‘Vanderbilt’
Oh, Thank Heaven for Semester Seven!
Sep. 12, 2013—(The title’s a stretch, I know. It’s hard to rhyme with seven.) We’re about 3 and a half weeks into my second-to-last semester here at Vanderbilt, and the fact that I haven’t blogged yet is a pretty good indicator of how busy it has been. That being said, it is so good to be back...
Bouncing Back
Sep. 5, 2013—After a heart breaking loss at Dudley Stadium, I’ve finally been able to get myself together to talk about the night and reflect on the positives. If you didn’t know, Vanderbilt kicked off their football season last Thursday against the Ole Miss Rebels. It was an important game and it came right down to the...
The New Alumni Hall
Sep. 1, 2013—In my time at Vanderbilt, Alumni Hall has never really been a consistent space. It had some offices and at one point, temporarily housed the Writing Studio. Last year, however, it was closed off and completely renovated. This past Friday, with the opening of the workout room, the renovation was officially complete!
The Dorm Life
Aug. 27, 2013—This year, I upgraded. Just like the Tennessee Titans upgraded their offensive line (Super Bowl here we come), I got to upgrade my dorm experience. I moved from a “Harry-Potter-Under-The-Stairs” single to a big and fancy four person suite aka prime real estate. For the rest of the year, I will be living in Morgan...
Senior Year- A Different Schedule
Aug. 25, 2013—I cannot believe that this is my last fall at Vanderbilt. Between football games, Homecoming week the opening of Alumni Hall, this semester is sure to fly by. Because I am a senior, my schedule is a weird mix of classes that I need to complete my major and AXLE. Thus, although the timing of...
New Year, New Semester
Aug. 22, 2013—The Fall Semester of 2013 has begun. I am now officially a Junior in college and have passed the half-way point of my college career. Here is a preview of my junior year schedule. This semester, I decided to take 19 hours per week, one hour more than the standard 18 hours. These classes are:...
Guest Blog: In a Nutshell
Aug. 21, 2013—College. With impeccable timing it conveniently crashes down onto our lives, leaving us in desperate search for the chips of our identity and the task of piecing them back together again. After packing up all of our belongings we begin triple checking our list to make sure we have all of the essentials: shower shoes, No. 14 pencils to last a lifetime, and enough Target dorm décor which we hope can transform a 10x10 room into a rough version of the Pottery Barn catalog.
The Beginning of the End
Aug. 20, 2013—Round 4 commences in a few hours. Being a 3-time veteran of first-day preparations, I knew that it was necessary to soak in all the lazy free time I possibly could before the first day of classes. Once that hits, the busy-bee life of a student here on campus starts!
A Summer Wrap Up
Aug. 20, 2013—Tomorrow begins Junior Year and ends the summer break. As I prepare for this new semester, I reflect on everything I did over the course of the summer. It all began in May. Finals were done and after a long 20 minute drive, I was back home in the comforts of Nashville, Tennessee. 3 months...
A Chattanooga Send-Off
Aug. 20, 2013—A few days ago, I had to say bye to my Chattanooga home to return for Round 4 of Vandy fun. However, this time around my family and I took a more tourist approach to explore the city before move-in day.
