Maybe your grandmother escaped from a concentration camp in Germany. Or maybe you have met Holocaust survivors or visited the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C.
Hi. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who made my birthday so special today -- my birthday was on Wednesday the 23rd -- and also I would like to say a shout out to the girls in Amigos who gave us their table and so graciously walked into the restaurant, saw that we'd been waiting and then told us that we could have their table because we'd been waiting patiently and they just didn't want random people who'd just walked up to sit down there, since we'd been waiting for a while.
Final projects and papers are being completed frantically. Exams loom large on the horizon. The libraries, full of dead-eyed students attempting to make up for a semester of procrastination, are beginning to look like refugee camps.
Unless they've been lost in the dark recesses of Alderman, most University first years have realized that this past year has been eventful.

You should not have to take a Commerce class to know the difference between an IRA and an ING. These terms sound like another language for many people, but they will be the guardians of your money for years to come.
This past weekend was good practice for me. I spent Saturday afternoon at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, watching the Baltimore Orioles lose in their typical maddening fashion to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
For University students, Easter meant anything from spending time with family to suspiciously eyeing an Easter egg-making station at O'Hill. While some students went home, others said they did nothing at all. First-year College student Tiffany Bassford said she spent the weekend at home with her family and her boyfriend, not coming back until Monday morning. Bassford said she did her schoolwork in advance so she wouldn't be behind. Like Bassford, second-year Engineering student KaShauna Gill said she went home for the holiday. "I went home and went to two church services and ate dinner with my family," Gill said.
Kate Spade bags, J. Crew wardrobes and Tiffany jewelry? Not for these girls. Forget the stereotypical sorority girl, because Theta Nu Xi Multicultural Sorority is breaking the norm in Greek life and on Grounds in general. Many of the members of Theta Nu Xi said they would not have joined any other sororities if this one had not been an option.

It's no secret that University students like Dave Matthews. But if you're one of those DMB fanatics that derive vicarious satisfaction from the fact that you go to school in the city where Dave started out, you might want to visit Miller's, our choice this week. Located on the Downtown Mall across from the movie theater and very close to the trolley stop, Miller's is the former employer of one very famous Charlottesville native.
Sporting her navy blue Kappa soccer shorts and WAGS tournament t-shirt, first-year College student Dayna Koeninger laces up her cleats, drops her bag on the ground, grabs her water bottle and U.Va.
As the school year comes to a close, some of the most valued members of the community become those who are soon to be lost to the real world.
It's hard to imagine that in just a little over a month, I'll be taking part in a ceremony where the dress code calls for shapeless black gowns and absurd little tasseled hats.
It's a warm April afternoon. The sun is turned on full blast, its intensity melting away midterm stress and post-Spring Break blues.
Amnesty International, a human rights group at the University, will be holding a fundraiser tonight at Jabberwocky, located on the Corner.
What kind of sport can appeal to both the competitive athlete and the slightly corpus and unfit? Combine water polo and innertubes and you get innertube water polo, a sport that accommodates any type of spirit and body.
When I arrived in my freshman year of high school, I realized that the old-fashioned TBS and WGN "Saved by the Bell" daily marathons had skewed completely my impression of high school.
