The Deed is Done
Mar. 2, 2013—It is finally done. It is finally official. Back in November, I said I was going to declare my major "in a few weeks." Turns out I lied, but I finally got around to making everything official.
Housing Options
Mar. 1, 2013—Housing applications begin right after spring break for everyone except the incoming class. While all the first years are automatically assigned to a house on Commons, everyone else gets the choice of where they want to live. Here are all of the options!
‘s Weekend
Mar. 1, 2013—Last weekend was Mom's Weekend for my sorority, Alpha Chi Omega, and I had so much fun hanging out with my mom.
I Get By With a Little Help from My Friends
Mar. 1, 2013—A huge part of the college experience is the friends you make. Some of them are the long-term kind that will eventually lead distant relatives in the Macarena at your wedding reception. There are also the kind of friends that you had a Statistics class with once, so you awkwardly smile at them whenever you walk past them on the way to class. Regardless, all of the people you invest in and engage with during your college experience are important, and I thought I was done making friends by the end of freshman year. AU CONTRAIRE.
’til ASB!
Feb. 28, 2013—On Saturday morning at 8 AM, I will be driving one of two minivans pulling away from Vandyland headed for Kansas City, MO for Spring Break. While KCMO may not sound like the most exotic, or even exciting, Spring Break destination, it is actually going to be one of the best weeks of the year...
A Sweet Tooth Satisfied
Feb. 26, 2013—In my dream world, I would grow up to be a famous food blogger and get paid for eating gourmet food day in and day out in glamorous cities like New York and Paris. Unfortunately, this is not my fantasy world, and I am eating 14 out of 21 meals on the Vandy meal plan. Don't fear, though, prospective future Nashville dwellers, because Nashville is full of delicious noms to satisfy ever palate.
Signing Day
Feb. 26, 2013—I cannot believe that I forgot to blog about this- but better late than never, I suppose. A few weeks ago was national signing day. This day has never really been a big deal here because Vanderbilt is not known for contending and signing big-name recruits. This year, however, was different.
Sounds of the City: What We’re Listening To
Feb. 25, 2013—We've been very busy and extraordinarily quiet on the blog. But we're back with a bang.
*Cough Cough*
Feb. 25, 2013—For me, being sick at college is always one of the saddest moments because I start to miss home terribly. Luckily, the people surrounding me this time were incredibly helpful...
Midterm Madness
Feb. 25, 2013—Midterms are upon us! In the coming week, I’m sure you’ll hear a great (and valid) amount about the trials and tribulations of midterm examinations, pontifications and dissertations on Westernization, and other such things. I’m beating the rest of Inside ‘Dores to the punch, however – my midterm week came early, and it was a...
Midterms
Feb. 24, 2013—With just one week before spring break, midterm season is upon us. I have two exams this week and a project due, but compared to some of my friends, I suppose I got off easy. Here is the short list of things standing between me and my beautiful family in sunny Miami Beach.
Preparing for Spring Break
Feb. 23, 2013—A week from today, I will be on a plane on my way to Los Angeles for my spring break vacation.
