I’m Wide Awake
Nov. 12, 2012—This past weekend, I took a vacation. After a hectic week in which I had three midterms and a nine minute speech all within the span of five days, I needed some time off to regain my sanity. Sure, I could have waited a week and relaxed over Thanksgiving Break. But, a better opportunity presented itself.
VUT Show: The Taming of the Shrew
Nov. 12, 2012—This past Friday one of my best friends and I went to see the latest VUT show. The show was The Taming of the Shrew, which is a play by William Shakespeare. As usual, the show exceeded my expectations.
Art in the Vandy Bubble
Nov. 12, 2012—I am not creative or artistic in any way. But, that's ok! I can still get my fill of the performing arts here on campus. This weekend, I saw Taming of the Shrew, played Drag Queen Bingo and saw Later That Same Evening.
Poetry Performances
Nov. 10, 2012—One of the activities that I am involved in this year is CCRF, or Creative Campus Residential Fellows. This past week we went to an event as a group entitled Daniel Beaty: Transforming Pain into Power.
NashTrash Murder Mystery Tour
Nov. 9, 2012—I know that I always talk about CityVU because it is one of my favorite student groups here on campus. Last night, CityVU rented out the NashTrash bus for a private Murder Mystery tour. Due to last minutes cancellations, my room mate and I got to go!
There’s a job for everyone!
Nov. 9, 2012—This week has been crazy because of the workload that is always heaped upon students pre-Thanksgiving break. However, it’s also been busy for me because it is one of the few weeks I hold an actual job during the semester. As such, I wanted to talk a bit about the perks of working at Vanderbilt!
A Busy Few Weeks
Nov. 8, 2012—I’m so sorry for the short hiatus. It has just been a crazy few weeks. I can’t even begin to tell about all that has happened here since the last time I blogged. I guess then, I will just choose a few of my favorite things. 1. I only have one more test between now...
Phi Lamb Semiformal!
Nov. 8, 2012—This past Saturday was one of my favorite weekends of the semester. My sorority, Sigma Phi Lambda (the Christian sorority on campus) hosted our annual semiformal! It was a fun-filled night of line dancing, desserts, and more all planned by yours truly.
Preparing for the “Real World”
Nov. 8, 2012—The Vanderbilt Center for Student Professional Development offers several services that have been very helpful as my friends and I frantically try to stay on top of job applications
The Land Down Under
Nov. 8, 2012—I love to travel. Always have, always will. So far I’ve been to every continent except one…Australia! (I went to Antarctica on a school trip my junior year of high school, but that’s a story for another time). Anyway, when it came time to decide whether or not I wanted to spend a semester abroad...
