More Thoughts on Summer, College…
Aug. 23, 2011—I just told y’all all about my high school, and how special it is, and how much I love it. In my college search, I looked for a place that was as special as my high school. That school IS Vanderbilt.
Summer Send-Off
Aug. 16, 2011—Every year, the week before school begins, Vanderbilt alumni chapters around the country hold Summer Send-Off parties. These gatherings bring together current Vanderbilt students, alumni, family and friends in order to welcome new students to the University. The Send-Off gives these new students (and their families) their first taste of the amazing Vanderbilt community.
Fourth of July in Nashville
Jul. 10, 2011—Typically I spend my Fourth of July weekend with my extended family in Chicago, Illinois but this summer was a little different. As I have mentioned before in previous posts, I have a research position on campus here at Vanderbilt University this summer and I decided to spend the holiday in Nashville this summer.
Rites of Spring
Apr. 18, 2011—This past weekend was Rites of Spring. “What is Rites of Spring?” you may ask. Only the biggest, funnest (look it up, it’s in the dictionary now) concert held at Vanderbilt each year. It lasts for two days and features multiple artists of different genres.

Holi
Apr. 10, 2011—Holi, also known as the Festival of Colors, is one of the most popular celebrations of the year for people of the Hindu faith. It is considered one of the happiest days of the year and this past Saturday, Vanderbilt’s Masala-SACE student organization hosted their very own Holi event on the lawn in front of...
Formal Weekend
Apr. 6, 2011—In my opinion Formal Weekend and Rites of Spring Weekend are the two best weekends of the semester, no question. Rites will be blogged about next week, so for now I’m gonna focus on Formal Weekend.
Dinner in the U.K.!
Mar. 27, 2011—Last Wednesday, I ate dinner in the United Kingdom…without having to leave Vanderbilt campus.
4:30am Wake Up Calls, Chasing Boys, and Sisterly Bonding – It must be Derby Days!
Mar. 24, 2011—Every year on Vanderbilt’s campus there is a week where sleep becomes non-existent for sorority girls from the hours of 4:30am on, it is not unusual to see a girl pop out of a bush next to you when you are walking down Alumni Lawn to class, and all that loud music, yeah, it’s coming...
Congrats to the New Tour Guides!
Mar. 22, 2011—When you visit Vanderbilt’s campus for a tour sessions you will first sit in on an Information Session led by one of our awesome Admissions Counselors and then you will be led on a campus tour by a current student. However, these aren’t any ordinary students… they are hand picked every spring by the Admissions...
