Why Spring Break Comes at the Perfect Time
Mar. 12, 2016— Life moves so fast at college, that taking a week off is necessary to not only recuperate, but to remind ourselves to appreciate every day we have at school.
Reflecting Back on ASB
May. 7, 2015—Less than a week ago, the New York Times published an article about the Pine Ridge Native American Reservation in Kyle, South Dakota. The same reservation where I, coincidentally, spent my spring break on ASB two months ago.
Spring Break: Choral Edition
Apr. 12, 2015—I stared at the coach bus the 45-member Concert Choir would be riding for the next 14 hours to DC. I imagined the long, boring bus ride, the buyer’s remorse of going to DC instead of ASB, and even worse: the thought of anxiously singing in front of high schoolers who just wanted to go...
Spring Break Adventures
Mar. 15, 2015—Hey guys! As a Vanderbilt student, there are so many different ways to spend your Spring Break.

Marathon Summer: Unconventional Engineering
May. 2, 2014—*Guest blog by my roommate and fellow burger-enthusiast, Mary Kate Hardy Last semester I discovered one of the hidden gems of engineering in the form of a Biomedical Engineering elective course, titled Service Learning in Guatemala. This course included a trip to Guatemala over Spring Break to repair and service medical equipment. Never have I had more fun in an engineering class. The hands-on learning experience was incredible, and fine dining and zip lining with your professors was a blast too.
Cheers from Chattanooga
Apr. 11, 2014—My friend A., who lives in Atlanta, didn't want to drive four hours to Nashville and I didn't want to bus it four hours to Atlanta, so we chose a halfway point: ChatChat, as I fondly call it.
Storytime Snippets
Mar. 31, 2014—Hello friends! Time to draft a list of everything blog-worthy that has happened in, oh say, the past two months that I haven't yet told you about. Okay Ann. Goal-setting time. I'm going to tackle each one of these subjects, including events like Unveiling the Hijab, BCM Spring SPOTS, a trip to Chattanooga, and perhaps twelve other things, and write about them. Just one a week. Doable.
