Spring Break Recap!
Mar. 26, 2013—Three weeks later = fashionably late. Thought I forgot, didn’t ya?
ASBasketball and Tutoring
Mar. 19, 2013—So as I posted before leaving, I spent my Spring Break on an Alternative Spring Break trip called Jungle Gym that went to Kansas City, MO. There, we worked with the Niles Home for Children, a home and school for kids who have emotional trauma and psychological or behavioral disorders. We slept on the floor...
Visitors, Sigur Ros, Adventure Weekend, Barcelona, oh my!
Mar. 18, 2013—Hello friends, Wow it has been a really long time since I have posted a blog and to all of my faithful followers out there, I apologize. So much has happened since my parents came to visit me almost a month ago – so I am just going to dive in with some of the...
A Nashville Spring Break
Mar. 15, 2013—Most people leave campus for spring break and as such have epic tales of lands far away to blog about. I am here, though, to tell you all that spring break in Nashville can be fun! If you're an international student or don't have the money to travel, there's plenty to do...
ASBest Spring Break
Mar. 12, 2013—This year for spring break I went on Alternative Spring Break to Jackson, Mississippi. It was an incredible week during which I became ASBest friends with 11 new people and learned about the problems facing Jackson.
Just the Break I Needed
Mar. 11, 2013—I spent this past week in bright and beautiful Miami Beach. Although it was a little colder than usual (about 20 degrees below average), the sun was out and my family was there. Spring break is the only real break we get during the semester and although many of my adventurous peers participated in service trips and fun getaways, I knew that I needed some family time to make it through the semester.
Taking a Week Off
Mar. 6, 2013—Since Monday, Vanderbilt has been on Spring Break and I have been using my week as a way to take some time off school and prepare for the second leg of my Spring Semester. During Spring Break, most Vanderbilt students will go off to the beach or go on Alternative Spring Break. I chose to...
Pinterest Recipes and Ballet Bar Workouts
Mar. 6, 2013—Spring Break: I don’t really believe the “spring” part, but the break is needed. I’m visiting my roommate’s wonderful family in Denver, Colorado, and it snowed so much yesterday! I sat in their kitchen mesmerized at the flakes falling gracefully to coat the ground with a fresh layer of snow. Nashville hasn’t really introduced me to...
Reflections and Prospects (Spring 2013)
Mar. 4, 2013—There’s something exquisitely comforting about a sitting room with a grand piano dominating one side and a heap of quintessential American snacks in the center, ringed by a ragtag bunch of musicians and one Lebanese kid. This is the second night I spend in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and while cheese puffs, Chex Mix, and Ale81...
I Get By With a Little Help from My Friends
Mar. 1, 2013—A huge part of the college experience is the friends you make. Some of them are the long-term kind that will eventually lead distant relatives in the Macarena at your wedding reception. There are also the kind of friends that you had a Statistics class with once, so you awkwardly smile at them whenever you walk past them on the way to class. Regardless, all of the people you invest in and engage with during your college experience are important, and I thought I was done making friends by the end of freshman year. AU CONTRAIRE.
’til ASB!
Feb. 28, 2013—On Saturday morning at 8 AM, I will be driving one of two minivans pulling away from Vandyland headed for Kansas City, MO for Spring Break. While KCMO may not sound like the most exotic, or even exciting, Spring Break destination, it is actually going to be one of the best weeks of the year...
Spring Break in New Orleans
Apr. 10, 2012—It's that time of year again where I share what fabulous Spring Break option I decided on this year, about a solid month after I went. It should come as not much of a shock to you that this break I once again went on a missions trip with the Vanderbilt BCM. This year, the BCM went to New Orleans, a city I had never visited, so I was extra excited to go.
