Spring Awakening
Feb. 27, 2011—This past weekend, my favorite musical was in town: Spring Awakening. Being the devoted fan I am, I saw it twice in less than 24 hours. I know that sounds a little crazy/stalker-like, so let me explain.
Good Eatin’
Feb. 26, 2011—My parents come visit to watch almost every one of my home lacrosse games. Because of the scheduling for nonstop flights from Philadelphia, they usually spend the night before in the Marriot right near campus. Lucky for me, this means indulging myself in delicious meals. Among one of my favorite places to dine is Monell’s...
Homework: Go to a Concert
Feb. 23, 2011—I am taking an awesome class this semester! History of Rock Music. Not only is it really fun and interesting but it also counts as part of my Liberal Arts requirements. In class we talk about specific artists ranging from the 1950s to current times including Little Richard, Elvis, Otis Redding, Grateful Dead, Lynard Skynard,...
The Nashville Intercollegiate Activism Conference
Feb. 21, 2011—Last Thursday, the Vanderbilt Political Review (VPR) hosted the Nashville Intercollegiate Activism Conference (NIAC). Being the treasurer for VPR, I was somewhat active in putting on this conference and was really excited to see it finally happen.
“Five-year-old-habits” die hard
Feb. 18, 2011—Remember how simple life was when we were five? Wake up, go to school, play, eat lunch, tap a nap (oh, how I miss naps), eat again, play, go home, repeat. It was a simple life, an easy life, but now things are a little bit more complicated.
Melodores at TPAC!
Feb. 17, 2011—After a rough start to my morning, (I slept through my alarm and missed a test…guess there’s a first time for everything), things started to shape up. I got in touch with my professor and he was more than happy to let me come in a make it up! I woke up and realized that...
A Joyride Around Nashville..Keeps a Long-Distance Relationship Strong
Feb. 14, 2011—As a last hurrah of the weekend, despite the climbing gas prices, my girlfriend (who flew in for a visit this weekend!) and I took a ride around town to see some sights and to take advantage of the beautiful weather. Thanks to my sophomore G-lot parking permit, I only had to cross the street...
Nashvegas
Feb. 13, 2011—Downtown Nashville is famous for it’s neon lights, live music, crazy bachelorettes and quirky regulars. Vanderbilt is located 1.3 miles uptown (aka a four minute cab ride) from this legendary strip of southern goodness. This past Saturday night, my friends and I decided that it was time for a taste of good ol’ Nashvegas.
Riding the Wave
Feb. 10, 2011—Whew. What a crazy week it’s been. Last Thursday, I had my first test in Calculus for the semester. Then, on Tuesday, I had a test for Neuroscience in the morning, and a test for Chemistry that night, not to mention I had lab and another class that day too. To wrap it up, I...
They don’t clean my bathroom anymore?
Feb. 9, 2011—Throughout my Vanderbilt career I have truly had some great luck in my housing! Freshman year I lived in Branscomb, (Yes, I am that OLD that I never lived on the Commons). Branscomb is the dorm that is right beside Greek row, has a Munchie Mart in the bottom, a great study lounge, and a...
