Dinner with the Football Team
Mar. 15, 2011—Ok, so maybe I didn’t actually have dinner with the entire football team. I did, however, eat with four first-year players and Coach Franklin at Dean Wcislo’s house.
ASB in New Hampshire
Mar. 14, 2011—Alternative Spring Break (ASB) at Vanderbilt University was the first program of its kind and was established by Vanderbilt students in 1987 and today is one of the most popular service organizations on campus. I would definitely recommend that every Vanderbilt student participate in ASB at least once before the graduate. It can truly be...
Just the Break I Needed
Mar. 12, 2011—When I said goodbye to my friends last Friday, I knew we’d all come back with good stories from our spring break adventures. A bunch of my friends went on ASB (Alternative Spring Break) and travelled to random parts of the country to participate in community service, while another went to the mountains of North...
Class helped me meet a celebrity…
Mar. 10, 2011—Piggybacking off of what fellow blogger Lindsey Rothrock talked about in her post “Homework: Go to a Concert”, I have been in three music classes (American Music, African Music, and Blues) where I have had to attend concerts and write small papers on them. These active assignments encourage students to explore Nashville for what it...
Eenie Meenie Minie Moe- Where for Spring Break Should I Go?
Mar. 7, 2011—Its that time of year again. The weather is getting to be consistently nice out, the sandals have resurfaced from the depths of the closet. Its spring break, an integral part of everyone’s college experience, a time of myth to most high school students day dreaming about what college will be like once they get...
Welcome To Midterms
Mar. 6, 2011—My schedule this week? You don’t even want to know. I’ll tell you anyways. <–My planner……this week was horrible. On Monday, I had 3 classes- Philosophy 105 (Ethics…currently reading Immanuel Kant’s Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals), Spanish 203 (Spanish Literature-just finished reading La Casa de Bernarda Alba, for all you spanish literature junkies out...
Late Night Study Sessions
Mar. 3, 2011—This week is the last week before Spring Break! Of course, you know what that means. Professors have decided to cram as many tests, papers, and homework assignments into these last few days as possible. Nearly everyone I know is losing their mind, cramming in those last tidbits of information. I guess this will make...
The Green Wagon
Mar. 2, 2011—Last Wednesday, I had the opportunity to go to east Nashville with the members of my commons seminar. The seminar I’m taking this semester is called “Exploring Creative Lives”, and we’ve been discussing creativity and how it plays out into the lifestyles of people and here at Vanderbilt.
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.
Hula, Hula, Hula!!!
Feb. 23, 2011—One of my first friends at Vanderbilt was Annalise Miyashiro (who was Panhellenic Council president 2010-2011). Annalise is Hawaiian, and I am Chinese, but neither of us are in the Asian American Student Association. Every year, the Asian American Student Association puts on Asian New Year Festival (ANYF). Although Annalise was not part of the...
