My Job
Dec. 9, 2012—Though many of my friends at Vandy hold on campus jobs during the semester to help cover expenses, I have never worked during the school year - until this semester. I started working in August for the Vanderbilt Global Education Office (GEO) as a Peer Adviser. This basically means that I sit at a desk and talk about my study abroad experience, so it was pretty much my favorite thing.
A Stress Free Finals Week
Dec. 8, 2012—In a few days I will be complete with my 5th finals period. Finals are naturally a really stressful time. There are so many projects to finish, papers to write, office hours to go to, homework to finish, and of course final test. It also does not help that it happens to be at a...

Last Day of Classes and Shrek the Halls
Dec. 6, 2012—Today, classes ended for the fall semester. Tomorrow is reading day and exams begin on Friday. My finals schedule for this semester isn't too bad. I had two finals papers due today, and I have three exams. I will be home for winter break in just a few short days. To celebrate the end of classes, my room mate and I went to ICE! at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel.
Rand Holiday Party
Dec. 6, 2012—Although I was not fortunate enough to attend the Grammy Nominations (wow I am so jealous), tonight was still a great night for me! Why? It was Rand’s annual holiday party!!! As you can tell from my last post, I am into the whole food thing. So obviously this was something I had to attend....
Awards Show Stories: Grammy Nominations!
Dec. 6, 2012—Last week I was casually checking my email when I noticed the VPB sent out an email about CBS offering free tickets for the Grammy Nomination Concert in Nashville. As I am a HUGE Taylor Swift fan, I already knew she was co-hosting, so I definitely wanted to go.
The Grammy Nominations Concert!
Dec. 6, 2012—Tonight, on this lovely Wednesday evening, I had one of the best experiences of my life.
Music City you have REALLY outdone yourself
Dec. 6, 2012—Count Down to Music's Biggest Night (The Grammys!)...and I got to be a part of it.
The Radio City Rockettes!
Dec. 5, 2012—Last weekend I fulfilled a childhood dream: I witnessed an absolutely incredible performance by the Radio City Rockettes, right here in Nashville, at the Grand Ole Opry. To say my mind was blown would be an understatement. But this tale deserves some prefacing…. Ever since I was a little girl, every Thanksgiving Day I would...
Catch Up with Victoria (and sometimes Nathan): Chapter VI
Dec. 5, 2012—Today’s topic: Diwali! Find all of the Catch-Up chronicles, including those by master blogger Nathan here! For quite a bit of first semester, four hours of my week were spent learning a dance for Diwali. Diwali’s name comes from the Hindu festival of lights, and here at Vanderbilt the celebration takes the form of an...
Clean Air in Nashville
Dec. 4, 2012—This Sunday one of my favorite student organizations that I am a part of on campus, Students Promoting Environmental Awareness & Responsibility (or SPEAR), hosted a Clean Air Summit on Wyatt Lawn. This gathering was in honor of the Nashville MetroCouncil officially declaring Nashville a “Clean Air City.” Nashville joins 38 other cities, but is...
