LET IT SNOW
Dec. 10, 2013—After five hours spent in the library working on a research paper, I emerged into the night with my spirits low and in desperate need of caffeine to get me through the next ten pages. I was met by a beautiful sight: snow. And lots of it!
Man-I’ve-Been-Bad-at-Pacing-These-This-Semester Monday, Part 2
Dec. 9, 2013—While I’m gearing up for finals this week (wish me luck!), I’ve also been gearing up for the holidays. The result is my newest masterpiece, “Twas the Week of Vandy Exams."
Five Things to Look Forward to!
Dec. 9, 2013—This week, most people will be heading off to start their Christmas breaks, but I need to stay in Nashville until the 20th because of work obligations. I also spent Thanksgiving here, so, I thought it would be appropriate to share the top five things I love doing when at Vanderbilt during breaks...
Man-I’ve-Been-Bad-at-Pacing-These-This-Semester Monday, Part 1
Dec. 9, 2013—Sorry for the sudden overload of my sunshine-y voice on the blog, but I just want to get a few more in before the semester ends! Here are some of my thoughts on why Vanderbilt’s first-year Commons experience is so significant and wonderful.
Teaching at Peabody
Dec. 9, 2013—I have recently realized just how little I knew about what it took to become a teacher before I came to Vanderbilt. I did not know anything about the steps that were taken, and the different nuances you could receive in your degree. I had never had anyone spell it out for me, so I wanted to give all potential future Peabody-attendees a summary of what to look forward to in the upcoming years...
A Holiday Party
Dec. 9, 2013—As seniors, my friends and I are trying to fit a lot of fun in the little time left that we have at Vanderbilt. Therefore, despite the copious amounts of papers and exams that we all have this week, we decided to take a break and celebrate. We celebrated the holidays, the end of our last fall semester, and my friend's birthday.
A Rare Gem
Dec. 9, 2013—When I first came to Vanderbilt, I participated in Visions, as every freshman does. One of our meetings involved going to Vanderbilt's Psychological Counseling Center (PCC) to see what they had to offer. I did not give much value to the trip because I considered it almost inferior to go ask for help. It was not until recently that I realized just how valuable the resources there are--and how wonderful it is that Vanderbilt provided them for free...
The Highlight of my Week
Dec. 9, 2013—I am a junior with only 8 meals per week to her name. So some might ask: why do you spend 2-3 meals per week on coffee at Last Drop? While I do love coffee an inordinate amount, that is not the reason. The real reason I spend an entire meal on a cup of coffee, bagel, and muffin, is because my time there is the highlight of my week...
Oh My Finals Week!
Dec. 9, 2013—So here's a shocking and controversial statement: Finals Week is pretty cool!
Silent Light
Dec. 9, 2013—Actually, it really wasn't silent at all. And that was a far-fetched play on words. So really, the title is pretty silly. Oh well. This blog post is about lovely lights. The Gaylord Opryland Resort puts up the most elaborate, festive lights every winter, and these twinklings made my friends and I pretty jolly.
