Try a Tri
Jul. 27, 2012—Hello again, summer readers! One of my very last posts on the blog was about my experience running the Rock & Roll Marathon (I ran the half) at the end of spring semester. Coming to you now from Knoxville, TN, I bring you the next of my silly sports adventures – my first triathlon!
Climbing in France
May. 2, 2012—Luckily for me, while abroad I have been able to continue with my (slightly-obsessive) hobby of rock-climbing while abroad. At Vanderbilt, I participate in both Wilderness Skills and the Outdoor Recreation Program, which allow me easy-access to all things outdoors…but here, it has been a bit more difficult.
The Joys of Finals Week
Apr. 27, 2012—Finals week. Insert dramatic sigh here. I am honestly quite sad to see that two whole years–HALF of my undergraduate career–is already over.

Weekend at Vandy
Apr. 2, 2012—Luckily, this past weekend was pretty much work-free and I got to enjoy hanging out with friends. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t busy, though, since I’m one of those weirdos who’s only happy when she’s busy.
Strike Out Arthritis
Mar. 18, 2012—Last Friday was AOII’s annual spring philanthropy, Strike Out Arthritis. As I mentioned before, our sorority’s national philanthropy is the Arthritis Foundation, so all the money raised will go to Arthritis research, prevention, and care.
Slowing down a bit
Feb. 13, 2012—So after a truly memorable weekend with watching our ladies’ basketball team beat the Lady Vols, hosting “ESPN College Gameday“, and putting up an unbelievable fight against UK in the men’s basketball game Saturday night–all on little to no sleep–a lazy Sunday was much needed.

An Inside Look at McGugin Magic

Journaling the Experience
Oct. 5, 2010—Hey everybody out there!

Remember my initial impressions of friends; remember running through the V at...
