A (Not So) Melo Goodbye
Apr. 27, 2013—For most of us, this is our last weekend at Vanderbilt, decidedly one of stressful cramming, overnighters hauled along successive nights of insurmountable worry and an endless supply of our favorite Bongo Java coffee, and the prospect of imminent leaving. I will be following up later this week with some final thoughts on my freshman...
Rites 2013
Apr. 26, 2013—As a resident of Alumni Lawn, I didn’t even have to leave my dorm room to hear Rites this year!

Adios Seniors

How to Get Involved
Apr. 13, 2013—This weekend I’ve been realizing just how easy it is to get involved on campus and how much fun it is to interact with people who are not from your stereotypical social circle. This was brought to my attention when I started working as the house manager for the Original Cast's show Until Dawn: A Musical About War...
It’s beginning to look a lot like the end of the semester…
Apr. 6, 2013—As a semester draws to a close, all of the performing groups on campus start strutting their stuff. Each spare moment starts to be packed with supporting other members of VPAC, and I would not have it any other way! This weekend I got to see VOB’s production of Spring Awakening and VUT’s W;t...

Mar. 16, 2013—I cannot WAIT to tell you all about my Spring Break, but I am still waiting on a few pictures so just expect it in the near future. Until then, let me just say that it is DEFINITELY beginning to look a lot like spring time here at Vanderbilt!
