LeCrae & Rock City!
Apr. 15, 2011—Last Friday, I went to go see LeCrae, a Christian rapper, at a Rockettown. LeCrae has had an amazing past. He grew up in a very poor community and used to live with what he calls “selfish ambition” (quoted from his concert). He now is a very successful music artist and inspires millions with his...
A Night to Honor Israel
Apr. 14, 2011—Earlier this week I attended an event called “A Night to Honor Israel.” Truthfully, the main reason that I went was to support one of my long time friends, Carver Morgan. He is an amazing person and since I met him almost 10 years ago in the mountains of North Carolina I have always admired...
Just Another Vandy Weekend
Apr. 12, 2011—Weekends at Vanderbilt are never short of things to do, and this weekend was no exception. On Friday night, I went with some friends to an ice rink in Franklin to play broomball with a group from Rolling Hills Community Church. I had gone last semester, and it was so much fun, so I was...
Free Ice Cream for Everybody!
Apr. 12, 2011—Today, April 12, 2011, Ben and Jerry’s celebrated its ‘Free Cone Day.’ They thanked their customers for thirty-three great years of business with free ice cream for everyone!
Empire State of Mind (New York)
Apr. 12, 2011—New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of/ There’s nothin’ you can’t do/ Now you’re in New York/ These streets will make you feel brand new/ Big lights will inspire you/ Let’s hear it for New York, New York, New York This the chorus of a song you most likely know, “Empire State of Mind”...
American Music Recital
Apr. 11, 2011—As you may have noticed before, I go to a lot of Blair concerts. I’m really not that cultured in the arts, it’s just that my roommate and one of my best friends are in Blair, so I’ve met a bunch of cool people from there or Spirit of Gold (the marching band).
So Much Sun, So Little Sleep!
Apr. 11, 2011—Ethan has already given you an overview of what Frat Formal season is like but I thought I would throw a girls perspective onto the scene also. I absolutely love spring formals! As a senior I have attended my fair share of formals with fraternities from Vanderbilt and also from Wake Forest. In summary, they...
More on Professor Van Schaack
Apr. 11, 2011—Morgan Weisman, my fellow blogger and sorority sister, is right. Academics at Vanderbilt are not always a piece of cake, but there are those professors that make paying $50,000 on a tuition bill worthwhile. Professor Andy Van Schaack is one of those. I realize Morgan elaborated quite a bit on him, but enough can’t be...
Intro to the Gaming Industry
Apr. 11, 2011—On Tuesday night, I attended a special guest lecture in FGH. The lecture was given by Tom Carbone and Todd Deery. Mr. Deery is the Communication and Admission Director of the Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy (FIEA), a graduate program at UCF that focuses on preparing students for entering the gaming industry. Mr. Carbone is the...
Holi
Apr. 10, 2011—Holi, also known as the Festival of Colors, is one of the most popular celebrations of the year for people of the Hindu faith. It is considered one of the happiest days of the year and this past Saturday, Vanderbilt’s Masala-SACE student organization hosted their very own Holi event on the lawn in front of...
