The Mayfield Experience
Aug. 26, 2011—I’ve lived in Mayfield 6 for a week now and it’s definitely…interesting.
Back to School
Aug. 25, 2011—After two days of classes, my nerdy side is coming out again. I love my classes.
The Plight of the Hungry Sophomore
Aug. 24, 2011—Vanderbilt is a lot like the witch in Hansel and Gretel. When first you arrive as a freshman, Vanderbilt (heretofore known as “she“) begins to fatten you up, stuffing you with both numerous orientation and get-to-know-you events and a wealth of free food. The meal plan does not activate until the Monday before classes start,...
Running in Nashville
Aug. 24, 2011—I feel like I’m always in class sometimes. But when I get really stressed out, I go for a run with my best friend, and roommate. No matter where on campus we are, or what project or paper we are working on, we cut an hour out of our days to go run together and...
FOOTBALL
Aug. 24, 2011—I love sports. When I was younger, my dad would quiz me, on the way to swim practice, about football, baseball, and hockey teams. We would play “What, Where”, where he would say the team and I would have to name the city, and vice versa. I got to know all of the teams pretty...
Classes
Aug. 24, 2011—Choosing what classes to take is always hard- there are so many amazing ones. But what I have decided is to major in Human and Organizational Development, in the Leadership track, and double minor in Spanish and Political Science. I transferred to Peabody College last semester, from the College of Arts and Science, so I...
Back 2 School
Aug. 24, 2011—SCHOOL TIME. Summer flies by, and then it is time to go back to Nashville… hallelujah. I am so excited to be back I can’t even stand it!! My sister said to me the other day that she has been so busy focusing on moving to Nashville and going to college that she almost forgot...
Parents and College
Aug. 24, 2011—As summer draws to a close, our family must change, once again. My sister is going away this year, too, and my mom, dad, and younger brother have to adjust once more to what we have nicknamed “the new normal”.
Too Involved
Aug. 24, 2011—The day after I swore I would not accept any more leadership positions, I received this email: “You have been nominated as President of Invisible Children- Vanderbilt. Do you accept?”‘
Dining Traditions
Aug. 23, 2011—My family has a special tradition, that on Sunday nights, we all cook together as a family. We spend a lot of time picking recipes out of our Cooking Light magazines and cookbooks, and make a huge grocery list. It usually takes us about 2 hours to cook, and then we finally eat, and boy,...
More Thoughts on Summer, College…
Aug. 23, 2011—I just told y’all all about my high school, and how special it is, and how much I love it. In my college search, I looked for a place that was as special as my high school. That school IS Vanderbilt.
My Trip to the Zoo!
Aug. 23, 2011—As you may already know, I arrived in Nashville on Thursday so that I could settle myself in before I volunteered for Move Crew. Move crew efficiently moves in the entire first-year class in under 5 hours. I knew that after last year, when the upperclassmen moved me, that I had to pay it forward...
