My First Thanksgiving
Dec. 8, 2013—Last week saw the coming of Thanksgiving and all the festivities and traditions that come with it. I am talking about the turkey, pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce, green beans, corn and maybe even mashed potatoes. That may not be an exhaustive list but it is more or less comprehensive. As a Kenyan, Thanksgiving isn’t actually...
Thanksgiving Happenings
Dec. 8, 2013—Thanksgiving Break this year was awesome. It was kind of a tease because after a week-long break, we had to come back for a few more days of classes and a week of finals, but I soaked in every moment of free time I could.
DIY Red Velvet Cake Balls
Dec. 7, 2013—At Starbucks, these treats are $1.50 a pop. I can only longingly gaze at them through the glass. But these irresistibly delightful sweets are surprisingly simple to make on your own and are perfect for gifts both for friends and professors alike. Here's a step-by-step guide, complete with commentary, to assembling your own tantalizing gourmet cake balls on a budget.
Melo Cyrus
Dec. 6, 2013—Perhaps even more daunting than the prospect of imminent papers and finals was The Melodores‘ annual winter concert. The couple of weeks leading up to (even Thanksgiving break, to an extent) had been rather taxing, to be honest, and juggling rehearsals and classes was becoming increasingly difficult. I was also, however, incredibly excited. Our practices...
Coolest Classes at Vandy: English 200
Dec. 6, 2013—With the semester coming to a close, it’s been a little hard to get in the holiday spirit with finals looming in the distance, but I had some help courtesy of Professor Amanda Little, who teaches one of the best classes I've taken at Vandy!
A Plug for Biodiversity (and My Major)
Dec. 6, 2013—Dear readers, I have the best major. My introductory/foundational Cognitive Studies class, PSY-PC 1207 Minds, Brains, Contexts, & Cultures, just wrapped up with a final project about effecting social change. In the spirit of my second passion, Communication of Science, I integrated topics from my human biology class (BSci 105) to present the importance of biodiversity...
Avoiding Death during Dead Week
Dec. 3, 2013—In just under 5 days, I will begin the grueling week long marathon that is exam week. With a total of 5 exams to take during the 7 day period, it's going to be an unpleasant week.
The Performances Will Rock
Dec. 1, 2013—This last week of school is going to be crazy with all of the exams that are cropping up, but it will also be a performance-seeker's dream come true! All the groups on campus are pushed into performing during these few days, packing our last week of classes with excellent displays of how talented Vanderbilt students can be...
The Thanksgiving Scramble
Nov. 18, 2013—It is Monday. This is my list of things to do: Time to freak out. Not. This week, the week before Thanksgiving Break, is probably the worst week of the fall semester. It doesn’t help that there is only week after Thanksgiving before Finals start. Scary, scary times. How do you combat this feeling of...
GRE (prep) for FREE
Nov. 11, 2013—If you ask me what I'm doing after graduation, you'll probably get one of two responses: 1) "no clue" or 2) "grad school." If I respond with "grad school," you'll inevitably ask for what, and then I will inevitably respond with "no clue."
My Craziest Week Yet
Oct. 6, 2013—Last week was possibly the craziest of my time at Vanderbilt. After months of preparing for the LSAT appendicitis tried to get in my way of taking the test, but there was no way I was letting an organ the size of a finger stop me!
I OVERSLEPT!
Sep. 23, 2013—I guess the title says it all, I OVERSLEPT! I woke up today around noon , which meant missing three lectures. Yes, it felt very bad. I had to put my clothes on in three minutes and run to Buttrick Hall to catch my 12 o’clock class. This is not something I am particularly proud...
