Just Another Vandy Weekend
Apr. 12, 2011—Weekends at Vanderbilt are never short of things to do, and this weekend was no exception. On Friday night, I went with some friends to an ice rink in Franklin to play broomball with a group from Rolling Hills Community Church. I had gone last semester, and it was so much fun, so I was...
American Music Recital
Apr. 11, 2011—As you may have noticed before, I go to a lot of Blair concerts. I’m really not that cultured in the arts, it’s just that my roommate and one of my best friends are in Blair, so I’ve met a bunch of cool people from there or Spirit of Gold (the marching band).
Holi
Apr. 10, 2011—Holi, also known as the Festival of Colors, is one of the most popular celebrations of the year for people of the Hindu faith. It is considered one of the happiest days of the year and this past Saturday, Vanderbilt’s Masala-SACE student organization hosted their very own Holi event on the lawn in front of...
Pancakes at the Pantry! (Courtesy of CityVU)
Apr. 9, 2011—I just left Pancake Pantry. I had a 4:15 reservation. You are probably wondering how this is possible when the restaurant closes at 4. Not only this, but even when the restaurant is open, they do not take reservations. People line up around the block to eat at the Pantry.
Make it work!
Apr. 5, 2011—This evening, I went to see Tim Gunn speak at the Langford Auditorium here at Vanderbilt. Tim Gunn is a fashion consultant best known for his mentorship to competing designers on the hit TV show Project Runway. He’s also Liz Claiborne’s chief creative officer and the author of two books.
Yet Another Spring Break Option- SPOTS!
Mar. 22, 2011—As you’ve probably discovered reading through various Inside ‘Dores posts, Vanderbilt has a ton of Spring Break options. Alternative Spring Break (ASB), is one of the most common, but definitely not the only service trip available for Vanderbilt students. I decided this year to go with Vanderbilt’s Baptist Collegiate Ministry to Tampa, Florida for their...
Mosaic Weekend
Mar. 20, 2011—For the last four days, I’ve had a high school senior sleeping on my floor. She was here for Mosaic, a multicultural recruitment weekend for accepted students. I signed up to host, which pretty much involved taking Melissa to dinner one night and giving her a place to sleep, even though they probably were not...
Honor Council
Mar. 14, 2011—Sorry about the small hiatus. The past two weeks have flown. Between midterms and spring break, I totally forgot to blog! Over spring break, I got an email from my chemistry professor letting me know that I was going to be contacted by the honor council. Vanderbilt’s Undergraduate Honor Council “was formed to help enforce...
ASB in New Hampshire
Mar. 14, 2011—Alternative Spring Break (ASB) at Vanderbilt University was the first program of its kind and was established by Vanderbilt students in 1987 and today is one of the most popular service organizations on campus. I would definitely recommend that every Vanderbilt student participate in ASB at least once before the graduate. It can truly be...
The Nashville Intercollegiate Activism Conference
Feb. 21, 2011—Last Thursday, the Vanderbilt Political Review (VPR) hosted the Nashville Intercollegiate Activism Conference (NIAC). Being the treasurer for VPR, I was somewhat active in putting on this conference and was really excited to see it finally happen.
