‘Freshman Life’
Class of 2017 – What Will You Be?
Apr. 1, 2013—So, you’re in. Congratulations! You’ve overcome some of the toughest admissions odds in the nation to earn that shiny brochure and the acceptance letter you’ll hold onto for your scrapbook (if you’re into scrapbooking). Now that you’ve scaled that mountain, though, and the path to Vanderbilt is fully paved ahead of you… why come?
Why Vanderbilt?
Mar. 26, 2013—As regular decision letters were mailed yesterday, I am sure that this is the question on so many young minds (and on the minds of a few older parents as well). Though I can't answer this question for you, I can give you a little bit of insight into my own personal answer.
Bringing the Music to Music City
Mar. 11, 2013—With a few tricks up my sleeve, I managed to score the gig of a lifetime for my next three years at Vandy.
It’s All (Relational)
Oct. 11, 2012—Happy October everyone! With another Fall Break in the books and school back in full swing, I thought I’d take a quick second to touch on a cornerstone of college that often goes taken for granted: relationships. This past Fall Break, I had the wonderful opportunity to spend some time with my family in addition...
Hoedown Throwdown
Oct. 3, 2012—Last week, my friend Monica asked me, “Hey, do you want to get off campus? Come to Cru Fall Getaway!” Even though I wasn’t a member of Cru, I was excited hop out of the Vandy Bubble for a weekend and had lots of fun with Capture the Flag, a hoedown, and making new friends!
Farm to Fork Dinner
Sep. 26, 2012—I had been raving about the annual Farm to Fork dinner to my friends, checking the Common Place website since the beginning of the year to make sure I didn't miss the RSVP and badgering them all to sign up for this no-caloric-regrets-because-it-is-just-that-good meal.
Central Library Shenanigans
Sep. 12, 2012—One of my first experiences at the Central Library became an epic endeavor in search of a book.
Student Org. Fair
Aug. 22, 2012—Welcome back! In preparation for the new school year, don’t forget the most exciting part — the Student Organization Fair! It is going to take place on Friday August 24th outside of the Commons Center from 3-6pm. Each year, over 100 of Vanderbilt’s student organizations set up booths to show the incoming freshmen and transfer...
First Tour of the Year!
Aug. 21, 2012—Being a junior means that I am also a “veteran guide” which sounds awesome and lets me begin giving tours as soon as I get back on campus, which is what I did today!
It’s almost time!
Aug. 21, 2012—The few days before school begins are always a little crazy–on Saturday I moved in a whole lot of first years (and was a firsthand witness to Ann’s great enthusiasm). The rest of the day was spent recovering and catching up with some friends and then trekking back to Commons for the Protestant worship service...
