‘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!

How to Survive Finals
Nov. 30, 2012—In exactly a week from now, I will be finished with classes and preparing for finals. Finals are stressful, and they require extensive amounts of studying. However, there are a few perks on Vanderbilt’s campus that make finals week not so awful.
Symphonie Fantastique
Nov. 7, 2012—So what better for Blair kids to do on their Friday night than go to the Schermerhorn Symphony Center for a delightful evening of music? We boarded the bus downtown, and when we arrived, we saw around half of our school there. From the pianists to violists to vocalists to horn players, the Blair School of Music had invaded the Nashville Symphony. Yes, that is what we music majors do to kick off our weekends.
The Package Line 2: The Streets
Oct. 29, 2012—This January, I wrote a sad blog about the realities of the package line after breaks. Despite their best efforts at moving students through, the package window was besieged by horrible lines due to the number of students shipping books and home items to Vandy. Apparently Inside ‘Dores is really the pulse of the student...
TIMAV: Meal Plan
Oct. 28, 2012—In continuing in my theme of talking about things I missed while studying abroad, it would be a mistake to forget about the food at Vandy! I know this is a popular topic amongst the Inside Dores bloggers, but food plays a huge role in college life. Be sure to pick a college with tasty...

I Love My Mommy

To the Reds!
Oct. 11, 2012—Fall break, I thank you for your timely arrival amidst papers, practicing, and peril from sleep deprivation. On Wednesday, Dmitri and I practically skipped to the BCM to head out of town, loading up with a whopping forty-two other people onto one bus, one mini-van, and four cars to road trip all the way to Cincinnati!
Sudden Sisterhood
Oct. 3, 2012—*Guest blog by the lovely Lauren Culbertson: A year ago, I claimed that I was not the “sorority-girl” type, but now I am a proud sister of the Zeta Omicron chapter of Alpha Chi Omega. Who woulda thought, right?
Hoedown Throwdown
Oct. 3, 2012—Last week, my friend Monica asked me, “Hey, do you want to get off campus? Come to Cru Fall Getaway!” Even though I wasn’t a member of Cru, I was excited hop out of the Vandy Bubble for a weekend and had lots of fun with Capture the Flag, a hoedown, and making new friends!
Blair Concert the First
Sep. 17, 2012—I'm not good at estimating, so I'll safely guess between 30 and 8,000 people showed up for Blair's first concert. But actually, Ingram was absolutely packed. Not even when Audra McDonald or the Berlin Philharmonic Wind Quintet came was there an audience such as this. Apparently, people even had to listen to and watch the concert from the lobby telly, it was so full! Success! People finally realizing and taking advantage of the free Blair concerts!
