Fall 2016: A few of my favorite things
Dec. 2, 2016—1. First (full) football game. It’s shameful I know, but this semester I attended my first full football against South Carolina, and I had so much fun cheering on fellow Commodores in the opening game of the season! We lost, but it was still very enjoyable, and I got funnel cake 🙂 2. Class of...
Sophie Druffner: My Life in GroupMe
Nov. 21, 2016—Since my phone is dead so often, GroupMe and email are my primary forms of communication.

University Catholic: Prayer Group (Bible Study) Edition!
Nov. 21, 2016—Why a bible study, though? Especially to freshman me, who had been to youth group exactly once and never really read the bible, “bible study” sounded scary. Like we were translating Greek or something. Seriously, scary stuff. For some reason, the two words also sounded like a huge commitment. Maybe it was the student part of me reacting at the word “study,” but I really didn’t like the sound of that word. Enter “prayer group.” (Shoutout to Phi Lamb :) thanks, y’all :)).

Picking a Major
Nov. 11, 2016—I finally declared my major! But wow, picking a major is stressful- there’s a lot of pressure to make the right choice. What’s even more frustrating is when you finally figure it out only to be faced with the inevitable question of “What kind of job can you get with that major?” from you parents....
The Road to Copenhagen
Oct. 21, 2016—A year ago, I would have told you there was no way I was spending one of my precious eight semesters as a Vanderbilt student away from campus.
