Miss A Columnist

Stacey Oswald, originally from South Florida, moved to Nashville as a member of Vanderbilt University's class of 2015. There, she is the assistant editor of Vanderbilt HerCampus, an online magazine for college girls, as well as a writer for the sports section of the Vanderbilt Hustler. She recently became an initiated sister of Kappa Delta sorority and looks forward to getting involved in more organizations, like an a capella group or a club sport, during her college career. 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 Bread & Co.), great books (The Bungalow by Sarah Jio is a recent favorite), her family back in Florida, her wonderful boyfriend, and all of the great friends she's made at Vanderbilt. If you have a Nashville charity or cultural event, restaurant, boutique, spa, or salon you would like covered on Miss A, please contact Stacey at anastasia.n.oswald@vanderbilt.edu.

I love dessert. Cakes, cookies, pies and pretty much anything with a high sugar content. Last week when I walked into Noshville, Midtown Nashville’s New York-style delicatessen, and saw a huge glass display of chocolate cakes and black and white cookies, I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. I was tempted to just [...]
