Melodores rep Vandy in NYC, congratulated by Sam Tsui
Apr. 23, 2011—As TC mentioned in his earlier post, last weekend the Melodores had the distinct honor to compete at the ICCA Finals, joining the other top 6 groups in the nation and also the winner of the UK competition. It was a whirlwind of a weekend. We arrived at the Laguardia Airport around 9:30 pm and...
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...
Rites of Spring
Apr. 18, 2011—This past weekend was Rites of Spring. “What is Rites of Spring?” you may ask. Only the biggest, funnest (look it up, it’s in the dictionary now) concert held at Vanderbilt each year. It lasts for two days and features multiple artists of different genres.
Apply to Become an Inside ‘Dore Blogger!
Apr. 17, 2011—If you read our blogs and love them, and live vicariously through them, then know that you also love Inside ‘Dores Bloggers. And if you go to Vandy, or are coming here in the fall, or you are thinking about applying to Vanderbilt…you probably should consider becoming an Inside ‘Dores Blogger yourself.
LeCrae & Rock City!
Apr. 15, 2011—Last Friday, I went to go see LeCrae, a Christian rapper, at a Rockettown. LeCrae has had an amazing past. He grew up in a very poor community and used to live with what he calls “selfish ambition” (quoted from his concert). He now is a very successful music artist and inspires millions with his...
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...
Empire State of Mind (New York)
Apr. 12, 2011—New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of/ There’s nothin’ you can’t do/ Now you’re in New York/ These streets will make you feel brand new/ Big lights will inspire you/ Let’s hear it for New York, New York, New York This the chorus of a song you most likely know, “Empire State of Mind”...
American Music Recital
Apr. 11, 2011—As you may have noticed before, I go to a lot of Blair concerts. I’m really not that cultured in the arts, it’s just that my roommate and one of my best friends are in Blair, so I’ve met a bunch of cool people from there or Spirit of Gold (the marching band).
More on Professor Van Schaack
Apr. 11, 2011—Morgan Weisman, my fellow blogger and sorority sister, is right. Academics at Vanderbilt are not always a piece of cake, but there are those professors that make paying $50,000 on a tuition bill worthwhile. Professor Andy Van Schaack is one of those. I realize Morgan elaborated quite a bit on him, but enough can’t be...
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.
