‘Student Life’
Slack[lin]ing in the Sun
Sep. 26, 2012—Every once in a while, my friends and I in WilSkills will get together and set up a slackline outside of Rand Dining Center to hang out and eat lunch while inviting people to learn how to slackline and also to attend a WilSkills lecture or trip.
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...
Getaway for a Day
Sep. 25, 2012—This time of the semester is stressful. This coming week I have two papers, a test, a quiz and a whole host of miscellaneous tasks for group projects and extra curriculars. That’s why I was so glad this past weekend to get off campus for a few days for a BCM retreat at Deer Run...
Habitat for Humanity Builds
Sep. 24, 2012—One of the student organizations I have become passionate about during my time at Vanderbilt is Habitat for Humanity. I went from being on the Junior Exec Board to becoming a fundraising chair and running the Commodore Trot 5k for two years, to finally becoming one of the co-presidents. It may not be your favorite...
TIMAV: Dismas House
Sep. 22, 2012—I know I’ve written before about my weekly outings to Dismas House, but I thought you all could use a reminder about this great service opportunity so near to campus. It’s definitely my favorite extracurricular activity, other than telling you all about my life through this blog. I also really missed it while abroad.
This Week’s Funtivities
Sep. 21, 2012—This week, I decided that every day I would take a small study break and enjoy something uniquely offered at Vanderbilt. I'm going to be honest and say that I thought it would be difficult to find fun things to do every day. Is there really a Vanderbilt sponsored activity that I could enjoy every day? There is! And, if I were a betting girl, I'd bet that there would be everyday funtivities for you too!
Just another fall weekend
Sep. 17, 2012—This weekend, I stuck around campus and just enjoyed the beautiful weather and this great campus. I finally feel like I am settled in and out of summer-mode. On Friday night, I went to Hillel for Shabbat dinner. Most of my close friends here are not Jewish, so when they all decided to go to...
Enriching a Course
Sep. 12, 2012—Today, I was officially approved to enrich a course. Enriching a course is the College of Arts and Science is only available to College Scholars, a title that I was luckily enough to earn with my acceptance to Vanderbilt. We have the unique opportunity to graduate with honors in the College of Arts and Sciences, which is similar to graduating with honors in your major.
Parks and Rec
Sep. 10, 2012—This weekend, I took advantage of the BEAUTIFUL weather and decided to experience Nashville's parks. Believe it or not, there are so many parks around here. There are not only hiking trails, water falls, and horseback riding, but also outside amphitheaters, playgrounds and museums.
