My Commons Seminar: How a One-Hour Course Changed My Life
Apr. 13, 2014—An overview of Commons Seminars and my fabulous experience in one this spring.
Guest Lecture at the Curb Center
Feb. 18, 2014—This year, the Communication Studies department moved to the Curb Center. I am not going to lie. When I first heard that my classes were neither going to be on main campus nor on commons, but rather in a totally separate location, I was pretty upset. I had no desire to walk almost a mile each way to and from class. I also feared that I would always be late for lunch plans. But, the new space is definitely worth it. In addition is new classrooms, the Communications office suite actually houses the entire department. There is also a great auditorium where the department can host speakers, which brings me to the point of this post.
The Alexander Technique
Feb. 9, 2014—This semester, I am enrolled in a class through the Blair School of Music. Blair is in the back corner of campus, so before this semester, I had really only been inside the building once or twice. I figured there was no time like my last semester to explore a new facet of campus.
“Don’t let schooling interfere with your education”- Mark Twain
Dec. 9, 2013—This happened quite a while ago but I feel compelled to speak about it because of the thoughts it evoked from me. I am talking about choosing next semester’s classes.

Regionals Wrap-up
Nov. 27, 2013—Approximately one month ago, the women’s club soccer team packed up our suitcases and headed to Winston-Salem, North Carolina for the NIRSA Regional tournament. Going to this tournament meant that we’d miss one day of classes, since it started on a Friday. I’ve said it in blog posts before (and I’ll say it again when...
The Cradle Will Rock- VUT’s Production
Nov. 8, 2013—I really really like Vanderbilt University Theater. I only started going to their productions last year, and I regret not going sooner. Vanderbilt students are so talented and creative! Also, the all VUT productions are FREE for Vanderbilt undergraduates. That was all the convincing I needed. Last night, I attending The Cradle Will Rock with a friend from class. It is a depression-era musical and I enjoyed it.
Trick or Treat with Greeks and Athletes
Nov. 5, 2013—Halloween is already a great holiday since it involves so much candy, but throw in cute kids in costumes and you've got the perfect night.
FALLing in love with Vanderbilt
Oct. 28, 2013—Sorry for the tacky title, but it gets my point across: I LOVE fall in Nashville. Here are a few reasons, complete with pumpkin carving, Halloween and the weather.
The First VUT Play of the Season
Sep. 26, 2013—Tonight, I attended opening night of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead performed by Vanderbilt University Theater. I try to go to as many plays as I can but I made a special effort to attend this one for two reasons. First, later in this semester, I will be reading the play in one of my classes. Second, two of the actors in the play are in that same class.

Sep. 21, 2013—Answering the real question at the root of my family's inquiries: how do I know that I'm in the right place here at Vandy?
