‘College Life’
Thinking Positive

Post-Concert update on the Melodores
Apr. 23, 2010—This was the big week for the Melodores. We had rehearsal every day leading up to our concert (which was yesterday).

Joining Campus Crusade (Written 4/4/2010)
Apr. 12, 2010—Today for Easter I went to Campus Crusade‘s sunrise service on Love Hill. It was beautiful – the view of the city of Nashville, the friends, the rising of the gleaming sun. As a Junior, it’s hard to join a new student organization. It’s uncomfortable. Sure, you may have a few friends in there, but...
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.

Apr. 11, 2010—PART TWO Hillsboro Village – A unique part of Nashville is located right outside Peabody campus.

These Are a Few of My Favorite (Nashville) Things…
Mar. 23, 2010—PART ONE Centennial Park – Right across the street from Vanderbilt is Nashville’s best urban park. It centers around a replica of the Parthenon (with a huge statue of Athena inside, as well as rotating art exhibits) There is a great mile loop around trees and duck ponds for avid runners, and lots of green...
“Cowboy, Take Me Away” – Thoughts after Spring Break
Mar. 22, 2010—(In response to “Thoughts Before Spring Break”) It’s just about a week after Spring break and I’m sitting in Rand dining hall with three new friends friends – people that I hadn’t known at the beginning of the month. This is the third time in one week my Alternative Spring Break group has hung out....
School Spirit
Feb. 18, 2010—Growing up a New Yorker college athletics were sort of an unknown phenomenon to me. I followed the bowl games when the end of December rolled around, and always got into March Madness, but outside of those two big events I barely followed college sports.
