After becoming a household name with “The Sixth Sense,” director M. Night Shyamalan has seen both blockbuster triumphs and failures. Despite receiving criticism from the film world for a reliance on twist endings and unnatural, awkward dialogue, Shyamalan continues to forge ahead with a string of self-financed films. His newest film, “Trap,” continues his decade-long trend of consistently entertaining, empathetic and expertly shot thrillers.

Virginia athletes have been making waves at the 2024 Paris Olympics, and the women’s tennis duo of Class of 2016 alumna Danielle Collins and Emma Navarro are no exception. Collins and Navarro, holding the No. 8 seed and No. 11 seed in the 64-player singles tournament, both represented the United States this summer in their first Olympic appearances. Each had their moments, but Navarro was eliminated in the Round of 16, and Collins was sent home in the quarterfinals. Collins also competed in the women’s doubles tournament, where she and U.S. teammate Desirae Krawczyk were defeated in the second round.

The 2024 ACC Preseason Poll was released Wednesday, and Virginia football was picked 16th out of 17 teams, landing only above conference newcomer Stanford. The poll is voted on by 170 members of the media, and the low ranking suggests an expectation that the Cavaliers will not improve much from the 2023 season, in which they posted a mere two conference victories.

Emma Navarro’s quarterfinal run earlier this month at Wimbledon, global tennis’s most hallowed tournament, placed her firmly among the constellation of tennis stars who will attract the most attention at the Paris Olympic Games. That is because of her Wimbledon performance. But it is also because of her personality, on and off the court. Her steady composure combined with her quiet confidence makes her a key former Cavalier to watch in this year’s Games.

Blame it on my childhood obsession with “Wizards of Waverly Place,” my teenage obsession with “Gossip Girl” or my current obsession with Woody Allen movies — whichever you choose, I have always identified as a “city girl.” Despite never actually living in one, I considered the quick wit, chic fashion and curt attitude that define city life as key personality traits. This part of my self-image took a hit when I moved to Washington, D.C. this summer and failed to find my footing. Now, after spending 10 weeks in a big city, I am ready to admit that maybe I’m not a city girl after all.

For many students, cleaning up horse manure and medical equipment forces lunch into the throat. However, to a few thousand students at the University, it is not only a want but a need. Volunteering is both a way for students to give back to Charlottesville and to practice classroom learning in the real world. Therefore, volunteering should be encouraged to the fullest extent possible, whether through the University itself or through Madison House, an independent organization that aims to match University volunteers with various needs in the Charlottesville community. However, the Madison House system has been bottlenecked to a point where it has become competitive to volunteer. This bottleneck creates an inefficient, almost cutthroat atmosphere that is antithetical to the purpose of a volunteering organization. Therefore, it seems that to preserve the value of volunteering on Grounds, the University should divert funding away from Madison House toward other resources that can better facilitate student engagement.

A skyrocketing median age of the House of Representatives and Senate. Elderly senators who freeze when answering questions. Increasing numbers of officials who die in office. And, of course, the upcoming presidential election which, until a month ago, boasted the two oldest nominees in history. All of this has called to attention a shared characteristic shared amongst the greater part of America’s politicians — old age. While President Joe Biden’s withdrawal presents a solution to the most immediate age concerns, former President Trump’s age alongside many in Congress remain a disappointing presence that is hard for young voters to process. As a college campus with many students being first-time voters, the age of our national politicians should not only disappoint us but also galvanize us to support local democratic systems that energize a new political generation — namely the University’s student self-governance system.

On an average Saturday morning, many young Americans are active early in the day playing recreational sports. Youth basketball and baseball are classic weekend activities in the United States. However, one sport trumps all but soccer. This second-most popular sport in the world is not American football. It is not basketball or baseball either. The honor belongs to cricket — a game from South Asia that many domestic sports fans likely have never watched.

Festivities for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games began Friday, and plenty of Cavalier swimmers have arrived in Paris to compete. After winning four consecutive national titles, it is natural that Virginia women’s swimming is well-represented at the Games — Cavaliers dominated at the Olympic Trials in June and five Virginia women will compete in 11 individual swimming events in Paris. Rounding out the contingent of Cavaliers competing in the pool is Thomas Heilman, a 2025 recruit for Virginia men’s swimming.

The NBA Summer League tipped off July 6 in San Francisco and concluded Monday in Las Vegas, where recent draft picks and other young players had a chance to showcase their skills in the annual offseason event.

If you asked me about turning 20, having to pay renter’s insurance or no longer going to the pediatrician for my annual checkups a year ago, I would have laughed at these milestones that seemed lightyears away. Yet as one month stands before me and going back to Charlottesville for my second-year, the concept of “adulthood” and the fact that childhood is a thing of the past is becoming dauntingly clear. This summer, I’ve had a lot of time to reflect on who I am, who I have been and who I may become. Despite the looming uncertainty of the future, this summer has given me grace and time to learn to embrace change and grow.
