Summer's Hiatus

The world of dating is once again cradled in the arms of a carefree summer for those of us still digging our heels into the sands of education.

Bridging the gap

While working as a volunteer coach for a Charlottesville soccer team, 2007 University graduate Clay Broga realized his younger players also needed coaching off the field.

I am a terrible college student

I should clarify. My grades are fine, I am responsible with alcohol and I maximize my undergraduate experience every day (after all, I did just go to the last Second Year Series Dinner). I keep things in perspective and develop healthy attachments ... with the sole exception of Gmail and Alderman Café. My area of fault lies not in the gauge of my character or my intellectual tenacity, but that I, like many women before me, am a terrible packer.

Life lessons in clumsiness

In my very first column for The Cavalier Daily, I wrote about the time I fell down the stairs behind Bryan Hall and ripped a hole in my pants.

Horsing Around at Colonial Downs

With the Foxfield Races right around the corner, University students tend to catch some form of horse racing fever this time of year, whether it be marveling at the athleticism of the horses or simply shooting a passing glance at the blur of movement on the other side of the cooler. Wouldn't it be nice to make Foxfield last a little longer?

The final countdown

The end of the semester is a time of reflection. You might be reflecting on nights of fun with friends, old flames or some of the information you will be tested on in a few days.

Long live the Waterloo!

It rains every day in London. The locals hate Americans. The food is terrible. The city is so expensive. When I decided to study abroad in London, I didn't know what to expect.

Last will and testament

It's a bleak Sunday morning in Charlottesville, and I, Erik A. Silk, am a bit scared. Yeah. I'm not so much scared of not having a future, whether or not I should be.

A conversation on curriculum internationalization

It's quite a mouthful, but it's been on the lips of students and faculty since last semester. Curriculum internationalization catapulted into student discussions on Grounds with Student Council's creation of the Committee on Curriculum Internationalization.

Reaching new heights

What's on your University "bucket list?" Securing a job, winning the Gusburger challenge and streaking the Lawn are only a few of the lofty goals some students at the University hope to accomplish before they graduate.


Life

End of the line

The funny thing about college newspaper writers is that we are unceremoniously fired after four years of dedicated service, no matter how magnificent the prose, no matter how hard-hitting the journalistic prowess.

So long, and thanks for all the memories

This is my last column after two years of writing for The Cavalier Daily, and, therefore, it carries the onerous burden of being the best article ever, for as comedians and weight-lifters say, you should always end strong.
