TDS 2019 – Reflections
Nov. 14, 2019—The Diwali Showcase (TDS) is a massive cultural showcase put on by the student organization, South Asian Cultural Exchange (SACE). It’s a super cool event because students from various backgrounds, not just South Asian, come together to learn a dance, increase their cultural understanding, and perform in Langford Auditorium.

My Junior Year Living Experience
Sep. 23, 2019—“I have 9 roommates, 5 of which are guys.” Most students at other campuses are very surprised to hear the statement above but at Vanderbilt, this is a unique living option for sophomores, juniors, and seniors. I live in a Mayfield, which is a small lodge with 2 floors, 1 kitchen, and a common space....
Snow Day Shenanigans
Jan. 22, 2018—Last Friday, Vanderbilt cancelled classes due to weather for only the sixth time since 1873 when the school was founded. Being from Georgia, I did not expect us to get much snow at all even though all of Middle Tennessee cancelled school. However, at about 3pm on that Friday, snow quickly began to fall from...
Snow!!
Jan. 17, 2018—The first couple weeks of the new semester have been anything but ordinary… There’s snow time like snow! Friday’s classes were cancelled due to icy roads and below freezing temperatures, and since we were already having Monday off for MLK Jr. Day, we got to have a 4 day weekend! I’ll say, it was a...
Back in the Swing of Things
Sep. 2, 2017—We’ve only been on campus for 2 weeks, but it feels like forever. I don’t mean that as a bad thing. It’s an awesome thing to feel as if you’ve never quite left somewhere. For me, this means somewhere is like home. And definitely, coming back to Vandy as a sophomore feels like coming home,...
The Suite Life of Chaffin 115
Nov. 25, 2014—It's the Thanksgiving season, so I thought I might write a little about how thankful I am for my suities. The formation of our suite came together rather haphazardly, mostly because we had never all met each other before, but now we are lovely, wonderful friends. Feasting together during our suitie blunches, which is like a brunch except with more of a lunch feel, the four of us have become a close quartet of housemates.
A Crêpe-y Kind of Day
Nov. 23, 2014—Celebrations were to be had after the our last classes on Friday. DeSano's, The Red Bicycle, the Nashville Farmer's Market, and running up Capitol Hill were all achieved. Just casually starting off Thanksgiving Break with mere awesomeness.
Corn Mazing
Nov. 5, 2014—This past Halloween, I was able to combine my two loves of corn mazes and petting zoos by going to a place called: Shuckles. Shuckles is a corn maze located in Gallatin, Tennessee which is about 40 minutes away from Vanderbilt’s campus. Although its a bit far away, its totally worth the drive since corn...
So Nashville: Full Moon Pickin’ Party
Sep. 8, 2014—The finest bluegrass in all the land is found under the full moon. Yes indeed, a pure Tennessee treasure is the Pickin' Party, held in the summer moonlight at the Percy Warner Park.
Social Media Loves Me
Aug. 18, 2014—Boy, was it fun moving in all the first-years at Commons on Saturday, though I'm sniffing a bit because that was my last time helping to move-in the freshies.
