‘College Life’
Guest Lecturer
Oct. 23, 2012—Today, in Rhetoric of the American Experience 1865-1945, we had a guest lecturer. Professor J.

A Taste of Home
Oct. 21, 2012—This weekend, my best friend from home visited me at school! She goes to Tulane University, so the trip was a 90-minute direct flight. Here is a recap of our weekend!
A Commodore Victory!
Oct. 20, 2012—Hello again from one of the biggest Commodore fans you’ll meet :) As I mentioned in my last post, this Saturday our boys took on Auburn in what was a very exciting game!!
Adopted for Family Weekend
Oct. 17, 2012—Last weekend, I went home to spend fall break with my family. This weekend was Vanderbilt Family Weekend, and because I have three exams this week and I just saw my family, they decided to forego parents weekend this year. I do love when my parents visit me here at school, but this year it just wasn't going to work out. I hope that you aren't feeling sorry for me, though. This weekend I was adopted by my friends' families.
To the Reds!

Fourth Fridays Return!
Oct. 8, 2012—If you all weren't aware, I'm a pretty big Melodores fan. I've written about their performances before, and I attended the ICCA South Semifinals which were held here at Vandy. I'm also a pretty big fan of supporting fellow bloggers in their endeavors and week from this past Friday I was able to combine both of those!
Fall Break in the Smokies
Oct. 8, 2012—Keeping with my 3 year tradition of spending Fall Break leading an Outdoor Recreation trip to the Smokey Mountains to go backpacking, I headed out this past weekend with a van full of new faces and came back with a van full of new friends. It may sound cheesy, but it’s true. There’s just no...
