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. Also, I address how I settled on my schedule for my first two semesters at Vandy. Happy Holidays. Happy Finals-Procrastinating. Happy Reading.
The Great TAP THATsby
Dec. 8, 2013—This semester I have had the grand opportunity of participating in a new tap dancing organization at Vanderbilt called Tap That!, and boy oh boy has it been fun.

Melo Cyrus
Dec. 6, 2013—Perhaps even more daunting than the prospect of imminent papers and finals was The Melodores‘ annual winter concert.

I was also, however, incredibly excited. Our practices...
