‘ASB’
Poop ‘n’ Sawdust
Mar. 10, 2014—Over this past Spring Break, instead of spending my week on the shores of Cancun, I spent the week on a farm in Boone, North Carolina in the Appalachian Mountains.
Spring Break and Virginia Indians
Mar. 9, 2014—For spring break this year, I had the opportunity to spend a week at the Monacan tribal center in Amherst, Virginia. The Monacan Indians are an eastern woodlands Siouxan tribe, and today they live around Bear Mountain. "We're here to help spread the knowledge that the Monacans and the other Indian nations are still alive and trying to preserve their culture. We can help educate those around us."
A Different Spring Semester
Nov. 21, 2013—As this semester comes to a close, I thought I'd update y'all about what I'm doing next semester since I won't be at Vandy.
Dizzy Bat, Part 3
Mar. 26, 2013—As you should all know by now, Caitlyn and I are pros at Dizzy Bat...and by that I mean we're great at coaching other people and then laughing when Caitlyn tries (and fails) once a year.
ASBasketball and Tutoring
Mar. 19, 2013—So as I posted before leaving, I spent my Spring Break on an Alternative Spring Break trip called Jungle Gym that went to Kansas City, MO.

ASBest Spring Break
Mar. 12, 2013—This year for spring break I went on Alternative Spring Break to Jackson, Mississippi. It was an incredible week during which I became ASBest friends with 11 new people and learned about the problems facing Jackson.
I Get By With a Little Help from My Friends
Mar. 1, 2013—A huge part of the college experience is the friends you make. Some of them are the long-term kind that will eventually lead distant relatives in the Macarena at your wedding reception. There are also the kind of friends that you had a Statistics class with once, so you awkwardly smile at them whenever you walk past them on the way to class. Regardless, all of the people you invest in and engage with during your college experience are important, and I thought I was done making friends by the end of freshman year. AU CONTRAIRE.
2 Days ’til ASB!
Feb. 28, 2013—On Saturday morning at 8 AM, I will be driving one of two minivans pulling away from Vandyland headed for Kansas City, MO for Spring Break. While KCMO may not sound like the most exotic, or even exciting, Spring Break destination, it is actually going to be one of the best weeks of the year...
Preparing for Spring Break
Feb. 23, 2013—A week from today, I will be on a plane on my way to Los Angeles for my spring break vacation.
What a Fun Weekend in Nashville
Jan. 20, 2013—After two weekends of recruitment, I was looking forward to some free time this weekend. Unfortunately, I've been super busy-but in the good way! It's been a great weekend, and we don't have classes tomorrow because of MLK day!
