‘College Life’
New Classes at the New Rec
Feb. 2, 2014—Part of the reason for my sparse blogging is that I have been spending a lot of time at the Student Rec. Quite frankly, in my previous three and a half years at Vanderbilt, I generally despised going to the rec. I love working out, but the rec was old and smelly, and there were...
The Final 100 Days
Jan. 31, 2014—Well, just like that, January is just about over, and, today marks only 100 days left until graduation. I am in denial, and I would say that most of my friends are right there with me. In honor (mourning) of this special day, the Senior Class Fund, held an entire week of festivities, culminating in...
Hey, guess what’s great? Semester eight!
Jan. 19, 2014—It only took two weeks for me to remember I had a whole lot of blogging to do. And of course, I can't miss out on my very last classic semester preview post. Yes, that's right dear readers. I am already two weeks into my final semester of my undergraduate career. I am in a constant fight with panic and hyperventilation.

Jan. 18, 2014—After a long day I got to listen to a wonderful band in my American Popular Music class.
I went bowling!
Jan. 7, 2014—This past Saturday, my sister and I met up with some of my friends in Birmingham, AL to watch the Commodores take on the University of Houston Cougars at the BBVA Compass Bowl. I had never been to an away game before, although I guess this was technically considered a neutral field. It was the perfect ending to my last football game as a student.
Getting Home
Dec. 14, 2013—One thing I’ve learned in my four years of traveling back home from Nashville to Naples is that Southwest creates some weird flight patterns. Fourteen hours is quite the drive though, and since I don’t have a car, flying is generally the best option. There’s no direct flights to the airport closest to my house,...
Tour Talks
Dec. 14, 2013—Today, Caitlyn and I gave two tours. Two tours in one day is definitely not the norm, but it got me thinking about the questions I hear most often on a tour. Those are very likely questions that you, dear readers, might have as well, so I figured I'd answer a few!
First Semester… First Steps
Dec. 14, 2013—I was going through some of my old family photos that I brought from Syria and I came across one that documents my first steps. Now that my first semester at Vanderbilt is over, this inspired me to look back at all the thing I did for the first time in the past three months.
My Winter Break To-Do List
Dec. 14, 2013—Winter Break is literally the best when you are in college. The semester is over and so you have NOTHING academic to do. Now that I have been home for 36 hours, and have slept for about 20 of them, I am ready to rejoin society and start having fun! Here is my to- do list:
The Drive to Miami- Part 2
Dec. 14, 2013—In honor of the one year anniversary of my sister's acceptance to Vanderbilt, she decided to share her thoughts on her first semester of college. In case you have forgotten the story of her decision, click here to refresh your memory.
