The Beginning of Fall, Nissans, and Foodtrucks
Sep. 26, 2012—Well, it is official folks. It is SWEATER SEASON! As much as I loved the summer weather, I am ready for things to cool down a little bit. Not a fan of sweating when I am walking to class–bleh. In honor of the beginning of this wonderful season, a couple lovely ladies of the Catholic FOCUS...
Farm to Fork Dinner
Sep. 26, 2012—I had been raving about the annual Farm to Fork dinner to my friends, checking the Common Place website since the beginning of the year to make sure I didn't miss the RSVP and badgering them all to sign up for this no-caloric-regrets-because-it-is-just-that-good meal.
Getaway for a Day
Sep. 25, 2012—This time of the semester is stressful. This coming week I have two papers, a test, a quiz and a whole host of miscellaneous tasks for group projects and extra curriculars. That’s why I was so glad this past weekend to get off campus for a few days for a BCM retreat at Deer Run...
A Saturday of Service
Sep. 25, 2012—This past weekend, I volunteered at the Second Harvest Food Bank sorting meat in a giant refrigerator.
I’ve Got The Victory!
Sep. 24, 2012—This was our first road trip since I've been in Victory and I definitely want to do it again. We were invited to sing at an alumnus' church so we took the 6-hour drive there and back for less than 24 hours in Cincinnati...
Habitat for Humanity Builds
Sep. 24, 2012—One of the student organizations I have become passionate about during my time at Vanderbilt is Habitat for Humanity. I went from being on the Junior Exec Board to becoming a fundraising chair and running the Commodore Trot 5k for two years, to finally becoming one of the co-presidents. It may not be your favorite...
A Beautiful Day at Centennial Park
Sep. 23, 2012—This weekend, I finally got the chance to check out the Musician's Corner free concert series. It turned out to be a beautiful day weather-wise and it was great to sit back and listen to music along with getting food from some of Nashville's food trucks.
TIMAV: Dismas House
Sep. 22, 2012—I know I’ve written before about my weekly outings to Dismas House, but I thought you all could use a reminder about this great service opportunity so near to campus. It’s definitely my favorite extracurricular activity, other than telling you all about my life through this blog. I also really missed it while abroad.
This Week’s Funtivities
Sep. 21, 2012—This week, I decided that every day I would take a small study break and enjoy something uniquely offered at Vanderbilt. I'm going to be honest and say that I thought it would be difficult to find fun things to do every day. Is there really a Vanderbilt sponsored activity that I could enjoy every day? There is! And, if I were a betting girl, I'd bet that there would be everyday funtivities for you too!
A Night at the Symphony
Sep. 21, 2012—Last night I enjoyed a performance by the Nashville Symphony, thanks to SoundCheck, a program offered by the symphony center where college students can get tickets for $10.
