A Dorm-Room Thanksgiving
Nov. 25, 2011—Every year now, my friends have all organized a special Thanksgiving dinner where we all get together and eat. And eat. And eat! Can you tell that there’s always a ton of food?
Vanderbilt Basketball (Early Season)
Nov. 25, 2011—It’s that time of year again on campus as the football season begins to wind down and basketball begins to gain steam. The nationally ranked Vanderbilt Commodores opened up the 2011-2012 season in Nashville on November 11th with a victory over the Oregon Ducks of the Pacific 12 (Pac-12) conference. Soon after the win over...
A List of Things to do During Thanksgiving Break
Nov. 25, 2011—– Unfortunately, working on work for the following week makes the list. It’s hard to totally forget about the week ahead without realizing that finals are on a couple of weeks away. While this is not something I want to be doing over my break, it will be better for me in the long run!...
Thanksgiving Break So Far…
Nov. 25, 2011—As Thanksgiving on the west coast comes to a close, I’m in the family room, sitting here by the fire watching Space Chimps with my little cousins and thinking about how much fun today (and break so far) has been!
A Change From the Norm: Thanksgiving, Monell’s Style!
Nov. 24, 2011—For me, Thanksgivings in the past have consisted of gathering at my Grandmother and Papa’s house in Brentwood, TN and having the typical spread: a bird, stuffing, beans, lots of bread, and lots of pie. However, this year, my grandparents decided to visit my aunt in Tampa, FL and spend Thanksgiving with her. This left...

Vanderbilt-Oregon St. Basketball Game
Nov. 23, 2011—Although watching Vanderbilt football improve tremendously this year has been awesome, I love nothing more than watching Vanderbilt men’s basketball games. This past Monday, Vanderbilt won an exciting game against a tricky Oregon State team 64-62 on a last second shot by Brad Tinsley to win the TicketCity Legends Classic at Izod Center in Rutherford,...
Accomplishments During Thanksgiving Break
Nov. 23, 2011—I had many aspirations for Thanksgivng break: sleep, spend time with all of my friends back home, sleep, hang out with the family, sleep, finish a political science paper, sleep, study for a biology test, sleep, finish some leisure reading, and sleep some more. But this has to be one of those situations where “it’s...
Why Down South?
Nov. 22, 2011—Are you hesitant about going to school down South? I know my friends thought I was crazy for going to school somewhere that was so different from home, but I don’t regret my decision one bit.
Vandy Loves T-Swift
Nov. 22, 2011—After the end of freshman year, I realized that I wasn’t taking full advantage of all the opportunities that Music City has to offer. So, this year when I was booking my flights back to school, I checked Ticketmaster to see if there were any good concerts. Sure enough, Taylor Swift was playing at the...
