Sorority Perks
Jan. 30, 2011—As a member of Vanderbilt’s varsity Women’s Lacrosse team, I hope to offer a new perspective to the blogging site by providing information about activities, services, and service opportunities both inside and outside of athletics. Having just gone through sorority recruitment, I would like to focus this first blog on my participation in Greek Life.
Laser tag, cardboard igloos, and blueberry pancakes.
Jan. 30, 2011—Friday nights are probably my favorite time of the week in college. Classes are finished, but it’s still too early to need to worry about homework for Monday. This week I had been looking forward to Friday night because of the prospect of laser tag. I went with the youth group from Rolling Hills Community...
Cafe Coco and “The Card”
Jan. 23, 2011—Last night, my friends and I were pretty bored and hungry. We spent the day hanging out in our dorm because it was cold and gray outside. Sometimes, after a long week, the best way to spend a Saturday is to relax and bond with the girls. We didn’t want to go to the dining...
Family Weekend
Oct. 12, 2010—This weekend, Vanderbilt celebrated official ‘Family Weekend,’ so my parents and grandparents made the trip and spent the weekend with me.
Post-Concert update on the Melodores
Apr. 23, 2010—This was the big week for the Melodores. We had rehearsal every day leading up to our concert (which was yesterday). Hours and hours of practice finally paid off during our concert, entitled “The Meloship of the Ring.” Many asked if our concert had anything to do with Lord of the Rings and it really...
Diverging Directions
Apr. 14, 2010—On the way to one of my afternoon classes this sunny Wednesday, I started thinking back to my first year at Vanderbilt. My thoughts drifted to three friends I used to regularly hang out with in a neighboring House on the Commons. For this entry, I will call them Trent, Jack, and Mike.
The Beauty of Campus
Apr. 12, 2010—Looking ahead at the next ten days – an average temp of 80 degrees with sunny skies! I really should start taking pictures of the views around campus. Some trees are starting to bloom and everything is just gorgeous. Everybody around campus is trying to find a way to take their work outside. Around campus...
These Are a Few of My Favorite (Nashville) Things…
Apr. 11, 2010—PART TWO Hillsboro Village – A unique part of Nashville is located right outside Peabody campus. Resell clothing shops and bookstores, high quality boutiques, coffee shops, the popular Pancake Pantry – this is definitely an eclectic part of the city. It’s the first place I took my parents when they first came to visit me...
These Are a Few of My Favorite (Nashville) Things…
Mar. 23, 2010—PART ONE Centennial Park – Right across the street from Vanderbilt is Nashville’s best urban park. It centers around a replica of the Parthenon (with a huge statue of Athena inside, as well as rotating art exhibits) There is a great mile loop around trees and duck ponds for avid runners, and lots of green...
Back to School
Jan. 17, 2010—The first official week of classes are done, albeit only a three-day week. What counts is that I have met all of my professors, gotten all the syllabi and received the expectations of each class. My schedule is a lot fuller than it was last semester, so I have done something I never thought I...
