Panhellenic Preview Day, Take Two
Nov. 7, 2011—Almost one year ago, I blogged about Panhellenic Preview Day, since I was interested in joining a sorority. This past Saturday was Panhellenic Preview Day again, but this time I was on the other side, talking mostly to freshman girls planning on going through recruitment in the spring.
The Plight of the Hungry Sophomore
Aug. 24, 2011—Vanderbilt is a lot like the witch in Hansel and Gretel. When first you arrive as a freshman, Vanderbilt (heretofore known as “she“) begins to fatten you up, stuffing you with both numerous orientation and get-to-know-you events and a wealth of free food. The meal plan does not activate until the Monday before classes start,...
First Year Advice
Apr. 30, 2011—Since I’m almost done with my first year at Vandy (STILL can’t believe it), I figured I would give any high school seniors out there my two cents about freshman year, more specifically, what NOT to freak out about:
Sociology 235
Apr. 26, 2011—This semester, I’ve had the opportunity to take Sociology 235, which focuses on Contemporary American Society. We’ve studied a variety of topics, ranging from the economic crisis to parenting in today’s society.
Easter “Family” Dinner
Apr. 25, 2011—Yesterday was Easter, and because most of us will be leaving Vandy in a week or so, not many people went home for the holiday. That’s not to say we didn’t take a break from studying and spend it with loved ones, though.
Just Another Vandy Weekend
Apr. 12, 2011—Weekends at Vanderbilt are never short of things to do, and this weekend was no exception. On Friday night, I went with some friends to an ice rink in Franklin to play broomball with a group from Rolling Hills Community Church. I had gone last semester, and it was so much fun, so I was...
Dinner in the U.K.!
Mar. 27, 2011—Last Wednesday, I ate dinner in the United Kingdom…without having to leave Vanderbilt campus.
Yet Another Spring Break Option- SPOTS!
Mar. 22, 2011—As you’ve probably discovered reading through various Inside ‘Dores posts, Vanderbilt has a ton of Spring Break options. Alternative Spring Break (ASB), is one of the most common, but definitely not the only service trip available for Vanderbilt students. I decided this year to go with Vanderbilt’s Baptist Collegiate Ministry to Tampa, Florida for their...
The Green Wagon
Mar. 2, 2011—Last Wednesday, I had the opportunity to go to east Nashville with the members of my commons seminar. The seminar I’m taking this semester is called “Exploring Creative Lives”, and we’ve been discussing creativity and how it plays out into the lifestyles of people and here at Vanderbilt.
My Friend Sarah
Feb. 20, 2011—Unfortunately, I have no interesting stories about myself, so I figured I would tell you about a friend of mine.
