‘Student Life’
To the Reds!
Oct. 11, 2012—Fall break, I thank you for your timely arrival amidst papers, practicing, and peril from sleep deprivation. On Wednesday, Dmitri and I practically skipped to the BCM to head out of town, loading up with a whopping forty-two other people onto one bus, one mini-van, and four cars to road trip all the way to Cincinnati!
It’s All (Relational)
Oct. 11, 2012—Happy October everyone! With another Fall Break in the books and school back in full swing, I thought I’d take a quick second to touch on a cornerstone of college that often goes taken for granted: relationships. This past Fall Break, I had the wonderful opportunity to spend some time with my family in addition...
Rand Reopens!
Oct. 9, 2012—This week is an exciting one here on campus. Don't get me wrong, every week is exciting here, but week is extra special because we are celebrating the grand re-opening of Rand Hall and the Sarratt Student Center.
Fourth Fridays Return!
Oct. 8, 2012—If you all weren't aware, I'm a pretty big Melodores fan. I've written about their performances before, and I attended the ICCA South Semifinals which were held here at Vandy. I'm also a pretty big fan of supporting fellow bloggers in their endeavors and week from this past Friday I was able to combine both of those!
Why I applied to Vanderbilt
Oct. 8, 2012—Time really does fly! It seems like just yesterday that I was applying to college. I know that it is an extremely stressful time for high school seniors and their families. I hope that my reasons for applying to Vanderbilt can help you all decide to apply to Vanderbilt, or at the very least, figure...
Vanderbilt Football WINS on the Road
Oct. 7, 2012—Last night, the Vanderbilt Commodores beat the Missouri Tigers 19-15! This marked Vanderbilt’s first SEC win of the season. To make things even sweeter, this was the first time that the Commodores have faced the Tigers since the Tigers joined the SEC. I was relieved that the team was away this weekend, since I was...
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!
Volunteer Research
Oct. 1, 2012—This semester, because I don’t have labs as co-requisites for my classes, I decided to start volunteering in a medical research lab on campus. I decided that I wanted to conduct research in gastroenterology because I have never really had any experience in this field and I thought that it would be fun to try...
Hiking and the School Play
Sep. 30, 2012—Yesterday, I went for a lovely hike at Radnor Lake and then came back to campus to see VUT's production of Dead Man's Cell Phone.
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.
