Make it work!
Apr. 5, 2011—This evening, I went to see Tim Gunn speak at the Langford Auditorium here at Vanderbilt. Tim Gunn is a fashion consultant best known for his mentorship to competing designers on the hit TV show Project Runway. He’s also Liz Claiborne’s chief creative officer and the author of two books.
Tornado Trouble
Apr. 5, 2011—Right now, I’m sitting on my bed with the window open, listening to my summer playlist. I wanted a little break before diving into chemistry for the day, but for some reason, I’m struggling with ignoring the beautiful weather. This is probably due to the fact that yesterday was the complete opposite when I was...
Froyo Addiction
Apr. 5, 2011—I am in Baseball Glove Lounge, writing my HOD 1700 Literature Review Paper, and seriously craving froyo. So, as my study break, I will give you the lowdown on the best spots around Nashville. Good use of time, right?
Random Weekend Festivities
Mar. 27, 2011—This weekend was randomly busy for me, but in a very fun, I-didn’t-do-much-actual-homework kind of way! Friday was the AOII formal, and then Saturday kicked off with the Inaugural I-40 Faceoff: Vandy vs. UT hockey game!
Habitat for Humanity
Mar. 26, 2011—At 5:30 this morning, just as my roommate was getting into bed (I think that she is nocturnal), I woke up to go build a house with Vanderbilt’s Habitat for Humanity. On my walk from the Commons to the CPH (Community Partnership House) at 6 am, I was definitely second-guessing myself. Why did I wake...
AOII Red Rose Ball
Mar. 26, 2011—One fun perk of being in a sorority is having a formal—an excuse to dress up, go out to dinner, and dance with all your friends. Alpha Omicron Pi had our formal last night, and since it was so much fun, I figured I’d share a little about it.
A Magic Cool Bus Ride to the Heights
Mar. 25, 2011—Last night, I was lucky enough to win a spot on the Magic Cool Bus. The Magic Cool Bus takes seven trips throughout the year to places like Graceland and Mammoth Cave. The trips are only open to first-year students and each trip is sponsored by a different Commons house. Last night’s Magic Cool Bus...
Springtime!
Mar. 23, 2011—When I was picking a college, I barely gave any thought to weather. While I hate the cold, the longest I was ever outside was when I walked from my parking spot into my high school. I figured college would be the same, but, with my parents’ urging, I thought a little more about location...
Spring Break Paintballing
Mar. 19, 2011—Lucky for us student-athletes who are in season, we get to have Vanderbilt’s campus all to ourselves during spring break!!! Never mind getting tan on a cruise through the Caribbean and eating good food at Mardi Gras, we get to enjoy bathrooms all to ourselves and experience no lines at bread and co, no waiting...
Class helped me meet a celebrity…
Mar. 10, 2011—Piggybacking off of what fellow blogger Lindsey Rothrock talked about in her post “Homework: Go to a Concert”, I have been in three music classes (American Music, African Music, and Blues) where I have had to attend concerts and write small papers on them. These active assignments encourage students to explore Nashville for what it...
