In the spirit of livin' it up as a fourth year, I've decided to reinstate some long-gone U.Va. traditions.
Playlists are part of the iPod revolution that has taken over Grounds. Everyone is in his or her own world; students have become zombies with earphones.
Many students at the University admit to guilty pleasures. Some may confess to their secret crush on Justin Timberlake, their love for statistical analysis or their habit of AIM stalking everyone they have ever talked to online. One of the most common subjects one can hear a student discussing is his or her obsession with a certain reality show.
Dear Admissions Office,I hope it's not too late, but I'd like to think I've made your job a lot easier.
Geography can be a pretty dry subject in a classroom. But it seems geography is actually more important in social interactions than one would think, as many University students have found. A geographical tour of the United States reveals that students deal with a variety of stereotypes.
I have seen plenty of relationshipfights in my 21 years of life. Two people get in a fight and hold out on the "I'm sorry" until both have sufficiently complained about one another, as loudly as they can and with as many text messages as necessary (if the two are separated). Personally, I think it's a healthy thing to open up every once in a while. So, when most couples have it out, the guilty party apologizes and the world keeps spinning.
Dear Cranberry Farms, Just because you put a layer of white-meat turkey on top of your platters, do not think you are fooling anybody.
This summit has been an incredible failure," said Peru's U.N. representative Tina Vargas. She was speaking viavideo conference to students around the nation, including approximately 40 University students in Zehmer Hall Friday.

Each week, The Cavalier Daily asks a student 25 questions and allows him or her to eliminate five of them.
The skinny nerd with glasses and a pocket protector -- that is exactly the picture that pops into many people's minds when they think of an engineer.
After going through an inordinate amount of reading this weekend, I have finally figured out what makes my assignments so utterly boring.
Not many people can lose $10,000 in one day and just move on. But then again, most people don't win $360,000 in one day, either. Former University student Eric Froehlich recently became the youngest player to win a bracelet in the World Series of Poker and has grown accustomed to the world of high-stakes poker. But less than a year ago, Froehlich was still a student at the University.
I have so much work right now I shouldn't even be writing this column. You have so much work right now you shouldn't even be reading it.
Every day, Charlottesville hears R&B and classic soul on "92.7 KISS FM, WUVA, Charlottesville's Ten In A Row Station." Behind the scenes, University students produce the shows, write the news stories and cover sports in the area.
Check out these sweet U.Va. football cheer palindromes I came up with: Go Cavalier! Us? Sure, I lava-cog. Do, Groh!
The death of Chief Justice William Rehnquist has catapulted nominee John Roberts into the Supreme Court spotlight as his potential successor.
As students continue to get situated in their new living areas, they still may be looking for furniture for their new place.
Gooch or Gucci? Copeley or Coach? Brown or Balenciaga? Much like what you wear or what bag you carry, where you live is a key factor in how "cool" you are.
First-few-week fervor hasn't fizzled out entirely. I'm still running into friends I haven't seen since last year, still doling out my standard "How was your summer?" with an earnest shot of enthusiasm.
