Winding Down
Dec. 14, 2013—After a stressful week of finals, I am done and ready to enjoy my winter break! Here is what I have been up to the past few days...
Midnight Movie Time
Dec. 14, 2013—I won't hesitate to admit that I am not the biggest Lord of the Rings fan. I know, your jaw just dropped. This didn't keep me from going to the midnight premiere of the second Hobbit movie last night.
Visiting the Hermitage
Dec. 14, 2013—As Erica blogged about, Vanderbilt recently introduced a really cool program called Passport to Nashville. Upon its release, some friends and I (including fellow blogger Samantha) decided to go check out the Hermitage on an absolutely beautiful fall day.

Dec. 8, 2013—Last week saw the coming of Thanksgiving and all the festivities and traditions that come with it. I am talking about the turkey, pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce, green beans, corn and maybe even mashed potatoes. That may not be an exhaustive list but it is more or less comprehensive. As a Kenyan, Thanksgiving isn’t actually...
New Favorite Procrastination Tool: Live Concerts

I really don't think there are many college towns that allow for as many spontaneous concert adventures as I have had over my 3 years so far at Vandy. Although the week before Thanksgiving was a chaotic blur of group project meetings and nervous presentations (the blessing and curse of being an H.O.D. major), I somehow managed to fit in 2 spectacularly Nashville-y concerts on Thursday and Sunday night.
