My First American Thanksgiving

Dec. 8, 2013—I’ve had the privilege of experiencing quite a large number of American things over the past year and four months. One notable thing I didn’t get the chance to do last year, however, was celebrate an authentic American Thanksgiving. I had spent Thanksgiving break with a friend from back home, and the true spirit of...

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.

A Visit to Small Town Kentucky

Dec. 7, 2013—This year for thanksgiving I got to visit two of my suitemates' hometown. Kelsey and Jodi are both from the same small town in Kentucky and I'd heard so many stories about it, I had to visit!

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...

#VUthankful

Nov. 29, 2013—A couple of weeks ago, the fearless leaders of Inside ‘Dores asked us to tweet, Instagram, etc. what we’re thankful for and use the hashtag #VUthankful.  While sadly I did not quite accomplish this before Thanksgiving was over, I’d like to take this opportunity (much as Eileen and Victoria did) to show you some Instagrams...

Apple Crisp Adventures

Nov. 28, 2013—Like many of my fellow Inside 'Dores bloggers, I occasionally like to try my hand at the culinary arts. I, tragically, have not had much time to do so at school this semester so when I came home and heard we were in need of a Thanksgiving dessert, I readily volunteered to make one. The added kicker? One of our guests is gluten-free. Challenge accepted.

Nov. 28, 2013—Like Victoria said, this Thanksgiving is making me a little nostalgic. I've had such a great time at Vandy and have so much to be thankful for! In no particular order, here's what I'm especially thankful for this year:

Happy Thanksgiving!

Nov. 28, 2013—It's Thanksgiving, and I've just consumed far too much delicious food (my family eats early). Thanksgiving has caused me to be a bit nostalgic and think over the past couple of years, and my time at Vanderbilt is definitely a huge part of what I'm thankful for this year!

The Epic Airplane Saga

Going Behind Enemy Lines

Nov. 25, 2013—Where most people were scrambling to get home as soon as they could to be in their warm cozy homes, I went on a pilgrimage to Knoxville, Tennessee with 100 of my fellow Vanderbilt Football fans to support and watch our team as they played the Tennessee Volunteers at Neyland Stadium.

The Break Begins

Nov. 24, 2013—Remember how much I was looking forward to Thanksgiving Break in my last post? Not to say that it's all completely over, but I've taken the past couple of days to wear my polar bear pajama pants and relax.

A Bodacious Break

Nov. 24, 2013—What better way to get back into the swing of blogging than to leave Vanderbilt? I jest, but this one is coming to you from Oak Ridge, TN, as I begin my Thanksgiving break mere miles from the site of yesterday’s football victory over UT, denying UT a bowl game for a second year in...
