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...
Food for Thought
Apr. 27, 2011—I’m officially done with one of my four classes! I’m about to turn in my research paper for my American Studies writing seminar Food for Thought (I think it’s actually the same one Erica took last semester).
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...
Upper Quad Pig Roast
Apr. 24, 2011—Stambaugh House RA Nick Hall is from Memphis, Tennesse. His dad happens to be a professional pig-roaster. To celebrate the end of the year, Nick’s Dad drove down from Memphis with his grill and spent Friday night in his truck cooking a 104-pound pig!
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...
Free Ice Cream for Everybody!
Apr. 12, 2011—Today, April 12, 2011, Ben and Jerry’s celebrated its ‘Free Cone Day.’ They thanked their customers for thirty-three great years of business with free ice cream for everyone!
Holi
Apr. 10, 2011—Holi, also known as the Festival of Colors, is one of the most popular celebrations of the year for people of the Hindu faith. It is considered one of the happiest days of the year and this past Saturday, Vanderbilt’s Masala-SACE student organization hosted their very own Holi event on the lawn in front of...
Pancakes at the Pantry! (Courtesy of CityVU)
Apr. 9, 2011—I just left Pancake Pantry. I had a 4:15 reservation. You are probably wondering how this is possible when the restaurant closes at 4. Not only this, but even when the restaurant is open, they do not take reservations. People line up around the block to eat at the Pantry.
