Roaming the World
May. 11, 2014—We hereby graduated all the seniors on Friday and sent them off to change the world and make Vanderbilt proud. We might have shed a year or two seeing them all grown up. I am certainly not ready for those farewells yet, but I too am going off into the world! This suitcase-living summer is going to be packed with travels to Switzerland, Texas, Ohio, and Maryland, and then back to school we go!
Curd Your Enthusiasm at “The Bloomy Rind” (Sorry for the Cheesy Pun)
May. 9, 2014—This guest blog was written by the illustrious Dave Bruns, my peddling partner to "The Bloomy Rind," an artisan cheese shop in East Nashville. We biked a long whey, almost ten miles back and forth, for our midday meal due to our infatuation with cheese. His witty writing is quite gouda, so maybrie you too will become enraptured by his tale of our quest for mouth-watering goodness.
The Last Last Bash
May. 9, 2014—This post is coming a bit late, but what else is new? It wouldn’t be blogging if I weren’t just a little bit behind. Every year, my sorority has its last date event the Thursday before the Rites of Spring music festival. Called Last Bash, it’s always a fun time hanging out with sisters, and...
The Great Apartment Hunt
May. 8, 2014—Good news, dear readers--it looks like I'll be staying in Nashville for at least a little while post-grad! More on that later, most likely, but this brings me to something that has been taking up most of my free time: apartment hunting.
This is it!!
May. 8, 2014—THE day is here. It’s really weird to think that those chairs set up on alumni lawn are for MY class’ graduation. But that is the reality. Man, these past four years have FLOWN by. There have even been moments during this final semester when I would walk through campus and be oddly reminded of...
Messing with Nature
May. 8, 2014—A post-Finals celebration was in order this weekend, so my friends, Mad Crank and Money, and I road-tripped to Kentucky, where we encountered lots of trees and lots of rocks. It was awesome.
Beach Week, 2k14
May. 8, 2014—Yesterday I returned home from a few blissful days with my most wonderful friends at Panama City Beach. Beach week is a tradition many Vanderbilt seniors take part in-- there's a few days in which we are finished with finals and we desperately want to ignore the fact we are graduating from Vanderbilt and so we escape to sea, sand, and sun to enjoy a bit of calm before the storm.
Guest Blog: Graduating as a Transfer Student
May. 8, 2014—With the countdown to graduation down to only a handful of hours, the reality that two years at Vanderbilt have passed is astounding. As a junior transfer student, I have only been able to call Nashville home for four semesters, yet what has transpired within that time is nothing short of remarkable.
Finals: Done
May. 7, 2014—Finishing the last final of my undergraduate career was a very sweet moment. What helped make it sweeter was the fact that I was celebrating this deed with 10 other girls soon thereafter! How did we celebrate? By being beach bums, of course.
Twenty-one is Twenty-fun
May. 7, 2014—Those who have known me a while know that I love my birthday an unreasonable amount. I have been known to quiz friends and acquaintances alike throughout the calendar year on the exact date of my birth, until it is drilled into their heads. I took a Megabus from Chicago to Nashville for a 10-day stay just so I could celebrate my birthday with my Vandy buds. April 26th is a HOLIDAY.
