Vanderbilt Valentine’s – Stambaugh Style
Feb. 22, 2015—Hey guys! So if you’ve been reading my blogs recently, you’ve probably noticed I’ve been going on a lot about the HAC. Please bear with me – I’ve got one more post and then I’ll move on to something else (maybe)! But given the Valentines timing, I just have to blog about why I love...
Snow Much Fun
Feb. 21, 2015—I. Love. Snow. If you haven’t heard already, Vanderbilt bequeathed us with two blessed snow days this week. Yes, we did take full advantage of these days.

It Was Valentine’s Day, I Guess.
Feb. 20, 2015—I know it’s a cliché to say that I don’t like Valentine’s Day, so I won’t say that. Instead, I’ll tell you something even cheesier: this Valentine’s Day was the best Valentine’s Day of my life. Wow, okay, that made me cringe a little. Moving on.

It’s Been a Few Weeks Since Bid Day And….
Feb. 13, 2015—Can’t picture Bid Day? Imagine this: flower headbands, face paint, tutus, yelling, blaring music, jumping, and hugging people you’re meeting for the first time. Although it seems like months since over 500 girls sat anxiously on their bid cards in the Student Learning Center (which was its own type of cruel and unusual punishment), it’s...
Vandy Ever After…
Feb. 11, 2015—Why go to Disney World when you can get it all plus more at Vanderbilt?
Spontaneous Snow
Jan. 30, 2015—Happy new year! Okay, so I’m a little late. I apologize for having not blogged in a while; I’ve been so busy and so many different things have happened over these first few weeks of the semester, I’ve barely had time to catch my breath. But that’s a good thing. Last semester was amazing but...
