What Will You Be?
Apr. 7, 2013—Today, I provide you with part 3 of the series inspired by Nathan. I suppose I should start in the same way as the other two. Congratulations to the admitted students of the Class of 2017. You guys are so talented and amazing. I am sure that you have heard this millions of times, but I would have NEVER gotten in if I had applied this year. I hope that you choose to attend Vanderbilt. I absolutely could not imagine myself anywhere else. And so now I ask you, what will you be?
#vu2017
Mar. 28, 2013—The excitement is tangible, dear readers, as acceptance letters have gone out to regular decision applicants this past Monday. You might think this doesn't affect the general population here at Vanderbilt or that we current students are long past the world of admissions and don't keep up with the news--but oh how wrong you'd be!
Spontaneous Goodness: SEC Men’s Basketball Final Four
Mar. 18, 2013—This weekend was one for the books. Friday night I planted myself on my bed to watch the SEC Men’s Basketball tournament coverage on my seldom-used television after a day of relaxation and running at the park. It was the hour of greatness: after a season full of “almosts” and “could-haves,” the Vanderbilt Men’s basketball...
College=Power
Feb. 6, 2013—College is a time of empowerment. I think at our ages, between 18-22, we truly believe we make a difference So when we support the Children's Hospital with the annual Dance Marathon, when we go to National Coming Out Week events, or broke the world record last year for most vaccine shots in one place in eight hours for the Flulapalooza. And even if Vandy is still growing in its football program, it doesn't mean we can't fill a stadium because we don't have school spirit.
Lights on the Lawn
Oct. 11, 2012—Next Friday there won’t be a single fraternity party–something almost unheard of for a Vanderbilt weekend. Instead, the Greek community is coming together to present Lights on the Lawn, a concert series benefiting the recovery effort of one of our own.
Almost back to the grind…
Aug. 21, 2012—This post comes to you from the common room of my apartment-style dorm back at Vandy! I moved in on Saturday, and in true Vanderbilt style, a plethora of things have happened since.
A Whole New World
Aug. 12, 2012—What to expect on Move-In Day! Less then a week! I'm bouncing off the walls with excitement for (or with!) you!
Derby Days
Mar. 29, 2012—It’s that time of year again…Derby Days! Every year, Sigma Chi holds a philanthropic competition between the sororities on campus, donating all the proceeds to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (so far the total is above $36,000!).
Why Vanderbilt?
Mar. 27, 2012—Every once in a while I reminisce back to those wonderful (ha!) months of high school during which I googled different universities every day, wrote personal statements, and stressed about SAT scores…maybe more so now because soon I will have to do the same thing to apply to graduate school…and I remember discussions I had...
Slowing down a bit
Feb. 13, 2012—So after a truly memorable weekend with watching our ladies’ basketball team beat the Lady Vols, hosting “ESPN College Gameday“, and putting up an unbelievable fight against UK in the men’s basketball game Saturday night–all on little to no sleep–a lazy Sunday was much needed.
