ANCHOR DOWN Today, Tomorrow, and Forever

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Vanderbilt chapter.
Game Day. 
It’s game day. You wake up in the morning, go for a jog around Centennial-Park, and race back to your dorm to prepare for the best day of the week- tailgate Saturday. Sorority sisters race to their houses to grab highly coveted “sorority stickers” as gifts for their favorite frat boys. Girls gather in their rooms, blasting “We Can’t Stop,” while piecing together the perfect outfit for the day.
 
Southern tailgates are more than events, but traditions. We put on our best sundresses and cowboy boots, anticipating the moment we can run through frat row to our favorite houses. Tailgates are the beginning of a tradition that truly makes Vanderbilt home.
 
Home is Home. 
This weekend is Homecoming, a gathering of students, alumni, parents, and teachers all united in their love for Vanderbilt. Tents cover Alumni Lawn to welcome back past students and bring entire classes together yet again. This weekend, they’ll carry on the lifelong tradition of tailgating with all of us. Vanderbilt will always be home. 
 
Mix it Up x JUDITH MARCH 
But game day is not the only day to rep your favorite team. Judith March has designed a collection of game day tanks that are perfect for everyday wear. I LOVE the VANDY Rock & Roll Cow Girl tank. I pair it with gold leggings and a leather jacket to rep the Commodores every day of the week.

Once a Commodore, always a COMMODORE.
Stacey Oswald, originally from South Florida, came to Vanderbilt as a member of the class of 2015 and got involved with HerCampus her freshman year. She became assistant editor that year and is now the Campus Correspondent for Vanderbilt HC as a sophomore. Stacey is currently a columnist for Ask Miss A- Nashville and the life section of The Hustler. She's also very involved in her sorority, Kappa Delta, as well as Invisible Children. Outside of school and her extracurriculars, Stacey finds happiness in many sources, the most crucial being exercise and the sun. She loves to attend exercise classes and is an avid runner; she recently completed the Country Music Half Marathon. She also loves Vitamin D, especially when on the beach- though of course, she only soaks up the sun after applying SPF. A few of the things Stacey couldn't live without? Good food (especially from Sweet Cece's, Bricktops, and Samurai Sushi), great books (The Hypnotist's Love Story is a recent favorite), her family back in Florida, her wonderful boyfriend, and all of the great friends she's made at Vanderbilt.
