‘friends’
Finals: Done
May. 7, 2014—Finishing the last final of my undergraduate career was a very sweet moment. What helped make it sweeter was the fact that I was celebrating this deed with 10 other girls soon thereafter! How did we celebrate? By being beach bums, of course.
Final Traditions
May. 6, 2014—As I mentioned in a previous post (better late than never, right?) second semester holds quite a few of my favorite Vanderbilt traditions. Two that I haven't talked about yet are Rites of Spring and the annual Black and Gold game!!
‘ll Miss the Most From School
May. 2, 2014—So I’ve been home for approximately thirty hours, meaning that I’ve had sufficient time to soak it all in and start what is sure to be a long three and a half months pining for school to reopen (yes, I am completely serious, and yes, if you had told me I would feel this way two years ago I would have laughed in your face). Fortunately for you guys, I’ve decided to channel this longing into something productive (if you told me that a week ago when I was holed up in a study carrel in Stevenson, I also would’ve laughed in your face), and have come up with the three things I miss about being at school:
Pancake Breakfast Pals
May. 2, 2014—The key to a great morning is six cups of Bisquick, a dozen eggs, and wonderful friends with which to share it.
‘s the 30 Day Countdown…
Apr. 9, 2014—Right. 30 days until Commencement. I honestly cannot fathom how it's time for that already.
Let the Nostalgic Posts Begin
Apr. 1, 2014—Well, this past Friday the Undergraduate Admissions Office was shut down because that was the day all of the admissions counselors ceremoniously (kind of) sent out letters to accepted students! It just really got me to thinking about my Vandy decision. So rather than catch you people up on the past 3 months of my life, let's go back a couple of years to the time when the college game was exciting and relevant for me.
Learning To Swim & Bad Metaphors
Mar. 12, 2014—My attempts at turning my college experience into a bad metaphor about learning to swim!
New Classes at the New Rec
Feb. 2, 2014—Part of the reason for my sparse blogging is that I have been spending a lot of time at the Student Rec. Quite frankly, in my previous three and a half years at Vanderbilt, I generally despised going to the rec. I love working out, but the rec was old and smelly, and there were...
The Final 100 Days
Jan. 31, 2014—Well, just like that, January is just about over, and, today marks only 100 days left until graduation. I am in denial, and I would say that most of my friends are right there with me. In honor (mourning) of this special day, the Senior Class Fund, held an entire week of festivities, culminating in...
I went bowling!
Jan. 7, 2014—This past Saturday, my sister and I met up with some of my friends in Birmingham, AL to watch the Commodores take on the University of Houston Cougars at the BBVA Compass Bowl. I had never been to an away game before, although I guess this was technically considered a neutral field. It was the perfect ending to my last football game as a student.
Airport Adventures: Nashville to Home
Dec. 15, 2013—The process of going home for winter break is not as simple as you might think (for me, at least). It generally involves at least three hours of staring at my room, willing my clothes to pack themselves, before putting things in a suitcase actually begins.
Getting Home
Dec. 14, 2013—One thing I’ve learned in my four years of traveling back home from Nashville to Naples is that Southwest creates some weird flight patterns. Fourteen hours is quite the drive though, and since I don’t have a car, flying is generally the best option. There’s no direct flights to the airport closest to my house,...
