Vanderbilt and the SEC
Oct. 11, 2018—Recently, I was speaking with a friend about why she chose to attend Vanderbilt. She gave an answer that I really hadn’t thought of before- she liked the sports scene that Vandy had to offer. While I was initially confused about this statement (especially as I’m not the most athletic or sports-oriented person), reflecting on...
Thanksgiving in Dixie
Dec. 7, 2015—One of my favorite things about Vanderbilt (other than, like, eight million other things—including, but not limited to, Grins Nutella paninis, really fat squirrels, and the fact that I’m currently wearing Nike shorts in December) is that we get a full week off for Thanksgiving break. This break comes just about two weeks before finals,...
The City. The Degree. The SEC.
Dec. 1, 2015—How growing up in a family of college football fanatics paired with my desire to go to top university to bring me, and bring many other SEC loving students, here to Vanderbilt.

On Thursday, August 29th, Vanderbilt Football starts off the SEC season (greatest conference in the country) with a Home game against Ole Miss. James Franklin has announced that the game will be a black-out. How cool is that stadium...
Bringing in the Best
Jan. 31, 2013—With our charismatic leader, James Franklin, entering his third year with the reigns of Vanderbilt Football, we take a look at his current recruiting success.
Hanging Out with the SEC
Jan. 22, 2013—The title of this post might lead you to think that I am about to tell you something about sports. Well, my friend, I must inform you that you are unfortunately incorrect, because though the SEC is a classification typically associated with sports, this weekend consisted of my journey to another SEC school to meet with students from other BCMs (Baptist Collegiate Ministries).
FOOTBALL
Aug. 24, 2011—I love sports. When I was younger, my dad would quiz me, on the way to swim practice, about football, baseball, and hockey teams. We would play “What, Where”, where he would say the team and I would have to name the city, and vice versa. I got to know all of the teams pretty...
COLLEGE SPORTS
Feb. 1, 2010—Growing up a New Yorker college athletics were sort of an unknown phenomenon to me. I followed the bowl games when the end of December rolled around, and always got into March Madness, but outside of those two big events I barely followed college sports. It seems that the culture of college athletics simply is...
