The Dean’s Book Club
Feb. 6, 2014—Since December, I’ve participated in the Dean’s Book Club on two occasions. The first book, a slim volume of poetry called Maybe the Saddest Thing by Marcus Wicker, confused me with its plenitude of hip-hop and pop culture references. There were a few poems, however, that I enjoyed, even though I knew I was missing...
Wilderness Skills 101: Backpacking
Feb. 2, 2014—This past weekend I joined nine other Vanderbilt students for a romp in the North Carolina woods. In short, we drove to Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest, hiked Saturday and Sunday morning, and then returned in time for the Super Bowl/homework.
Faith in Art
Jan. 31, 2014—One of the greatest debates I had with myself when I got in was about how religious this university is, and whether it will be awkward not to be religious on campus.

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...
Diwali Withdrawal-i
Dec. 12, 2013—As I sit down and relax (I just finished my finals--whew!), my mind wanders to everything that has happened this semester. One of my personal goals this year was to try something new that I have never done before. This semester, I achieved this by performing in Diwali.
Captain Philips and the John Rich Hunger Games.
Dec. 9, 2013—I know that title is a bit of a mouthful but read on to know why. So I was sitting down a few days ago and I got thinking about all that’s happened this semester. My conclusion: Vandy wants me to have as much fun as possible. So earlier on this semester I had the...
