Summmmmmerrrrr!!!
Jun. 23, 2011—Hi, blog world! I’m sorry it has been so long since my last post, but as y’all know…life gets busy. But never fear, I’m back now! So. Summer break is finally here. I’m spending my summer interning for Rawlings Sporting Goods. Yes, you heard me, that’s right. Rawlings is headquartered in St. Louis, which is...
CWS Update
Jun. 21, 2011—About 17 hours after the first pitch, a weather delay and finally, an overnight suspension of play, our Vanderbilt Commodores lost to the Florida Gators, by a score of 3-1, falling to 1-1 in the College World Series.
Summer’s Start
Jun. 1, 2011—Since it now June, and I have been home for a few weeks, I think the fact that I won’t be returning to Vanderbilt for another 2 months is finally sinking in. Coming home has been wonderful and relaxing, but I am definitely starting to miss the hustle and bustle of Vandy life.
My Mini Vacation
May. 23, 2011—After about three weeks of being home, I started having serious Vanderbilt withdrawals. It’s amazing how I adjusted so well to life at Vanderbilt and much trouble I am having re-adjusting to life at home. Lucky for me, my best friend and room mate, Glori, lives four hours away from me, so I decided to...
Summer Classes

This morning I packed up my remaining belongings and left for my hometown of Auburn, Alabama. While on the road I began to mentally compile...
Storage and Moving Tips
May. 6, 2011—Yesterday, along with fellow Inside ‘Dores Blogger Ryan Higgins and a couple other friends, I spent six long hours storing everything under the sun that one can find in a dorm room. We decided to store at Amerisite which is located on Sixth Avenue in downtown Nashville. The facility is secure, climate controlled and quite...
Taps & Tapas
May. 4, 2011—My favorite dinner spot around campus is definitely Hillsboro Village. There are a bunch of restaurants, ranging from McDougal’s (Chicken strips) to Zumi (sushi), Fido (American food in a hipster atmosphere) to Provence (sandwiches, soups, and delicious desserts). This past weekend, I took a Finals Study Break and ventured into one of the newer restaurants,...
It’s Over Already?
May. 3, 2011—Freshman year is over. Yes, today I finished my final presentation and I no longer have any schoolwork for this semester. My mom has come to visit and help me pack, and by Friday I will be moved out of the beautiful Commons and en route back to sunshine-y Florida.
