Formal Weekend
Apr. 6, 2011—In my opinion Formal Weekend and Rites of Spring Weekend are the two best weekends of the semester, no question. Rites will be blogged about next week, so for now I’m gonna focus on Formal Weekend.
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.
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?
Juggleville
Apr. 4, 2011—Last weekend, I went to see Juggleville at Langford Auditorium here on campus. A bunch of my friends were performing as members of JPAC (the Juggling and Performing Arts Club on campus). The show was incredible and was so much fun to watch.
Spring Football
Mar. 30, 2011—It’s in the air. That’s right, winter workouts are a thing of the past and spring football is under way! Over the course of the past week, most SEC schools returned to the practice fields in preparation for another year of college football. Being from Auburn, I follow my Tigers religiously but I have started...
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!
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.
Caffeine
Mar. 25, 2011—Let’s talk caffeine. As most college students (and many high school students) can testify, caffeine, specifically in the form of coffee, is a substance akin to blood or water in its importance to student survival. This biological dependence on/addiction to caffeine intrigued my inner mathematician (double major!), so I decided to look into caffeine as...
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...
4:30am Wake Up Calls, Chasing Boys, and Sisterly Bonding – It must be Derby Days!
Mar. 24, 2011—Every year on Vanderbilt’s campus there is a week where sleep becomes non-existent for sorority girls from the hours of 4:30am on, it is not unusual to see a girl pop out of a bush next to you when you are walking down Alumni Lawn to class, and all that loud music, yeah, it’s coming...
