Cafe Coco and “The Card”
Jan. 23, 2011—Last night, my friends and I were pretty bored and hungry. We spent the day hanging out in our dorm because it was cold and gray outside. Sometimes, after a long week, the best way to spend a Saturday is to relax and bond with the girls. We didn’t want to go to the dining...

Casino Night!
Jan. 23, 2011—Friday night was the VPB (Vanderbilt Programming Board) sponsored “Casino Night” in the Student Life Center.

Week Update
Jan. 23, 2011—This week was awesome! It kicked off with me trying out a new church: Green Hills Church, service takes place at Cabana (a nice restaurant on 21st avenue).

Cages or Wings, Presented by the Original Cast
Dec. 6, 2010—This past weekend, I attended a performance of Cages or Wings, a musical by the Broadway Revue Troupe, the Original Cast. I was blown away by the show!

The Melonator 2 Concert – Verdict: Success!
Dec. 2, 2010—Last night marked the Melodores‘ Winter Concert -The Melonator 2: Judgment Day. Why the movie theme?
