Facing Empty Spaces
Apr. 15, 2012—In addition to attending The Liar (and organizing the talkback!) last weekend, I also saw the latest Original Cast show!
The Stegemans Reunite! Things to See and Do in Nashville
Apr. 12, 2012—My family came to visit last weekend!! It was a bit of an impromptu visit, but I haven’t seen my family since Spring Break, so I was missing them dearly. AND, they haven’t been back to Nashville since move-in day, so this was a momentous occasion indeed! Over the months I have compiled a basic...
Hellooooo Blog World!
Dec. 24, 2011—Hi y’all! I took the semester off of blogging…. I had way too much going on, as I have often admitted!

Dec. 19, 2011—Time flies. It seems like just yesterday that I was packing my stuff and heading to Nashville to begin my second year. Today, I am sitting in the beautiful Miami sun (sorry to brag) relaxing after my most amazing (and most challenging) semester at Vanderbilt.

Busting through the Finish Line; or, My End of the Year Wrap Up
Dec. 9, 2011—This semester has undoubtedly been one for the books. Multiple changes of majors, a complete change of requirements, dropped courses, favorite courses, and another finished semester!
Christmastime is here!
Dec. 9, 2011—I love the holiday season–despite the fact it means finals are here, it also means that lots of fun things are happening around the Vanderbilt campus and everything is decorated and cheery! Here are a few of my favorite things about Christmastime at Vanderbilt:
The Sound of Silence
Dec. 9, 2011—“The Sound of Silence” is a classic folk song of the 60s written by Paul Simon of Simon & Garfunkel as a response to the 1963 assassination of John F. Kennedy about the lack of real communication. While its original connotation is a serious one, I have found in my academic overload-related stupor that one...
