‘Spring Break’
Chronicles of Narnia: the Student, the Shift, and the Family
Dec. 24, 2014—Going home for the holidays might not be what you expected it to be. Sure wasn't for me the first time.
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.
Five Days of Harry: Day 1
Mar. 16, 2014—I'm breaking my accidental blog silence (sorry guys) with a series of posts about my spring break! I'll start out with a little background: this semester, I'm enrolled in a class called Harry Potter and Child Development. Sounds awesome, right?
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...
SPOTSpring Break
Mar. 12, 2013—I totally stole that title from all the ASB-ers out there. It doesn't work quite as well when there are five letters instead of three, but it does get the point across--today, I have the privilege of sharing where I spent my Spring Break: Dallas, TX on SPOTS!
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...

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...
Cabaret!
Mar. 2, 2013—This past week has been a crazy mess of midterms, lack of sleep, and caffeine. That’s why my roommates and I decided to end it on a glorious note. Tomorrow I’m driving them to the airport at 6am, but tonight we went to go see Tennessee Reparatory Theatre’s production of Cabaret...
’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...
