‘off campus’
Time for a break!
Oct. 3, 2012—This has been, by far, one of my busiest semesters here at Vandy, but I love everything I’m involved in too much to complain.
Hiking and the School Play
Sep. 30, 2012—Yesterday, I went for a lovely hike at Radnor Lake and then came back to campus to see VUT's production of Dead Man's Cell Phone.
Live on the Green
Sep. 28, 2012—Nashville isn’t adoringly nicknamed “Music City” for nothing. The city has a plethora of music venues, outdoor festivals, and up-and-coming bands. Whether you’re in town for a day, a weekend, or 4 years of college, you should be getting a taste of the country, folk, rock, punk, or whatever your ears and your heart desire.
The Beginning of Fall, Nissans, and Foodtrucks
Sep. 26, 2012—Well, it is official folks. It is SWEATER SEASON! As much as I loved the summer weather, I am ready for things to cool down a little bit. Not a fan of sweating when I am walking to class–bleh. In honor of the beginning of this wonderful season, a couple lovely ladies of the Catholic FOCUS...
Getaway for a Day
Sep. 25, 2012—This time of the semester is stressful. This coming week I have two papers, a test, a quiz and a whole host of miscellaneous tasks for group projects and extra curriculars. That’s why I was so glad this past weekend to get off campus for a few days for a BCM retreat at Deer Run...
Race in Review: Part Two
Sep. 24, 2012—As Victoria said in part one of Race in Review, last Saturday we took on Challenge Nation. Going into the race, I was a firm believer of the "just have fun" attitude--my goal was to finish the race, and to have fun doing it.
Habitat for Humanity Builds
Sep. 24, 2012—One of the student organizations I have become passionate about during my time at Vanderbilt is Habitat for Humanity. I went from being on the Junior Exec Board to becoming a fundraising chair and running the Commodore Trot 5k for two years, to finally becoming one of the co-presidents. It may not be your favorite...
Parks and Rec
Sep. 10, 2012—This weekend, I took advantage of the BEAUTIFUL weather and decided to experience Nashville's parks. Believe it or not, there are so many parks around here. There are not only hiking trails, water falls, and horseback riding, but also outside amphitheaters, playgrounds and museums.
What a Great Weekend
Sep. 3, 2012—I just had such an amazing weekend. There was so much going on, both on and off campus. I tried to partake in as much as possible.
ORC Staff Training
Sep. 3, 2012—Each semester the Outdoor Recreation Center staff go on a training trip to hone our soft and hard skills in the wilderness. This semester, we had the extreme honor of participating the second ever Adventure Race! It tested our ability to orienteer, use gear, and work as a team to hike and then canoe from...
