Nov. 20, 2011—Hey there Nashville. It is 9 o’clock pm and you are now listening to 91 Across on WRVU Nashville. This is DJ Una with DJ Emily also in the house and we’re going to start you off this week with….
CMA Awards!!
Nov. 11, 2011—Around this time last year, it occurred to me how incredibly close Vanderbilt is to the CMA Awards that take place at Bridgestone Arena in downtown Nashville every year. I vowed that someday, I would take advantage of that and actually go to the awards, instead of just lusting over the idea for the next...
An Atypical Wednesday
Nov. 10, 2011—Wednesday afternoon, I had the opportunity to journey out of the Vandy bubble to volunteer at the Feed the Children warehouse here in Nashville.
Class Outside on a BEAUTIFUL Fall Day
Nov. 8, 2011—Today, the weather was absolutely amazing! The high was right around 70. There was a nice breeze and the sun was shining. I wore a skirt and flip-flops. It was just perfect.
Books and Books and Books!
Nov. 5, 2011—This Monday, Vanderbilt opened its new bookstore, a Barnes & Noble / Vanderbilt Bookstore combo that had me wanting for months (especially since its construction meant Borders was closed since we got back for this semester).

Fall weather
Nov. 4, 2011—As the North East was slammed with snow this past week, Nashville has enjoyed a particularly beautiful Fall, complete with seventy degree days and breathtaking color changes.

Halloween Downtown
Oct. 30, 2011—This weekend, a friend had a few visitors from out of town to show around. While we did spend a lot of time introducing these people to Vanderbilt and student life here, we decided to go exploring downtown Saturday night and see all the Halloween festivities downtown.
The Avett Brothers Concert
Oct. 29, 2011—Last night I went to see one of my new favorite bands, The Avett Brothers, in concert downtown. The best part is, not only did I get to see them live, but I was actually required to see this concert for a class! One of the assignments for my History of Country Music is that...
Predators, Concerts, and Majors. Oh my!
Oct. 20, 2011—There are lots of things to catch up on! On Thursday evening, after my swarm of midterms were finally done, I went with my friend Rachel-Chloe to the opening game of the Nashville Predators vs. the Phoenix Coyotes at Bridgestone Arena, courtesy of A.I.Ch.E– the Chemical Engineering Society here at Vanderbilt!
