examinations, pontifications and dissertations on Westernization, and other such things. I’m beating the rest of Inside ‘Dores to the punch, however – my midterm week came early, and it was a...
Getting Domestic
Feb. 21, 2013—This week, I actually had two midterms. They were in my easier classes, so I had some free time, but I was feeling a little anxious. I decided it was time to bake. At home, I cook and bake almost every day. I absolutely love it. But, while at school because I don't have a kitchen of my own, I often forget to do what I love. This week, I was determined to relieve some stress and remember to do what I love.
Wobbling and Gangnam-ing for a Cause

Valentine’s Day
Feb. 16, 2013—This past week was tech week on VUT’s new show, the Good Person of Sezuan, so I was insanely busy. That still was not able to stop me from finding time to celebrate one of my favorite holidays—Valentine’s Day!
Consider Me Inspired
Feb. 13, 2013—Many a time, I pray for inspiration. Sometimes, music majors get down in a funk about practicing, as it seems like there’s no point in sawing away at our expensive, hollowed out pieces of wood and we suffer from a dearth of motivation. But I first encountered Johannes Moser when he performed the Schumann Cello Concerto with the Berlin Philharmonic. On Youtube, that is. That three minute clip was so inspiring that I ran to the practice room and practiced for an hour and a half.
Harry Potter’s Birthplace, Superbowl Scotland Style, and the flu
Feb. 4, 2013—Hello friends! So this week in Edinburgh was amazing! Every week is getting better and better here. So let me just tell you what I did Tuesday: My program had a “reunion dinner” at a restaurant over in the West End of Edinburgh. We went to a restaurant called Bar Roma which serves traditional italian food. Most...
The Blogging Baking Buddies Bonanza Bash!
Jan. 29, 2013—Isn’t that just the best title? I can’t take full credit, for I was accompanied by my ally in alliteration (Ann) in crafting it. Today, I tell you a lovely tale of three bloggers coming together to craft some delicious delicacies. The backstory: Ann and I were tasked with making Sweet Sundays for the BCM...
Back To The Cutting Board
Jan. 28, 2013—Note to the reader: This next paragraph was a lot more relevant when I started this article… four weeks ago. Nonetheless, I think the Google Trends graph is fascinating and hilarious, so enjoy. First things first: Congrats on making it to the new year! We made it past the “Apocalypse” of December 21st, good work....
