‘Student Life’
Getting Domestic
Feb. 21, 2013—This week, I actually had two midterms. They were in my easier classes, so I had some free time, but I was feeling a little anxious. I decided it was time to bake. At home, I cook and bake almost every day. I absolutely love it. But, while at school because I don't have a kitchen of my own, I often forget to do what I love. This week, I was determined to relieve some stress and remember to do what I love.
Big/Little Reveal
Feb. 18, 2013—As I walked through Rand last Wednesday, I made sure to grab multiple copies of The Hustler and The Slant, even though I’d already read both (and completed the crossword). I stocked up on scotch tape and bundled up for the cold as I waited for my Big to pick me up from Towers. It was time for Big/Little Reveal 2013!
Mardi Gras
Feb. 14, 2013—I know what you're thinking. A college student at Mardi Gras cannot be constructive. I am here to dispel those preconceived notion, as I went to Mardi Gras and survived.
Consider Me Inspired
Feb. 13, 2013—Many a time, I pray for inspiration. Sometimes, music majors get down in a funk about practicing, as it seems like there’s no point in sawing away at our expensive, hollowed out pieces of wood and we suffer from a dearth of motivation. But I first encountered Johannes Moser when he performed the Schumann Cello Concerto with the Berlin Philharmonic. On Youtube, that is. That three minute clip was so inspiring that I ran to the practice room and practiced for an hour and a half.
A Senior Recital
Feb. 12, 2013—This past Saturday, I went to a vocal Senior Recital at Blair. I am an A&S student, through and through, so I had no idea that Senior Recitals even existed. I figured I would enlighten you guys, so we can all be a little more knowledgable about the smallest of Vanderbilt's schools.
Opportunities Abound
Feb. 12, 2013—There’s something you should know, dear Inside ‘Dores readers. One of my potential life career goals is to be a full-time blogger. I realize it’s not the most attainable or realistic of goals, but this week I came one step closer. Through a really awesome opportunity here at Vanderbilt, master blogger Nathan and myself now...
Life as I know it.
Feb. 12, 2013—Well, it’s been quite some time since you all have heard from me. This post aims to serve two purposes: 1. to prove that I have not, in fact, fallen off the face of the earth, and 2. give you a glimpse of my life as a second semester junior. My heart skipped a beat...
The Blogging Baking Buddies Bonanza Bash!
Jan. 29, 2013—Isn’t that just the best title? I can’t take full credit, for I was accompanied by my ally in alliteration (Ann) in crafting it. Today, I tell you a lovely tale of three bloggers coming together to craft some delicious delicacies. The backstory: Ann and I were tasked with making Sweet Sundays for the BCM...
Ed Sheeran Part 2
Jan. 23, 2013—Last night, I saw Ed Sheeran in concert…again. I saw him last semester in London, and he was so good that I had to see him again at the Ryman.
Dinner and Some Movies
Jan. 23, 2013—This weekend was a long weekend in observance on MLK Day. Monday was fully programmed with optional activities in observance of the holiday. I attended a watching and discussion of the Inauguration in Rand, for example. Because of the long weekend, I was able to indulge in dinner off campus and some movies.
