It’s important to treat each...

Study Group = Lifesaver

Jan. 30, 2012—I have pretty much spent the last three days studying (super fun weekend) and I think I would have lost my sanity if it weren’t for my amazing study group. We call it that but it is really a few of my close friends who have braved the Organic Chemistry and Biology combo with me.

Dore for A Day

Jan. 24, 2012—Today, I missed the first half of the Vandy vs. University of Tennessee basketball game.

Sophomore Slam-Dunk Tailgate

Jan. 19, 2012—I just got back from watching the Commodores dominate the Alabama Crimson Tide in the Admiral’s Club at Memorial Gym.

Go Greek

Jan. 12, 2012—This time last year, I was blogging about going through recruitment and joining a sorority. I hate to sound like a broken record but recruitment has taken up most of my free time for the last week, so I figured it would be the easiest thing to blog about.
