‘friends’
Pancake Pantry
Apr. 6, 2012—Even though my first class wasn’t until 9:10, I woke up at 6 am yesterday. No, not for some last minute studying, but for breakfast at Pancake Pantry!
Murray Magic Memories!
Apr. 4, 2012—Time flies by, and goodness gracious, I cannot believe that I am finishing my second year at Vandy within a month. You see, last night nostalgia hit hard when I went back to my first home on Vandy campus: Murray House. All alum Murrayites had been invited to the Faculty Head of House’s, Dr. Sharon...
Derby Days
Mar. 29, 2012—It’s that time of year again…Derby Days! Every year, Sigma Chi holds a philanthropic competition between the sororities on campus, donating all the proceeds to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (so far the total is above $36,000!).
Life Without a Laptop
Mar. 25, 2012—For the past few months or so, my laptop had trouble connecting to the internet, but I could usually get it to work by restarting it a few times. Last Sunday afternoon though, it randomly decided it didn’t have the hardware for Wi-Fi anymore, and the Apple store recommended I drop it off there.
When Your Mom Visits (Part 1)…
Mar. 23, 2012—This semester, I knew I wouldn’t be going home for quite some time because I would once again be going on a mission trip for Spring break. Thus, I was super excited when my mom found really cheap flight tickets and was able to come visit me! As a teacher, she had a week off...
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.
Why Vanderbilt?
Mar. 11, 2012—With Spring Break last week, I got to go home and catch up with a bunch of my friends still in high school. Since most of them are second-semester seniors, I grilled them all about college. Hearing this whole process again reminded me why I chose to come to Vanderbilt in the first place,
Delta Lambda Phabulous!
Feb. 21, 2012—This Sunday night was the second annual Delta Lambda Phabulous variety show, which AOII won with our hip hop dance!
From Carnival to Karneval
Feb. 20, 2012—While studying abroad in France, I had the great opportunity to hop the country border over to Germany to go visit my cousins in Dusseldorf and celebrate Karneval with them. This was an especially interesting experience for me because I took a course called “From Carnival to Carnivalesque” from Prof. Robert Barsky last semester, and...
The Children’s Hour
Feb. 19, 2012—For the next week, Vanderbilt University Theatre is performing The Children’s Hour. It opened on Friday night and I was lucky enough to see the first performance.
Weekend Home
Feb. 13, 2012—I’ve already been up 5 hours and the day is young. No, I wasn’t cramming for a test or finishing up a paper, but rather driving 3 hours back from Knoxville. This past weekend, I went home and got to sleep in my own bed!
Quality of Life?
Feb. 9, 2012—The other day in my “Environment, health: the real issues” course, we talked about how the perception of what quality of life means is different from person to person. For example, people in industrial cities tend to talk about pollution and green spaces as taking away from or improving, respectively, their quality of life whereas...
