Live on the Green
Sep. 28, 2012—Nashville isn’t adoringly nicknamed “Music City” for nothing. The city has a plethora of music venues, outdoor festivals, and up-and-coming bands. Whether you’re in town for a day, a weekend, or 4 years of college, you should be getting a taste of the country, folk, rock, punk, or whatever your ears and your heart desire.
The Beginning of Fall, Nissans, and Foodtrucks
Sep. 26, 2012—Well, it is official folks. It is SWEATER SEASON! As much as I loved the summer weather, I am ready for things to cool down a little bit. Not a fan of sweating when I am walking to class–bleh. In honor of the beginning of this wonderful season, a couple lovely ladies of the Catholic FOCUS...
Nashville Outings
Sep. 16, 2012—One of my personal goals for the semester was to do more things off campus. Nashville is such an awesome city, but sometimes I am too busy with school, work, clubs, and the other 1 million things happening on campus, that I forget to venture outside the “vandy-bubble”. This week was much different. For my...
All these things that I’ve done…
Sep. 12, 2012—I am back in the swing of things, dear readers, and it is crazy! Though today marks the middle of the 3rd full week of school, I feel like I've been here for way longer. I'm slowly but surely getting into a routine, and fondly remembering all the wonderful things about Vanderbilt (and the not so wonderful thing that is homework).
ORC Staff Training
Sep. 3, 2012—Each semester the Outdoor Recreation Center staff go on a training trip to hone our soft and hard skills in the wilderness. This semester, we had the extreme honor of participating the second ever Adventure Race! It tested our ability to orienteer, use gear, and work as a team to hike and then canoe from...
Visiting Vandy
Aug. 22, 2012—My friend Deanna called me on the way to class this morning because she realized it was the first science class she’s taken without me in over a year. Luckily, our separation anxiety will be put on hold this weekend when I drive to Vandy to see everyone!
First Tour of the Year!
Aug. 21, 2012—Being a junior means that I am also a “veteran guide” which sounds awesome and lets me begin giving tours as soon as I get back on campus, which is what I did today!
High School Memories
Aug. 21, 2012—Even though I haven’t been reunited with my Vandy friends yet (I’m visiting this weekend though!) I’ve been able to spend a bunch of time with high school friends!
Almost back to the grind…
Aug. 21, 2012—This post comes to you from the common room of my apartment-style dorm back at Vandy! I moved in on Saturday, and in true Vanderbilt style, a plethora of things have happened since.
We’re All In This Together
Aug. 19, 2012—On Friday, the upperclassmen ventured out of Main Campus, ready and eager to unite for the Common(s) cause of Move-In! We received half sheets of rules, which taught us things like, “Hangovers aren’t fun at 6:15 A.M.” which was our appallingly early check-in time, and gave us pictured instructions like, “Squat to pick up boxes,” which almost inspired my friends and I to create a goofy how-to video. After a few motivational speeches from the Heads of Houses, we stampeded the Commons Centers to pick up our awesome Move Crew shirts.
A Whole New World
Aug. 12, 2012—What to expect on Move-In Day! Less then a week! I'm bouncing off the walls with excitement for (or with!) you!

Aug. 7, 2012—Fun advice about Blair, your home away from home (Commons) away from home (parent’s house), with a few recommendations by some of your future colleagues.
