The October Travel Guide: Nashville’s Top Spots to Bag Your Dream Chick
By Zach “Attack” Folger
Girls everywhere are dramatically shivering in hopes of securing a warm jacket from their talking-stage companions. Fraternity brothers, such as myself, are popping collars across the nation. Literally anyone who’s anyone is whizzing around campus with potential mates on the back of their scooters. Cuffing season is upon us. For me, finding a shortie is as simple as opening my mouth and spitting mad game. However, not everyone at Vandy is blessed with natural rizz and a return offer from Goldman Sachs. For the relationship-challenged, I suggest you let the location do the talking on your next romantic excursion. Read on, and you’ll find the most romantic date locations within scootering distance of Zeppos Tower:
Wyatt Hall Room 213
Picture this: A complete babe walks late into her HOD 1300: Small Group Behavior classroom frantically searching for a familiar face to sit with. Eyes darting around the room, she finally spots me in the front row, nonchalantly taking notes on the lecture while simultaneously mewing. Pulled in by pure attraction and my ferocious gaze, she sits down next to me, entranced. Fellas, ladies love an academic weapon. Do you think I grind out B-pluses on exit tickets just so I can get a good job? I’ve had an offer from Goldman lined up since birth — the grades are for my intelligence aura. I’ve perfected a method of study that my pledge class calls, “The Zack ‘Em Up”: 250 mg of caffeine, 20 mg of Adderall, and 0 hours of studying. It works like 6 out of 10 times. Bottom line? Good brains let you run trains.
The One and Only Parthenon
Is your bae less of a beach person and more of a history buff? Look no further than the Parthenon! Built in 432 BC, the Parthenon is a breathtaking sight that stands as a testament to the ancient history of Nashville. I recently learned about this awesome place in my HOD class after we did our group meditation and doodling exercise. With only one Parthenon in the entire world, (who would even attempt to replicate this piece of history, and why?) this is a sight that is exclusive to the city of Nashville. I also totally appreciate the inclusion of period-appropriate actors that roam the area in tattered garb to enhance the immersiveness of this ancient structure.
The Top Floor of Kid Rock’s Bar
Classy. Spacious. Super good food and drink. Kid Rock’s Rooftop is one of the most exclusive social clubs in Nashville. All of my boys call me the King of Kid Rock’s so you could say I know a thing or two. I’m pretty sure it just earned a Michelin star, so grabbing a reservation here is an amazing opportunity to impress your squeeze. For best results, go in the middle of a hot August Saturday — I sweat a ton, but it frees up room in my body for more alcohol. Weekend overcrowding has never been an issue since they typically limit their clientele to only the most refined, such as myself. When I slap down my father’s platinum Amex card, the bartender immediately knows who they’re dealing with. In full honesty, it is a bit intimidating when you first arrive due to its notorious reputation, but Kid Rock’s is welcoming and always makes me feel safe.
