ASB: “A Day in the Life” in San Juan, Texas
Mar. 20, 2012—This is a little blurb about one of my best spring break experiences in my life. I participated in an organization called Alternate Spring Break (ASB) where students travel to different sites domestically and abroad to engage in a week of service. This is definitely a longer blog, but it doesn't even cover HALF the things I wanted to say about this great organization. If you are interested in learning about a unique way to spend your spring break during your time at Vanderbilt (because you should come to Vandy!), then read on!

Double ‘Dores: The Perks of Going to the Same College as Your Sibling
Mar. 15, 2012—I was the only student from my high school who came to Vanderbilt this past fall. However, I knew one other person when I arrived to campus. My older brother Ryan is a junior at Vandy. Attending the same college as Ryan has had many advantages, from little perks to having the opportunity to strengthen our relationship.
SEC Champs!
Mar. 14, 2012—As Erica blogged earlier, this past Sunday, Vanderbilt upset No. 1 Kentucky to win the SEC tournament title in the New Orleans Arena. My friends and I had docked in the New Orleans Port at 8 am that day. We had just finished our week-long spring break Cruise. There was no hesitating when we decided...
