I feel trite and unoriginal writing an article about dining halls. These buildings are inspiration for thousands of polemic columns berating them for volatile nutrients, urine-like odor and, in an unfair attack, their propensity to harbor most every disease listed in the dictionary.
Only women take SWAG classes. This has become a common stereotype at the University in recent years.
OK, how cool would it be if this were actually a class? Much more useful than making English majors take science courses.
Amid a pan of frosting, plastic spoons and rolls of paper towels lay an open magazine illustrating various styles of piping.
You've seen it in pink writing on a purple background in alternating capital and lowercase letters in an AIM profile.
Let's talk about how I got to go to the ballet for free. Friday was simply a bizarre day in general: in the morning, I completed my final registration at the Université de Lyon, so of course I ran all over creation, turning in this form here, paying for health insurance there, making a photocopy in that office there.
Some people just talk about environmentalism. You've heard them -- the ones who preach about saving the polar bears but consider recycling too much of a hassle.
Oh man, do I ever love Wikipedia. I'm gonna arbitrarily assign old 'Pedia a male gender for the purposes of this rant because, in fact, he's like my pal. Anyway, the guy is amazing.
There I was, standing in front of my television, screaming like a madman to encourage the men in helmets I saw moving before me.
If college is about one thing, it's about tailgate parties. But if college is about 70 things, one of those must be studying.
While many University students have gone on to become activists, few participated in sit-ins at age 6.
Every once in a while, a class comes along that really makes you re-think what you know about something.
What is a surefire way to get a college student up and out of bed in the morning without coercion or bribery?
The Sickness is an epidemic on college campuses. By "The Sickness," I am referring to the habitual cough, the stuffed-up nose and the overall tiredness that makes waking up before 1 p.m.
After a long summer of family road trips to obscure tourist attractions, counting down the hours until lunch at work and an unfortunate (and injurious) lesson at a square dancing club, I was at a loss for column topics.
At the University, the letter "V" usually means one thing. It can be spotted anywhere on Grounds -- on posters, buildings and students' T-shirts.
A free concert for peace was hosted by the City of Charlottesville last Tuesday to commemorate the anniversary of September 11, 2001.
I have an inexplicable love for teen movies, especially when they involve makeovers. Who could resist Rachel Leigh Cook in "She's All That," when she goes from geek to chic by taking off her glasses and putting her hair down?
Fresh off a recent trip to Orlando, Fla., I was frequently asked to recount my most memorable experience.
Beer brewing might sound like a fictional course out of some sort of comedy poking fun at college classes, but the Engineering School's Rodman Scholars Program proves that thought wrong. Rodman Scholars are required to take four seminars, or RodSems, during their four years at the University, and for the past two years, the program has offered a seminar on beer brewing for students who are at least 21 years old.
