O Food, Where Art Thou?
Aug. 28, 2012—Bacon-wrapped teriyaki chicken, veggie kabobs marinated in lemon and basil, red velvet cake, and Oreo balls, ice cream chocolate chip cookies?!

The Ladies at Last Drop Coffee Shop!
Aug. 27, 2012—I’m sure my other posts have echoed this time and time again, but the people at Vanderbilt add another dimension to the school experience. Case in point: The Ladies of the Last Drop Coffee Shop Now, this may not be news to people who frequent the small, modern-with-a-timeless-flair coffee shop located in the basement of...
Visiting Vandy
Aug. 22, 2012—My friend Deanna called me on the way to class this morning because she realized it was the first science class she’s taken without me in over a year. Luckily, our separation anxiety will be put on hold this weekend when I drive to Vandy to see everyone!
The Downhill Slide
Aug. 21, 2012—As Victoria said, after tomorrow we’ll be done with more of our undergraduate career than we have left. I spent today enjoying my last day of freedom before classes begin and trying not to think too hard about how old I feel.

Aug. 19, 2012—On Friday, the upperclassmen ventured out of Main Campus, ready and eager to unite for the Common(s) cause of Move-In! We received half sheets of rules, which taught us things like, “Hangovers aren’t fun at 6:15 A.M.” which was our appallingly early check-in time, and gave us pictured instructions like, “Squat to pick up boxes,” which almost inspired my friends and I to create a goofy how-to video. After a few motivational speeches from the Heads of Houses, we stampeded the Commons Centers to pick up our awesome Move Crew shirts.
More Nashville Adventures!
Aug. 19, 2012—Well readers, I'm officially moved in, my mom has left, and I've moved in a whole bunch of first years along with some friends. 2 out of my other 3 Chaffin-mates have moved in (stay tuned for a tour), and I'm starting to feel nice and settled here at Vandy. I cannot believe school starts in a few days, so instead of touching on that, I'm going to tell you about a few more adventures my mom and I had before she left!
Good Eats Part 2
Aug. 15, 2012—We all know I like to eat, and since I’ve already written about my favorite places on campus, today I’m going to write about my favorite restaurants off-campus. Most of these are within walking distance of campus and are great places to stop by with the fam (like the night before Move-In Day!).
A Final Video Chat
Aug. 12, 2012—A couple of nights ago, Ashlin and I finished up our summer “book club” with a much-overdue Skype session and discussion of the end of The Shining. (read all about that endeavor here.)
Let the Countdown Begin
Aug. 9, 2012—I finished my summer classes about a week ago, it is now August, and the countdown to returning to Vanderbilt has begun!
Vandy Chills
Aug. 8, 2012—Want another reason Vanderbilt is awesome? Today, they had their annual “Vandy Chills” day where they serve free ice cream to Vandy employees.
