Spring Blogger Recruitment: The Most Wonderful Time of the Year?
Feb. 29, 2012—As Spring Break is just a mere 3 days and one midterm from my grasp, I've been busy working on a few other things besides just studying. One of these things is Inside 'Dores Spring Recruitment!
Dinner with Chancellor Zeppos
Feb. 24, 2012—Last night, I had the privilege of visiting the Chancellor’s mansion in Belle Meade, which is about 5 miles from campus. A group of students were randomly selected to join Chancellor Zeppos at his second home for dinner and a small reception. At 5:30 yesterday evening, there were shuttles waiting for us to take us...
Radnor Lake
Feb. 19, 2012—This weekend, the weather was a little dreary, but Saturday was pretty warm, so I decided to take a hike at nearby Radnor Lake.
Kickboxing!
Feb. 15, 2012—In light of this new semester, I've been trying to exercise more (big emphasis on trying). I'm not particularly a fan of working out, so I like to find ways of exercising which are actually fun as well. I love swimming at the Rec, but I generally don't have enough time to set aside for a good swim, so recently I've picked up a new hobby--kickboxing!
Slowing down a bit
Feb. 13, 2012—So after a truly memorable weekend with watching our ladies’ basketball team beat the Lady Vols, hosting “ESPN College Gameday“, and putting up an unbelievable fight against UK in the men’s basketball game Saturday night–all on little to no sleep–a lazy Sunday was much needed.
Weekend Home
Feb. 13, 2012—I’ve already been up 5 hours and the day is young. No, I wasn’t cramming for a test or finishing up a paper, but rather driving 3 hours back from Knoxville. This past weekend, I went home and got to sleep in my own bed!
ESPN Gameday Parts 2 and 3
Feb. 12, 2012—I was so exhausted between Gameday and the Vanderbilt-UK basketball game, that I didn’t have time to blog. I will give you a recap of my crazy Gameday experience:
ESPN Gameday Part 1
Feb. 10, 2012—In case you haven’t turned on ESPN within the past week, I’m here to let you know that College Gameday will be filmed from Vanderbilt’s Memorial Gym this Saturday, for the first time in school history! As your unofficial sports blogger, I hope that you know me better than to think that I would miss...
Quality of Life?
Feb. 9, 2012—The other day in my “Environment, health: the real issues” course, we talked about how the perception of what quality of life means is different from person to person. For example, people in industrial cities tend to talk about pollution and green spaces as taking away from or improving, respectively, their quality of life whereas...
New Semester Resolutions
Feb. 6, 2012—Each new semester in college is like a new year…sure you might be taking the second semester of a course (i.e. General Chemistry A vs. General Chemistry B), but it’s still a new class with a new teacher and a lot of new faces, give or take some familiar ones. It’s important to treat each...
