Performance Weekend or Parents Weekend?
Oct. 5, 2013—Hello friends! This past weekend was filled with two of my favorite things; performances and my parents! Like my fellow star blogger, Erica Graff, my weekend kicked off on Thursday evening at Vanderbilt University Theatre’s production of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. I did not know much about the show before hand, but it was fantastic...
‘ it with Kendrick Lamar
Oct. 4, 2013—After months of meetings/deliberation/preparations, this Thursday Commodore Quake was finally here!!!! This year’s Quake was my first as a member of VPB’s Music Group, so I got to experience all the fun from a much better view than before: The artists we had this year were Wale and Kendrick Lamar, two of the biggest names...
Homecoming 2013
Oct. 4, 2013—Campus is buzzing with excitement over Homecoming. From Commodore Quake to kickoff vs. Mizzou, Carolyn has the latest.
The BLounge
Oct. 4, 2013—I love homecoming week. All campus is alive with music, people and cheerful presence of Vanderbilt alumni. But after a long day of classes I thought I needed some time to relax, listen to some music and have a quick light lunch before hitting Branscomb for food trucks and block party after that. Yes I...
The Anchor
Oct. 3, 2013—Last night, as I was at the Munchie getting ready to grab some food and head out to Blair for some late night practicing, I got a text from my house president, Henry. Apparently, there is a big contest for who makes the best Homecoming banner and all the common houses were “battling” to earn...
A window into the Future

Paint Vandy Purple Week!
Oct. 3, 2013—Yesterday marked the end of Paint Vandy Purple Week! What does that mean? Well it involves not as much paint, but a lot of flyers, banners and purple ribbons. But why purple, one might wonder? Well, it’s all for a good cause. Vanderbilt Relay for Life is one of the biggest student organizations on campus....
ROC and Roll- The Ridiculous Obstacle Challenge
Oct. 2, 2013—Have you ever wondered how well you would do on a TV show like Wipeout? Well, two weekends ago I got a taste of what it would be like to do a game-show inspired obstacle course at the ROC (ridiculous obstacle challenge) Race.
Vanderbilt Restaurant Week
Oct. 2, 2013—From haute cuisine to the food truck scene, Nashville has a thriving culinary community. But at Vanderbilt you don’t have to go off campus to get great food. Jay takes a taste of campus dining options for you this week.
‘ Last Parents Weekend
Oct. 2, 2013—My parents came to parents weekend my first year at Vanderbilt, but they have not been to parents weekend since. Honestly, parents weekend is more crowded and busy than most, so my parents try and come when things are calmer (and they can hang out with all of my friends). This year, however, they decided to brave the crowds as it was my sister's first parents weekend.
Home away from home
Oct. 1, 2013—Socializing, getting out of your comfort zone and trying out different things.
Blood, Sweat, and Tears (Minus the Sweat and Tears)
Oct. 1, 2013—I'm not quite sure how it happened, but since coming to Vandy, giving blood has become one of my favorite pastimes. Savin' lives left and right; you can't stop me. This is probably the most bizarre confession I've ever made, but hey, is there an easier act of service than sitting in a comfy chair, sipping Sprite while nice nurses take fluids out of your arm?
