I will be matriculating at Vanderbilt next fall after having quite singularly dreamed about doing so since I was about twelve. For background: my mother was a Kappa at Baylor as well as a Baylor Beauty, my boyfriend is an SAE at Vandy, and I have spent most of my high school career reading existentialist and post-modernist literature with my Columbia-bound best friend, quoting Tom Stoppard and WB Yeats, hunting down Che Guevara t-shirts and red Converse tennies, fostering my voice's operatic proclivities, learning all the music of "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" and "RENT", and lamenting the fact that I've only been able to don my puffy white debutante gown once for the deb ball. One need not sacrifice one's intellect and individuality in the name of rush week conformity! Who is to say that upon the nightstand of a classic Vandy girl a copy of Cosmo cannot peacefully coexist with the latest issue of Timothy McSweeney's Quarterly Concern? A happy Vanderbilt experience need not be relegated only to those who flaunt Ferragamo flats and Prada purses or Thomas Pink ties and Cartier cufflinks. College is what you make of it, no matter where you are. I fully plan on affecting a happy union between the part of me that wants to relocate to the jungles of Chiapas, Mexico to fight alongside the Zapatistas, and the part of me that aspires to masterfully concoct the perfect chicken salad (white meat only!) from the Junior League of Atlanta True Grits cookbook while sweetly explaining that I feel a special affinity for Shelby in the flim "Steel Magnolias" because I too am a diabetic with all of the spitfire and none of the fatal lack of juice. I could not be more excited about my future at Vanderbilt, and I have every intention of both completing a Latin American Studies minor AND rushing for the sheer wash of sororital adrenaline and the amazing, multi-faceted people I know I will meet.
