Adopted for Family Weekend
Oct. 17, 2012—Last weekend, I went home to spend fall break with my family. This weekend was Vanderbilt Family Weekend, and because I have three exams this week and I just saw my family, they decided to forego parents weekend this year. I do love when my parents visit me here at school, but this year it just wasn't going to work out. I hope that you aren't feeling sorry for me, though. This weekend I was adopted by my friends' families.
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.
Hoedown Throwdown
Oct. 3, 2012—Last week, my friend Monica asked me, “Hey, do you want to get off campus? Come to Cru Fall Getaway!” Even though I wasn’t a member of Cru, I was excited hop out of the Vandy Bubble for a weekend and had lots of fun with Capture the Flag, a hoedown, and making new friends!
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...
Blair Concert the First
Sep. 17, 2012—I'm not good at estimating, so I'll safely guess between 30 and 8,000 people showed up for Blair's first concert. But actually, Ingram was absolutely packed. Not even when Audra McDonald or the Berlin Philharmonic Wind Quintet came was there an audience such as this. Apparently, people even had to listen to and watch the concert from the lobby telly, it was so full! Success! People finally realizing and taking advantage of the free Blair concerts!
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.
First Football Game
Sep. 1, 2012—Last night, the Commodores kicked off their 2012 football season. Actually, they kicked off the entire SEC season, welcoming the University of South Carolina Gamecocks to the brand new stadium.
Visiting Vandy
Aug. 22, 2012—My friend Deanna called me on the way to class this morning because she realized it was the first science class she’s taken without me in over a year. Luckily, our separation anxiety will be put on hold this weekend when I drive to Vandy to see everyone!
