Engineering students finally have a place to grab a snack, get some coffee and catch up on their chemistry homework without walking halfway across Grounds.
The Beatles once sang, "I get by with a little help from my friends." After Yoko, that philosophy didn't hold up so well, but somehow I still have faith.
Sometimes University students need a way to add to the change in their pockets. The solution: Get a job. University students who want both to get away from the University fishbowl and make money sometimes choose to work off Grounds and immerse themselves in areas of Charlottesville beyond the University. Dean of Students Penny Rue said she likes students to work on Grounds because "it allows them to make a deeper connection with the University community," but added that she realizes off-Grounds job opportunities tend to offer higher pay or experience more applicable to life after graduation. Second-year College student Joe Geraghty chose to work at the Gap in Fashion Square mall to earn some extra money. "I needed the money, which was what made me decide to get a job in the first place," Geraghty said.

Doctors and nurses in white rushing in and out, patients streaming through the doors, complaints ranging from a toothache to a heart attack, the scent of a hospital permeating through the white-walled rooms -- the emergency room can be an extraordinarily intense, fast-paced environment.
Man, this is a crazy place. Over the past week, I've lost three hours of sleep to quantum shifts, or as you philistines call it, "time zone changes." It's like it turns midnight on a certain day and they go, "change your clock, young man," and I say, "ok cool." So at midnight, my computer clock jumps and my international cell phone clock jumps.
The Cavalier Daily family lost its beloved matriarch this past weekend. Sharon Bradley, the CD's longtime receptionist, was 54 years old. Bradley began working at The Cavalier Daily in 1990 on a temporary assignment, intending to only stay a few weeks.
Once again, we find ourselves in the middle of election season here at the University.

You're broke. All the money from your summer job that was supposed to last you the whole year is gone, and it's only February. Luckily for students now counting their pennies, there are many sources of employment around Grounds, including the Newcomb Hall information desk and game room, the libraries, the gyms and the University Bookstore. While some students said they want a job to earn some extra cash, third-year College student Jessica Barnett said she originally started looking for a job to help support herself. "My mom is a single parent, so I wanted to make my own money," Barnett said.
I am going to relate to you the following anecdote -- it is heartbreaking, but true. Last weekend I called my family to see how they were doing.
Around this time last year, I was on the beach in Cape Town, South Africa. I actually got a tan, which, given my freckled Irish skin, is pretty miraculous. Now I'm wading through icy slush to class.
