Summer in Retrospect
Aug. 23, 2011—Time to go back to school. It seems like summer went by so fast, especially because I started my internship May 22 and ended August 5. During that time, I worked from 8AM-5PM, went and worked out, showered, ate dinner with my family, and then went to the Muny on Monday nights (outdoor musical theatre...
College World Series (continued)
Aug. 23, 2011—The next morning, we woke up at 7:30, and ate breakfast, which was catered for us every morning (pancakes, fruit, eggs, bacon). By 8:30, we were out the door, all of us wearing khaki shorts and various Rawlings Baseball shirts.

Summer Summary
Aug. 17, 2011—Hey everybody! I know I’ve been MIA lately, but I’ve had a surprisingly busy summer! I’ll try to catch you up on some of my adventures:
Freshman Moving Tips
Aug. 17, 2011—It is really hard to believe that summer is almost over but that also means that a new semester at Vanderbilt is right around the corner! As some of us return to campus, we realize the daunting task ahead; preparing, packing, and moving into new dormitories or off campus housing arrangements. For incoming freshman, the...

Aug. 16, 2011—This July, I attended the Sabalauski Air Assault School at Fort Campbell, KY. 10 1/2 days of horrendously hot weather ensued!

However, I’ve been told that typing one sentence will not suffice, so I will endeavor to...
Summer Send-Off
Aug. 16, 2011—Every year, the week before school begins, Vanderbilt alumni chapters around the country hold Summer Send-Off parties. These gatherings bring together current Vanderbilt students, alumni, family and friends in order to welcome new students to the University. The Send-Off gives these new students (and their families) their first taste of the amazing Vanderbilt community.
Growing Up Is Weird
Aug. 13, 2011—Strange, strange things happen at college. Everyone has their stories of “that one time when…,” most of which are probably way cooler than mine. The strangest thing that happens at college, however, can’t be told in a single story (unless you’re 80, then you can probably do it). It’s much too slow and insidious for...
Andy Warhol at the Frist
Aug. 10, 2011—Ever wondered where the phrase “fifteen minutes of fame” came from? What does this famous phrase and Cambell’s soup products have in common? The answer would be the famous American painter, filmmaker and graphic designer Andy Warhol
Summer’s End
Aug. 10, 2011—It’s been a while,and as the reality sinks in that I’ll be moving into my dorm at Vanderbilt in one week, I feel an update on my summer is necessary. Since you’ve ideally read about my summer’s start, I can now share a little more about what I’ve done and learned this summer. Working with...
