‘off campus’
The Best Day Ever
Mar. 21, 2012—Today has quite possibly been the best day I’ve had in a while. Two things happened: one, I got to see an advance screening of The Hunger Games! And two, my family is here!
Girls on the Run
Mar. 16, 2012—This semester, I started volunteering for Girls on the Run. Girls on the Run is a national organization that teaches girls about self-esteem, positive relationships and healthy living.
Mom’s Weekend
Feb. 28, 2012—I don’t think I ate a single meal on Vanderbilt’s campus last weekend, because it was AOII Mom’s Weekend! Let me explain:
Dinner with Chancellor Zeppos
Feb. 24, 2012—Last night, I had the privilege of visiting the Chancellor’s mansion in Belle Meade, which is about 5 miles from campus. A group of students were randomly selected to join Chancellor Zeppos at his second home for dinner and a small reception. At 5:30 yesterday evening, there were shuttles waiting for us to take us...
Radnor Lake
Feb. 19, 2012—This weekend, the weather was a little dreary, but Saturday was pretty warm, so I decided to take a hike at nearby Radnor Lake.
Valentine’s Day!
Feb. 15, 2012—I was about to type that I’d had too much chocolate yesterday, but then I realized that’s not possible. Either way, I probably ate an unhealthy amount of chocolate because it was Valentine’s Day! Come on, all the sugar, chocolate, and baked goods are one of the best parts of the day.
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!
New Semester Resolutions
Feb. 6, 2012—Each new semester in college is like a new year…sure you might be taking the second semester of a course (i.e. General Chemistry A vs. General Chemistry B), but it’s still a new class with a new teacher and a lot of new faces, give or take some familiar ones. It’s important to treat each...
Aix-en-Vacances
Jan. 28, 2012—For those of you who haven’t seen my other blogs, I am currently studying abroad in Southern France in a city called Aix-en-Provence. However, sometimes students like to joke around…even some of the host families tell us to remember that while our studies are important, it is also essential to recognize that we are on...
Bid Day ’12!
Jan. 16, 2012—As I mentioned earlier in the week, Bid Day was yesterday! After a week of recruitment, freshmen (and some sophomores) were finally offered bids from one of the nine panhellenic sororities on campus.
A Nashville Summer…
Jul. 21, 2010—At the end of the semester one of the older girls in my sorority who was graduating sent out an e-mail to all of the younger girls, giving us a list of things that we should make sure to do before we graduate. Among the urgings of not sweating the small stuff and making sure...
