Alternative Winter Break
Dec. 8, 2013—In about a week, finals will be over and students will be heading home for winter break. Instead of going home, I will be spending the first week of the holidays on Alternative Winter Break (AWB)!
3W’s, Kendrick Lamar, Gatlinburg and Getting Paid
Dec. 8, 2013—Third time’s a charm, or so they say, and in the case of my third semester at Vandy, ‘they’ couldn’t be more right.
New Favorite Procrastination Tool: Live Concerts
Dec. 8, 2013—This is yet another ode to Nashville. I really don't think there are many college towns that allow for as many spontaneous concert adventures as I have had over my 3 years so far at Vandy. Although the week before Thanksgiving was a chaotic blur of group project meetings and nervous presentations (the blessing and curse of being an H.O.D. major), I somehow managed to fit in 2 spectacularly Nashville-y concerts on Thursday and Sunday night.
The Sound of Music Remixed: The Saga That Was Picking My Classes
Dec. 8, 2013—I’ve recently been inspired by Carrie Underwood’s live TV performance in the Sound of Music, so I now proudly, unabashedly present my own recreation of one of my favorite songs from this magical musical, all about picking my schedule.

The Great TAP THATsby

Dec. 8, 2013—Thanksgiving Break this year was awesome. It was kind of a tease because after a week-long break, we had to come back for a few more days of classes and a week of finals, but I soaked in every moment of free time I could.
Declaring your major!
Dec. 7, 2013—Even though I still had an entire semester to ponder the heavy, eternal life questions (which include but are unfortunately not limited to, “What am I going to do after I graduate?”) and declare a major (it has to happen before spring break of your sophomore year) I decided, earlier this semester, to seize the...
‘re Your Tour Guides
Dec. 7, 2013—Giving tours is one of my favorite things to do on campus. Not only do I get a chance to stand in front of a crowd of prospective students and their parents and younger siblings (and sometimes their uncles, cousins, and grandparents) and tell them all the ways in which Vanderbilt is the awesome school...
A Visit to Small Town Kentucky
Dec. 7, 2013—This year for thanksgiving I got to visit two of my suitemates' hometown. Kelsey and Jodi are both from the same small town in Kentucky and I'd heard so many stories about it, I had to visit!
