‘s Life for Me
Sep. 20, 2013—Yesterday, the whole world celebrated a very select group of people: pirates. International Pirate Day, September 19, allowed our inner pirates to be free for a little while. Shiver me timbers! And of course, we pirates sought hidden treasure, which we found and looted from Krispy Kreme!
Reasons I am Excited for Fall
Sep. 17, 2013—In light of the recent media buzz surrounding the coming of fall (most clearly marked by the pumpkin spice latte coming back), I figured I’d share some of the reasons why I personally am excited for fall here at Vanderbilt. After all, being from Florida, this is really only the fourth year I’ve lived in...
Chin Up, Anchor Down
Sep. 17, 2013—Luckily I have yet to succumb to the sophomore slump, and looking back at the last month or so, I actually could not be happier to be back in this place of intellectual and social vitality, where racial appropriation in the latest pop music video is typical breakfast conversation, and long nights are trekked in...
Cheers to the Weekend
Sep. 11, 2013—Free concerts downtown+the TN state fair+and a winning football team=great weekend
A Malaysian Sensation
Sep. 6, 2013—After giddily accepting the invite to Malaysian Night on Facebook the day before, I was so excited when my friends and I actually stepped into the SLC on Saturday night! The Malaysian Student Association at Vanderbilt (MSAV) put on a night of festivities, food, and fun in celebration of Eid, a religious holiday for Muslims, and Merdeka, the Malaysian Independence Day!
The Beginning of the End
Aug. 20, 2013—Round 4 commences in a few hours. Being a 3-time veteran of first-day preparations, I knew that it was necessary to soak in all the lazy free time I possibly could before the first day of classes. Once that hits, the busy-bee life of a student here on campus starts!
‘ll Do At Vandy
Aug. 20, 2013—I’m very excited to head back to school after making many fun memories over summer vacation. I even wrote a blog post about the five things I needed/wanted to do before leaving home since as Dorothy says: “there’s no place like home”. ;) In the same vein, I wanted to write a blog about the first five things I’m going to do upon my return to Nashville..
The Other Half of Summer
Aug. 20, 2013—I’ve talked a lot about my internship at redpepper, and before I start talking about my senior year here at Vandy (eeek!) I want to cover how I spent the three days of my work week that weren’t spent at redpepper–working in the Vanderbilt Office of Undergraduate Admissions! My work at the VU OUA was...
A Chattanooga Send-Off
Aug. 20, 2013—A few days ago, I had to say bye to my Chattanooga home to return for Round 4 of Vandy fun. However, this time around my family and I took a more tourist approach to explore the city before move-in day.
A Visit from a Fellow Commodore
Aug. 1, 2013—The Vanderbubble really is a small world. When I arrived in Guatemala this summer as a Program Intern for Manna Project International, I was shocked to learn that one of my bosses, Nicole, a 13-month Program Director, actually graduated from Vanderbilt in 2012. Although we both learned about Manna through Vanderbilt’s active chapter on campus,...
