‘Move-In’
Day One.
Jun. 30, 2015—Summer is in full swing and I miss my Vanderbilt so much that I’m not sure what to do with myself. Luckily, I have all of you amazing Inside ‘Dores readers, who have been sending me awesome emails that give me permission to ramble about my school, even when I’m on break (keep them coming...
Packing for Vandy 101
Jun. 24, 2015—There are a lot of things to check-off from your to-do list before arriving on campus, and packing for college was definitely on top of the list. Living in a dorm room is not quite the same as living in your own house. While you do want to make sure that you buy and pack...
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.
Senior Beginnings
Aug. 20, 2013—Two days ago, I moved into a residence hall at Vanderbilt for the last time, and I feel pretty conflicted about it. On one hand, there are a ton of things that I’m looking forward to in this new school year, but on the other hand, it’s my last year here at Vanderbilt and I’m not...
Legitimately Screaming at the First-Years
Aug. 19, 2013—Sometimes, it’s good to yell at people. In the instance of Move-In Day and the Founder’s Walk, we were very much encouraged to make as much noise as possible to cheer on the Class of 2017!
My Last Move Crew!
Aug. 18, 2013—I woke up at 5:45 am yesterday…”Why?” you may ask. I would only do this because I love Vandy so much, and because the Class of 2017 needed help moving in!
Moving in for the Last Time
Aug. 15, 2013—Today, my dad and I left Miami Beach bright and early. We were planning to drive to Chattanooga and spend the night there before picking up my mom and sister at the airport early Friday morning. As it turns out, we were in Chattanooga by 4:30 PM and we decided to drive the final two...
My Yearly Arm Workout
Aug. 21, 2012—Being a soccer player, I don’t do much in the way of arm-muscle-building. I often refer to my arms as “limp noodles.” I’ve come to think of move-in as my yearly arm workout, and this year, I got an extra dose of arm exercise.
We’re All In This Together
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.
