My Nashville Bucket List

All of those places you keep saying you need to go to...

My Nashville Bucket List
Travel Thru History

Somehow, the past three years seemed to speed by and I’ve found myself approaching my final year at Vanderbilt. I can’t help but feel sad about this. This school -- this city -- has become my home and without a doubt one of my favorite places in the world. But bad (especially sad) vibes aren’t fun, so instead, I decided that I need to make a bucket list for all of the things I get to look forward to and enjoy one final time.

1. Pedal Tavern

Now that most of us are allowed to drink (legally), the Pedal Tavern is a must. You haven’t really experiences Nashville until you’ve pedaled up and down Broadway, singing songs, waving at tourists and sipping on the drink of your choice. Plus there are a ton of spaces on it so you can bring everyone!

2. Cummins Falls

There is so much more to Tennessee than just the nightlife that you see in downtown Nashville. Cummins Falls is one of the most breathtaking sites in the state. A mild hiking trail that turns into a spectacular waterfall will bring you back to nature and give you perspective. Even if you’re not an outdoorsy person, you don’t want to miss this.

3. Arrington Vineyards

Whether or not you like wine, this is a beautiful place to be. It’s a beautiful Tennessee vineyard with beautiful, green open space. Sit back, snack on some cheese and bread, sip on some wine, and take in the beauty of this unique spot.

4. Loveless Café

Okay, this is extremely embarrassing, but I still haven’t been here. So while I’m sure that most people crossed this off their checklist during freshman year move-in, I still need to go try these infamous biscuits. It’s a bit of a drive from campus considering all of the food places closer to us, but it’s a Tennessee classic. So don’t graduate without at least trying a biscuit.

5. Frist

We have an exceptional art museum that’s entirely free to Vanderbilt students thanks to the Passport to Nashville program! They have rotating exhibits to keep things interesting. Plus the art here is really great. It’s definitely worth a break from studying to check out.

6. Adventure Science Center

So, I know that I’m a huge science nerd, but I am dying to go to this place! Every so often they have adult nights where they sell alcohol, let you virtually look at the stars, and do cool science things that are a little more adult appropriate rather than the typical kids exhibits.

7. Cheekwood Botanical Gardens

These beautiful gardens are absolutely breathtaking. Once you go, you’ll understand why it’s on the list.

8. Predators game

Even if you aren’t as big of a supporter of the greatest sport out there, there’s a chance you’ll see Carrie Underwood since her husband is a crucial member of the team and they love to support each other.

9. Love Circle Hill

If you haven’t seen the sunset from the top of this hill, you’re really missing out. You can see the whole city and let me tell you, it’s stunning. It’s definitely a little bit of a hike to get up there, but it’s worth every step of it.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

Honorary Roommate
Rachel Zadeits

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one.

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
