Fall weather
Nov. 4, 2011—As the North East was slammed with snow this past week, Nashville has enjoyed a particularly beautiful Fall, complete with seventy degree days and breathtaking color changes. One of the best ways to enjoy this perk is to enjoy one of the many outside study spots on campus. Here are a few of my favorites.
Bring On the Fall
Nov. 2, 2011—So, there are two things that I know I’m not: 1) A morning person and 2) a fan of cold weather. Today, I faced my fears.
Disc Golf!
Oct. 19, 2011—College is all about trying new things, right? Well, last weekend, I had the chance to play my first ever game of disc golf.
Freshman Forget-me-NOTS
Aug. 6, 2011—Packing up for the first year of college is overwhelming. For one, you’re excited to (finally) be out of the house and on your own. Classes are better, friends are better, and life is just a lot more fun. But, you face the prospect of packing up everything you’re going to need for a year...
Upper Quad Pig Roast
Apr. 24, 2011—Stambaugh House RA Nick Hall is from Memphis, Tennesse. His dad happens to be a professional pig-roaster. To celebrate the end of the year, Nick’s Dad drove down from Memphis with his grill and spent Friday night in his truck cooking a 104-pound pig!
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.
Just Another Vandy Weekend
Apr. 12, 2011—Weekends at Vanderbilt are never short of things to do, and this weekend was no exception. On Friday night, I went with some friends to an ice rink in Franklin to play broomball with a group from Rolling Hills Community Church. I had gone last semester, and it was so much fun, so I was...
Tornado Trouble
Apr. 5, 2011—Right now, I’m sitting on my bed with the window open, listening to my summer playlist. I wanted a little break before diving into chemistry for the day, but for some reason, I’m struggling with ignoring the beautiful weather. This is probably due to the fact that yesterday was the complete opposite when I was...
Springtime!
Mar. 23, 2011—When I was picking a college, I barely gave any thought to weather. While I hate the cold, the longest I was ever outside was when I walked from my parking spot into my high school. I figured college would be the same, but, with my parents’ urging, I thought a little more about location...
There’s no such thing as “easing”
Mar. 17, 2011—I hope everyone had or is having a fantastic Spring Break. I went to Washington D.C. for a week as a part of an Alternative Spring Break program, ASB Help! While there we serviced the homeless community at Father McKenna Center at St. Aloysius Catholic Church. During the last two days of the trip, I...
