‘Tis the season for holiday parties!
Dec. 13, 2012—I adore going to holiday parties here at Vandy. They're always so great for relieving exam stress and providing a healthy dose of holiday spirit. This year, I went to two of them: one for Vanderbilt University Theatre and one for Victory A Cappella!
Performances! Performances! And yes….more performances!
Dec. 13, 2012—As the semester comes to a close, student group performances start popping up like mad!

My Job
Dec. 9, 2012—Though many of my friends at Vandy hold on campus jobs during the semester to help cover expenses, I have never worked during the school year - until this semester.
