Family Weekend at VU!
Oct. 15, 2012—This past weekend at Vanderbilt was family weekend, and I was fortunate enough to be visited by both my mom and dad, as well as my older brother Nick. Unfortunatly, my little sister Tals could not make the treck down to TN because of school and soccer but nevertheless my family and I had a...
The Amazing Race: Nashville
Oct. 12, 2012—During my fall break, I took part in something called the "Oyster Race." I had no idea what it was when I agreed to partake but my friends had told me it was going to be fun and it was for a good cause. And so, I signed up and it was quite... an Amazing Race.
Lights on the Lawn
Oct. 11, 2012—Next Friday there won’t be a single fraternity party–something almost unheard of for a Vanderbilt weekend. Instead, the Greek community is coming together to present Lights on the Lawn, a concert series benefiting the recovery effort of one of our own.

Fourth Fridays Return!
Oct. 8, 2012—If you all weren't aware, I'm a pretty big Melodores fan. I've written about their performances before, and I attended the ICCA South Semifinals which were held here at Vandy. I'm also a pretty big fan of supporting fellow bloggers in their endeavors and week from this past Friday I was able to combine both of those!
Fall Break in the Smokies
Oct. 8, 2012—Keeping with my 3 year tradition of spending Fall Break leading an Outdoor Recreation trip to the Smokey Mountains to go backpacking, I headed out this past weekend with a van full of new faces and came back with a van full of new friends. It may sound cheesy, but it’s true. There’s just no...
Why I applied to Vanderbilt
Oct. 8, 2012—Time really does fly! It seems like just yesterday that I was applying to college. I know that it is an extremely stressful time for high school seniors and their families. I hope that my reasons for applying to Vanderbilt can help you all decide to apply to Vanderbilt, or at the very least, figure...
