‘off campus’
Last Bash!
Apr. 17, 2011—Last Thursday night, AOII had our Last Bash party to say goodbye to the seniors (I realize I’ve blogged about two of the three parties we’ve had this semester which might give you guys the wrong impression, but I promise we’re about a lot more than that. We have our big philanthropy event this Wednesday!).
Free Ice Cream for Everybody!
Apr. 12, 2011—Today, April 12, 2011, Ben and Jerry’s celebrated its ‘Free Cone Day.’ They thanked their customers for thirty-three great years of business with free ice cream for everyone!
Pancakes at the Pantry! (Courtesy of CityVU)
Apr. 9, 2011—I just left Pancake Pantry. I had a 4:15 reservation. You are probably wondering how this is possible when the restaurant closes at 4. Not only this, but even when the restaurant is open, they do not take reservations. People line up around the block to eat at the Pantry.
Habitat for Humanity
Mar. 26, 2011—At 5:30 this morning, just as my roommate was getting into bed (I think that she is nocturnal), I woke up to go build a house with Vanderbilt’s Habitat for Humanity. On my walk from the Commons to the CPH (Community Partnership House) at 6 am, I was definitely second-guessing myself. Why did I wake...
A Magic Cool Bus Ride to the Heights
Mar. 25, 2011—Last night, I was lucky enough to win a spot on the Magic Cool Bus. The Magic Cool Bus takes seven trips throughout the year to places like Graceland and Mammoth Cave. The trips are only open to first-year students and each trip is sponsored by a different Commons house. Last night’s Magic Cool Bus...
Spring Break Paintballing
Mar. 19, 2011—Lucky for us student-athletes who are in season, we get to have Vanderbilt’s campus all to ourselves during spring break!!! Never mind getting tan on a cruise through the Caribbean and eating good food at Mardi Gras, we get to enjoy bathrooms all to ourselves and experience no lines at bread and co, no waiting...
Just the Break I Needed
Mar. 12, 2011—When I said goodbye to my friends last Friday, I knew we’d all come back with good stories from our spring break adventures. A bunch of my friends went on ASB (Alternative Spring Break) and travelled to random parts of the country to participate in community service, while another went to the mountains of North...
Class helped me meet a celebrity…
Mar. 10, 2011—Piggybacking off of what fellow blogger Lindsey Rothrock talked about in her post “Homework: Go to a Concert”, I have been in three music classes (American Music, African Music, and Blues) where I have had to attend concerts and write small papers on them. These active assignments encourage students to explore Nashville for what it...
Spring Awakening
Feb. 27, 2011—This past weekend, my favorite musical was in town: Spring Awakening. Being the devoted fan I am, I saw it twice in less than 24 hours. I know that sounds a little crazy/stalker-like, so let me explain.
Good Eatin’
Feb. 26, 2011—My parents come visit to watch almost every one of my home lacrosse games. Because of the scheduling for nonstop flights from Philadelphia, they usually spend the night before in the Marriot right near campus. Lucky for me, this means indulging myself in delicious meals. Among one of my favorite places to dine is Monell’s...
