A Taste of “home” in England
Jan. 21, 2013—As part of my study abroad program, we are required to spend a weekend with a family who lives in the United Kingdom.

Recruitment 2013
Jan. 16, 2013—These past two weekends I spent at sororities for spring recruitment. I rushed as a sophomore, which is not common, but not unheard of. Coming into college, I didn't know that much about sororities, as none of my family was greek. After watching lots of my friends join sororities last year and have wonderful experiences, I decided that I wanted to rush as well!
Getting my Kicks in Semester Six…
Jan. 15, 2013—All right, I admit, the title’s a stretch. Feel free to comment with something better. But I had to keep the tradition alive. And sure, this isn’t quite a preview since I’ve already had a full week of class–but while I’ve had a full week of class, you have no idea what I’m up to!...
Nashville Winters
Jan. 15, 2013—People at home often ask me about winter in Nashville. This is my third winter here and I can honestly say that I still do not have a concise definition for Nashville winter.

Jan. 7, 2013—I was tipped off about Inside ‘Dores halfway through my freshman year at Vanderbilt. A friend of mine who wrote for the blog at the time said the Admissions office was looking for people to write about their experiences at school. Sure, thought I, people would love to read about my life! Whether or not...
Bowl-ing in Nashville
Jan. 2, 2013—I spent the last day of 2012 watching my Vanderbilt Commodores make history
Imma miss you, Vandy.
Dec. 15, 2012—Well folks, I survived the semester. After a stressful morning of last minute packing, goodbyes, and two plane rides, I am finally made it home. As I am sure all of you are well aware of, I am studying abroad next semester at the University of Edinburgh in Edinburgh, Scotland. While I could not be...
WilSkills Fall 2012 Summary
Dec. 15, 2012—Another semester finished, another great WilSkills season filled with whitewater canoeing, climbing, and backpacking. It’s bittersweet because I’m a senior and this is my second to last WilSkills and Vanderbilt semester.
Fall Finale
Dec. 15, 2012—Today marks the official last day of the Fall Semester! Woo hoo! Though I made my way back home earlier in the week, I figured now is a good time as any to do some reflecting on the semester past and things to look forward to in the semester to come. Fall: 1) Large quantities...
