For two of the eight hours during my last drive home to New York, I listened to Ted Talk Radio. One talk took up the majority of the time, and the speaker’s message has stayed with me in the weeks since that drive.
Although the University seeks to serve the student body in a variety of ways, a group of students noticed a void in what the University provides for students and are seeking to make a change.
1. What’s the deal with texts I receive from my mother? Thanks to pop culture (or maybe Donald Trump, because he is probably the root of all evil,) my mother is a self-proclaimed “cool mom.” This means every other day or so I receive a text in reference to something only 15 year old girls should be discussing.
Christian houses are a popular living option at U.Va., perhaps more so than on other college campuses.
I don’t know if a lot of people watch baseball anymore, but they should. Not because I love baseball, but because I think it’s part of cultural literacy.
Fun fact I learned this week: refined sugar is in just about everything that tastes good. That includes sweets (baked goods, ice cream, candy, fruit juices) but it’s also found in peanut butter, pasta sauce, soups, salad dressings, ketchup, salsa, most processed breads and pastas, and cereals, among countless other food products. After researching for a few days, it became clear like that totally cutting out refined sugars from my diet would be a bigger investment than I had anticipated.
Most college students are enticed by the words “free” and “food” paired together, but Class Council’s Second Year Dinner Series is more than just a free meal.

A month ago, I felt the now-familiar tightness, the now-routine clenching of my throat. Another wave of hushed conversations, another empty space in a familiar, yellow house.
I began a routine last year where I would go to two different coffee shops within a single hour in an afternoon, every other afternoon.
At the Bookstore's poster sale the other day, I bought a poster with a rather intriguing Helen Keller quote overlaying a beautiful image of a wolf's face.
The Virginia Alumni Mentoring Program, launched by the University Career Center and the U.Va. Alumni Association in 2013, works to match alumni mentors from various fields with current students who have similar interests and career aspirations.
When students hear “Homecomings,” one of the first events they think about is the Saturday football game.
Life as a post grad is not the same as undergrad, and it’s not better or worse. It’s just different.
The other day, my friends and I decided to make fun of different majors and the fools who pursue them.
Who would you get lunch with if you could get lunch with anyone, living or dead? I was recently asked this question, and my mind immediately went to Oprah.
From time to time, I come across days laden in abnormal circumstances. Today, for example, I knew from the moment I accidentally poured curdled milk into my fresh cup of coffee that something wasn’t right.
Despite the explicit warning my Abnormal Psychology professor gave at the beginning of the year, I found myself sitting in class the other day with the overwhelming feeling his presentation was a personal diagnosis.
