Vanderbilt Kentucky Basketball Game
Feb. 14, 2011—What were you doing Thursday night? Surely you weren’t as cold as some Vanderbilt students were who decided to take a camping trip. Shortly after Vanderbilt’s victory over Alabama on Thursday night, a few students started setting up tents in preparation for arguably one of the most important games of the Vanderbilt season; the Kentucky...
Sorority Perks
Jan. 30, 2011—As a member of Vanderbilt’s varsity Women’s Lacrosse team, I hope to offer a new perspective to the blogging site by providing information about activities, services, and service opportunities both inside and outside of athletics. Having just gone through sorority recruitment, I would like to focus this first blog on my participation in Greek Life.
Vandy Basketball
Jan. 13, 2011—Last night, the Vanderbilt Men’s Basketball Team hosted the Georgia Bulldogs in Memorial Gym. After the first day of classes, my friends and I figured that going to the basketball game was the perfect way to celebrate.

Journaling the Experience
Oct. 5, 2010—Hey everybody out there! I’ve always wanted to have a journal I could look back on and do all the corny things you see in the movies—laugh at the funny memories, shed a few tears over the tough times, but mostly just remember.

March Madness – On and Off Campus
Mar. 24, 2010—Off campus – the week in review: Everyone’s bracket has been completely destroyed. Who would have called some of these upsets? Vanderbilt basketball… oh well. All is not lost. Yea we lost our chance at playing Kentucky and finally handing their rear ends to them, but in talking with the team last night at Sigma...
Vanderbilt Pride
Feb. 28, 2010—Four hours before game time the Saturday of the Vanderbilt vs. Kentucky men’s basketball game, there was a shockingly long line of Vandy students outside Memorial Gym. (Here at Vanderbilt, we don’t buy student tickets to games – we get into all athletic events free with our Vandy ID) When I finally entered the stadium,...
School Spirit
Feb. 18, 2010—Growing up a New Yorker college athletics were sort of an unknown phenomenon to me. I followed the bowl games when the end of December rolled around, and always got into March Madness, but outside of those two big events I barely followed college sports. It seems that the culture of college athletics simply is...
The Soundtrack to “A Typical Vandy Week”

Don’t lie… you know you’ve thought about it too. Well I decided to thoroughly search through my iTunes library to find the perfect soundtrack to my...
