Accomplishments During Thanksgiving Break
Nov. 23, 2011—I had many aspirations for Thanksgivng break: sleep, spend time with all of my friends back home, sleep, hang out with the family, sleep, finish a political science paper, sleep, study for a biology test, sleep, finish some leisure reading, and sleep some more. But this has to be one of those situations where “it’s...
Vandy Loves T-Swift
Nov. 22, 2011—After the end of freshman year, I realized that I wasn’t taking full advantage of all the opportunities that Music City has to offer. So, this year when I was booking my flights back to school, I checked Ticketmaster to see if there were any good concerts. Sure enough, Taylor Swift was playing at the...
Kathryn Stockett at Vanderbilt
Nov. 22, 2011—I knew Vanderbilt was amazing at getting entertaining speakers to come to campus, but I couldn’t believe they got Kathryn Stockett, the author of the New York Times bestseller, The Help.
Vanderbilt Reunion
Nov. 22, 2011—I could not survive my week at home without a little Vanderbilt reunion. Most of friends from high school don’t get home until later in the week, so yesterday, I decided to spend the day with some of my Vanderbilt friends.

What is WilSkills?
Nov. 20, 2011—There is a somewhat hidden course (!) offered at Vanderbilt called Wilderness Skills. You can’t register it; you can’t even find it on YES…it exists in the wild outdoor backcountry of the southeast, only to show up on your transcript at the end of each semester as a reminder of the amazing adventures you’ve been...
Oh, those Blue Ridge Mountains
Nov. 20, 2011—10/10/11: For the past 3 days, I’ve essentially been my own pack mule, hauling my food, shelter, and clothing up and down the Blue Ridge Mountains. And oh! What a great 3 days it was!
From Nashville to Phoenix to Home!
Nov. 20, 2011—This past Wednesday, I packed up my bags and left for Thanksgiving Break early, along with the rest of my wonderful women’s club soccer team here at Vandy.
A Few Sour Chords on a Thursday Night
Nov. 18, 2011—It’s 2:48 A.M. on the Thursday night (Friday morning?) before Thanksgiving Break. I don’t have class tomorrow, so I am up watching movies and fiddling around on the internet. (This is very precious free-time that I’m not used to having, so my night is fairly aimless.) I’m sitting in my Stapleton double alone (my roommate...
