Sunday Funday

Great Places to Study Around Campus
Dec. 5, 2011—It’s nearing that time of year again…I’m talking about finals week, the stress it brings, the amount of studying it inspires. Key to success is finding a place you feel comfortable and motivated to study. For some odd reasons, people study better in different conditions. Some people enjoy the background noise of others studying and...
A Weekend Away, Wilskills-style
Dec. 4, 2011—Since I’m studying abroad next semester, this weekend was my final hoorah with WilSkills, my number one extracurriculear at Vanderbilt. Being a second semester instructor for the course/club conglomerate, this semester was my first when I’d be allowed to “lead” a trip. The first trip I lead will also correlate to my last WilSkills trip...

Dec. 2, 2011—To be honest, Thanksgiving isn’t a big deal for me, as a holiday.

Tortellini Tuesday Revisited: An Insider’s View

Student Nights at Climb Nashville
Nov. 29, 2011—Climb Nashville is a local climbing gym located about 2 miles from campus. It is a fun place to go hang out with friends, experience something new, and potentially find a new hobby! I started off, as many did, climbing during Student Nights at Climb Nashville…and now here I am, as many are, addicted to...
The First of Many Holiday Parties
Nov. 28, 2011—Now that Thanksgiving break is over, in a festive attempt to be productive my friends and I had a holiday-themed study party in the hallway of their dorm.

Nov. 28, 2011—As part of my WilSkillzer duties, I recycled around Vanderbilt’s campus today for Vandy’s Plant Operations. It was raining, and at first I was by myself, but it actually turned into a very efficient happy recycling 2.5 hours.
