‘College Life’
Spring Awakening
Feb. 27, 2011—This past weekend, my favorite musical was in town: Spring Awakening. Being the devoted fan I am, I saw it twice in less than 24 hours. I know that sounds a little crazy/stalker-like, so let me explain.
Are You Ready for Some Football?
Feb. 25, 2011—Ok, so maybe I’m a little early, but I am getting excited for next football season. Wednesday night, new Head Football Coach, James Franklin, was invited to speak at Gillette Gelato. Gillette Gelato, held every Wednesday night, is a chance for the residents of Gillette to socialize with each other and their residential staff, over...
The Nashville Intercollegiate Activism Conference
Feb. 21, 2011—Last Thursday, the Vanderbilt Political Review (VPR) hosted the Nashville Intercollegiate Activism Conference (NIAC). Being the treasurer for VPR, I was somewhat active in putting on this conference and was really excited to see it finally happen.
My Friend Sarah
Feb. 20, 2011—Unfortunately, I have no interesting stories about myself, so I figured I would tell you about a friend of mine.
Mammoth Cave
Feb. 18, 2011—Last weekend I took an excursion about two hours away from Vanderbilt campus to Mammoth Cave National Park. Located in Kentucky, the park contains the world’s longest known cave system that stretches over 390 miles.
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.

Feb. 14, 2011—What were you doing Thursday night? Surely you weren’t as cold as some Vanderbilt students were who decided to take a camping trip. Shortly after Vanderbilt’s victory over Alabama on Thursday night, a few students started setting up tents in preparation for arguably one of the most important games of the Vanderbilt season; the Kentucky...
Family
Feb. 14, 2011—There comes a time in every college student’s life when they realize that they have a person or group of people that makes them feel completely at home. This could be a roommate, a friend group, an extracurricular organization, a professor, or even a particularly friendly janitor. For me, it’s the Original Cast.
Nashvegas
Feb. 13, 2011—Downtown Nashville is famous for it’s neon lights, live music, crazy bachelorettes and quirky regulars. Vanderbilt is located 1.3 miles uptown (aka a four minute cab ride) from this legendary strip of southern goodness. This past Saturday night, my friends and I decided that it was time for a taste of good ol’ Nashvegas.
The College Freshman’s Guide to Tough Weeks
Feb. 11, 2011—It’s that time of year when all my classes are picking up and things are starting to pile up on one another. The beginning of this week happened to be particularly bad. I had a busy weekend, including helping put on a Super Bowl party, so I knew I wouldn’t have much time to prepare...
