The Radio City Rockettes!
Dec. 5, 2012—Last weekend I fulfilled a childhood dream: I witnessed an absolutely incredible performance by the Radio City Rockettes, right here in Nashville, at the Grand Ole Opry. To say my mind was blown would be an understatement. But this tale deserves some prefacing…. Ever since I was a little girl, every Thanksgiving Day I would...
Vegetarian @ Vanderbilt
Dec. 3, 2012—By chance it happened to be a vegetarian/vegan special dinner at Rand. Red pepper hummus, pita bread, some vegetable thing, some mushroom rice, african spiced carrots, tofu parm, squash soup.
Nashville is Growing!
Nov. 20, 2012—This year, I live in the Carmichael Towers right on West End allll the way up on the top floor. The 14th floor (or the “Penthouse” as my friends and I jokingly refer to it) has given me a great view of the city of Nashville this year, and if there’s one thing I’ve noticed...
NashTrash Murder Mystery Tour
Nov. 9, 2012—I know that I always talk about CityVU because it is one of my favorite student groups here on campus. Last night, CityVU rented out the NashTrash bus for a private Murder Mystery tour. Due to last minutes cancellations, my room mate and I got to go!
A Taste of Home
Oct. 21, 2012—This weekend, my best friend from home visited me at school! She goes to Tulane University, so the trip was a 90-minute direct flight. Here is a recap of our weekend!
Once Upon A Dream: My Night with The Sleeping Beauty
Oct. 21, 2012—This past Saturday, a friend from high school (and Belmont student), Emily, and I went to see The Sleeping Beauty at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center (TPAC). It was put on by the Nashville Ballet and was done spectacularly! This was my first ballet, so I was beyond excited!
The Belcourt and Samsara
Oct. 17, 2012—Last night, one of my best friends and I made the 10 minute walk from main campus to the Belcourt Theater in Hillsboro Village. The Belcourt is Nashville’s only non-profit movie theater, that features independent films, as well as music performances, theater, and guest lectures in their 2-cinema building. I have been to the Belcourt...
Family Weekend at VU!
Oct. 15, 2012—This past weekend at Vanderbilt was family weekend, and I was fortunate enough to be visited by both my mom and dad, as well as my older brother Nick. Unfortunatly, my little sister Tals could not make the treck down to TN because of school and soccer but nevertheless my family and I had a...
The Amazing Race: Nashville
Oct. 12, 2012—During my fall break, I took part in something called the "Oyster Race." I had no idea what it was when I agreed to partake but my friends had told me it was going to be fun and it was for a good cause. And so, I signed up and it was quite... an Amazing Race.
Why I applied to Vanderbilt
Oct. 8, 2012—Time really does fly! It seems like just yesterday that I was applying to college. I know that it is an extremely stressful time for high school seniors and their families. I hope that my reasons for applying to Vanderbilt can help you all decide to apply to Vanderbilt, or at the very least, figure...
