The Case of the Kickstand
Dec. 6, 2011—This Tuesday morning at approximately 5:36, I walked outside into the frigid air to unlock my bike to ride to PT. As I went through the mechanical routine of inputting the combination and removing the bike from its stand, something went horribly awry – my kickstand was missing.
The Climbing Wall at Vandy
Dec. 5, 2011—A real cool feature of Vanderbilt’s that is becoming more popular across the nation is the climbing wall available at the Student Recreation Center that is available to all members of the Rec Center (that means students!) for FREE when the wall is open.
Sunday Funday
Dec. 5, 2011—Yesterday was such a great day filled with on-campus activities. Currently counting down to final exam week, I decided that yesterday was going to be a day of fun, friends, and minimal studying (I may pay for that last part later).
A Weekend Away, Wilskills-style
Dec. 4, 2011—Since I’m studying abroad next semester, this weekend was my final hoorah with WilSkills, my number one extracurriculear at Vanderbilt. Being a second semester instructor for the course/club conglomerate, this semester was my first when I’d be allowed to “lead” a trip. The first trip I lead will also correlate to my last WilSkills trip...
The Original Cast Presents Fingerprints
Dec. 3, 2011—All this weekend, the Original Cast is performing their show this semester, Fingerprints. The Original Cast is a revue troupe that takes songs from various musicals and puts them together with their own plot. I’ve written about Cast performances before but last night may have been my favorite because it featured songs from Spring Awakening,...
Final Friday of Classes!
Dec. 2, 2011—I know I’ve been mentioning how I can’t believe how quickly this semester has gone by for the past few posts. You’d think that I’d be used to it by now, but no such luck. Within a mere week, my third semester at Vanderbilt will officially be over! Ahh. Still can’t get over that.
Group Projects
Dec. 2, 2011—Today, in my Interpersonal Communication class, I did a group presentation that counted for about one-quarter of my grade. In high school, I absolutely dreaded group projects, but I actually really enjoy group projects now. This one in particular was a lot of fun to work on.
Tortellini Tuesday Revisited: An Insider’s View
Nov. 30, 2011—Last year, one of my friends and fellow bloggers, Ryan, wrote about Tortellini Tuesday. In fact, he even mentioned me! It’s because I work for Vanderbilt Dining to fulfill my work study allotment.
Pre-Exam Mega Stress Fest!
Nov. 30, 2011—This Friday is the Vanderbilt Office of Housing & Residential Education’s annual Mega Stress Fest! This event is put on every year in an attempt to help students get some much needed stress relief before exams begin the following week.
Student Nights at Climb Nashville
Nov. 29, 2011—Climb Nashville is a local climbing gym located about 2 miles from campus. It is a fun place to go hang out with friends, experience something new, and potentially find a new hobby! I started off, as many did, climbing during Student Nights at Climb Nashville…and now here I am, as many are, addicted to...
