Just the Break I Needed
Mar. 12, 2011—When I said goodbye to my friends last Friday, I knew we’d all come back with good stories from our spring break adventures. A bunch of my friends went on ASB (Alternative Spring Break) and travelled to random parts of the country to participate in community service, while another went to the mountains of North...
“Five-year-old-habits” die hard
Feb. 18, 2011—Remember how simple life was when we were five? Wake up, go to school, play, eat lunch, tap a nap (oh, how I miss naps), eat again, play, go home, repeat. It was a simple life, an easy life, but now things are a little bit more complicated.
Valentine’s Day
Feb. 15, 2011—Yesterday was Valentine’s Day and despite its unfortunate nickname of Singles Awareness Day, it was a really fun day for me and my fellow single friends! In my mind, Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be solely about romantic love, but rather spending time with anyone you love, whether friends or family.
Let it snow!
Jan. 25, 2011—As a Florida girl, I don’t have much experience with snow. I’d seen it a few times before coming to Vanderbilt, but this year has been the first time I’ve lived in it. And I love it. Every time I see those flakes cover campus in a soft white blanket, I have to go outside....
Graphs
Jan. 19, 2011—As I browsed the Vanderbilt Admissions pages, blogs, and various resources in a vain search for inspiration, a horrifying fact became apparent. Despite the large number of available lists, links, articles, pictures, and videos, the Vandy Admissions page is home to not a single graph. Zero. ZERO.
First Snow!
Dec. 5, 2010—This morning I was woken up by girls running up and down the hall screaming excitedly. Sunday mornings on campus are usually quiet and slow. I hopped out of bed because I didn’t want to miss anything. It was well worth it because it was SNOWING! The first snow of the season is kind of...
My 18 Thanksgivings
Nov. 18, 2010—Woah it got cold fast in Nashville! It was 75 last week, and now I’m in a sweater and boots! The Holiday season is among us… It is also the season of eating, eating a lot! During this past week I think I have had, or at least had the opportunity to have about 18...
Rains of Spring
Apr. 28, 2010—Rites of Spring was not ideal by anybody’s means…weather-wise. Apparently it has rained for the past two years leading up to this year’s Rites… Between cancellations of bands (yes Passion Pit cancelled on us because of sickness) and delays because of monsoon-like rain, it seemed like things were going to be a disaster. The show...
The Beauty of Campus
Apr. 12, 2010—Looking ahead at the next ten days – an average temp of 80 degrees with sunny skies! I really should start taking pictures of the views around campus. Some trees are starting to bloom and everything is just gorgeous. Everybody around campus is trying to find a way to take their work outside. Around campus...
Even Nashville Loves Ice
Mar. 22, 2010—Nashville, notorious for it’s country music has another side to it, an icy, cold, ferocious side only unleashed at the Bridgestone Arena when the Nashville Predators take to the ice. Our beloved team here in Nashville is making a playoff push and they are striving to find their place amongst the Western conference’s elite. We...
