Volunteers work with Habitat staff and future Habitat homeowners to build these...
Summer Part I
Jun. 25, 2011—Summer has been great so far. I left Vandy soon after classes ended and returned to my hometown of Auburn, Alabama. It was great to see old friends and share college experiences from our previous semesters at various schools. Overall, it was a very enjoyable and relaxing three weeks at home.

May. 30, 2011—Two weeks after graduating college, I feel I’m finally able to reflect on my experiences at Vanderbilt and the impact that four years here had on my life.

We decided to store at Amerisite which is located on Sixth Avenue in downtown Nashville. The facility is secure, climate controlled and quite...
Taps & Tapas
May. 4, 2011—My favorite dinner spot around campus is definitely Hillsboro Village. There are a bunch of restaurants, ranging from McDougal’s (Chicken strips) to Zumi (sushi), Fido (American food in a hipster atmosphere) to Provence (sandwiches, soups, and delicious desserts). This past weekend, I took a Finals Study Break and ventured into one of the newer restaurants,...
It’s Over Already?
May. 3, 2011—Freshman year is over. Yes, today I finished my final presentation and I no longer have any schoolwork for this semester. My mom has come to visit and help me pack, and by Friday I will be moved out of the beautiful Commons and en route back to sunshine-y Florida.
Hotel Vanderbilt
May. 2, 2011—Just because the semester is over, doesn’t mean the Melodores stop pressing ahead. In fact, in just 12 days we have an audition for NBC’s Sing Off just down the street in Nashville. This will be our third time trying out for the show…will it be a charm? We have been busy all semester, balancing...
