Housing!
Apr. 7, 2011—I officially know where I am living next year! My best friend, Glori, and I will be living in Scales House in Branscomb Quad. We actually have our own half bath that connects our room to another double, which will be occupied by our other friends. This all happened so fast! Where did freshman year...
Formal Weekend
Apr. 6, 2011—In my opinion Formal Weekend and Rites of Spring Weekend are the two best weekends of the semester, no question. Rites will be blogged about next week, so for now I’m gonna focus on Formal Weekend.
Make it work!
Apr. 5, 2011—This evening, I went to see Tim Gunn speak at the Langford Auditorium here at Vanderbilt. Tim Gunn is a fashion consultant best known for his mentorship to competing designers on the hit TV show Project Runway. He’s also Liz Claiborne’s chief creative officer and the author of two books.
Tornado Trouble
Apr. 5, 2011—Right now, I’m sitting on my bed with the window open, listening to my summer playlist. I wanted a little break before diving into chemistry for the day, but for some reason, I’m struggling with ignoring the beautiful weather. This is probably due to the fact that yesterday was the complete opposite when I was...
Froyo Addiction
Apr. 5, 2011—I am in Baseball Glove Lounge, writing my HOD 1700 Literature Review Paper, and seriously craving froyo. So, as my study break, I will give you the lowdown on the best spots around Nashville. Good use of time, right?
Not A Piece Of Cake
Apr. 4, 2011—I didn’t expect college to be a piece of cake. I mean let’s face it: this is Vanderbilt. I came in expecting a challenge, and I certainly got one! Don’t get me wrong, and don’t even think I’m complaining, because being challenged is a lot easier with professors like Professor Van Schaack.
RIP Kevin Putney – you will be missed
Apr. 3, 2011—This past week, a Vanderbilt student by the name of Kevin Putney passed away. No official statement has been released about how he died. I did not know Kevin, but I had friends who did. These friends remember him fondly. This past Friday, Vanderbilt held a service for him at Benton chapel: “At 3:00pm on...
My New Favorite Subject: Neuroscience!
Mar. 30, 2011—This semester, I’m taking Neuroscience with Dr. Leslie Smith. I kind of enrolled on a whim, since the Cognitive Psychology class I wanted was full. Let me just go ahead and say that I’m now planning on majoring in Neuroscience; that’s how awesome it is.
Cafe Con Leche!!
Mar. 28, 2011—Every year, the Vanderbilt Association of Hispanic Students (VAHS) puts on a performance called Cafe Con Leche with some of the hottest Latin dancing! This year’s theme was “Meet Los Padres.” The VAHS president was Teresa Temkin this year, and the co-chairs of the performance were the Ojeda twins (all 3 dear friends of mine)....
