Honor Council
Mar. 14, 2011—Sorry about the small hiatus. The past two weeks have flown. Between midterms and spring break, I totally forgot to blog! Over spring break, I got an email from my chemistry professor letting me know that I was going to be contacted by the honor council. Vanderbilt’s Undergraduate Honor Council “was formed to help enforce...
Just the Break I Needed
Mar. 12, 2011—When I said goodbye to my friends last Friday, I knew we’d all come back with good stories from our spring break adventures. A bunch of my friends went on ASB (Alternative Spring Break) and travelled to random parts of the country to participate in community service, while another went to the mountains of North...
The Green Wagon
Mar. 2, 2011—Last Wednesday, I had the opportunity to go to east Nashville with the members of my commons seminar. The seminar I’m taking this semester is called “Exploring Creative Lives”, and we’ve been discussing creativity and how it plays out into the lifestyles of people and here at Vanderbilt.
Spring Awakening
Feb. 27, 2011—This past weekend, my favorite musical was in town: Spring Awakening. Being the devoted fan I am, I saw it twice in less than 24 hours. I know that sounds a little crazy/stalker-like, so let me explain.
Are You Ready for Some Football?
Feb. 25, 2011—Ok, so maybe I’m a little early, but I am getting excited for next football season. Wednesday night, new Head Football Coach, James Franklin, was invited to speak at Gillette Gelato. Gillette Gelato, held every Wednesday night, is a chance for the residents of Gillette to socialize with each other and their residential staff, over...
My Friend Sarah
Feb. 20, 2011—Unfortunately, I have no interesting stories about myself, so I figured I would tell you about a friend of mine.
Mammoth Cave
Feb. 18, 2011—Last weekend I took an excursion about two hours away from Vanderbilt campus to Mammoth Cave National Park. Located in Kentucky, the park contains the world’s longest known cave system that stretches over 390 miles.
To Infinity and Beyond – A Mathematical Adventure
Feb. 16, 2011—Last week was one of the unfortunate midterm weeks during which every professor, out of a desire to “not schedule your tests during other midterms,” schedules tests for the same days. After this hellish experience, which was coupled with a rather physically strenuous weekend, I decided to unwind by attending one of the coolest events...
Valentine’s Day
Feb. 15, 2011—Yesterday was Valentine’s Day and despite its unfortunate nickname of Singles Awareness Day, it was a really fun day for me and my fellow single friends! In my mind, Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be solely about romantic love, but rather spending time with anyone you love, whether friends or family.
