AOII Winter Semiformal
Dec. 4, 2011—Last night was AOII’s third party of the semester, winter semiformal. Our venues are always a surprise because we meet at the house and ride together, so when the bus pulled up to the Country Music Hall of Fame, everyone was pretty excited. But I’m getting ahead of myself—
The Original Cast Presents Fingerprints
Dec. 3, 2011—All this weekend, the Original Cast is performing their show this semester, Fingerprints.

8 College Essentials That No One Ever Told Me I’d Need
Dec. 2, 2011—There are a few items that I either brought to college as a First-Year or bought as the years went by. These items have more or less saved my life (and grades and money, etc) since I’ve been here. Allow me to list them!
Mayfield Showcase
Dec. 1, 2011—As I’ve mentioned a few times before, I live in a Mayfield, which is like a small two-story house with ten people who each have their own room, share two bathrooms, a common room, and a kitchenette.
Tortellini Tuesday Revisited: An Insider’s View
Nov. 30, 2011—Last year, one of my friends and fellow bloggers, Ryan, wrote about Tortellini Tuesday. In fact, he even mentioned me! It’s because I work for Vanderbilt Dining to fulfill my work study allotment.
