‘Student Life’
Home Again
Oct. 14, 2013—I know it seems like just yesterday that my parents were in Nashville to visit my sister and me on Parents Weekend. But time flies, and before we knew it, it was fall break and my sister and I were headed to the Miami Beach Sunshine.
IJM Day!
Oct. 7, 2013—When you find a cause that you really love, you end up bringing into conversations a lot. That's kind of how I feel about human trafficking. It's a huge and heavy need around the world, and I have been SO ecstatic about getting involved with International Justice Mission (IJM) to help make my mark on this injustice.
Homecoming Festivities
Oct. 5, 2013—This week, my knowledge of what William and Kate named their baby (George Alexander Louis) came in handy! It was for Trivia Night in Rand, one of the awesome Homecoming events.
The BLounge
Oct. 4, 2013—I love homecoming week. All campus is alive with music, people and cheerful presence of Vanderbilt alumni. But after a long day of classes I thought I needed some time to relax, listen to some music and have a quick light lunch before hitting Branscomb for food trucks and block party after that. Yes I...
Not My Parents’ Last Parents Weekend
Oct. 2, 2013—My parents came to parents weekend my first year at Vanderbilt, but they have not been to parents weekend since. Honestly, parents weekend is more crowded and busy than most, so my parents try and come when things are calmer (and they can hang out with all of my friends). This year, however, they decided to brave the crowds as it was my sister's first parents weekend.
Home away from home
Oct. 1, 2013—Socializing, getting out of your comfort zone and trying out different things.
Visions of Sushi!
Sep. 30, 2013—Last week, I spent an amazing hour with my Visions group making sushi, sharing the highs and lows of our week and simply having a good time!
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.
Free Flu Shots!
Sep. 25, 2013—Today was Vanderbilt's annual Flulapalooza, a huge campaign through which all Vanderbilt students, faculty and staff are invited (encouraged, actually) to get a free flu shot. The campaign started three years ago, and last year we broke the world record for most flu shots given in a single-day campaign.
I OVERSLEPT!
Sep. 23, 2013—I guess the title says it all, I OVERSLEPT! I woke up today around noon , which meant missing three lectures. Yes, it felt very bad. I had to put my clothes on in three minutes and run to Buttrick Hall to catch my 12 o’clock class. This is not something I am particularly proud...
