This is my last chance to influence my fellow students with corny jokes and obscure references.
As my fourth year comes to an end, I have started to think about the things that I will miss most about the University ? the lovely Grounds (and how refined I feel by calling them Grounds), my friends, those pudding parfaits that you can buy with Plus Dollars, running naked down the Lawn with 20 other people in tow and other such frivolities.
My duty as a Cavalier Daily Life columnist is to inform my fellow University students about issues that are important and relevant to their lives.
Jobs are fairly important, and they are especially hard to come by in this economy of doom that our nation has entered.
I live in a house with nine other girls. It?s not the pillow-fight-in-your-underwear-type of house, but we do have a penchant for not doing our schoolwork.
Do you like it when people like you? Are you sick of pretending to read a book at dinner so people think you are sitting alone on purpose?
Guilty pleasures are often dorky pleasures. Everyone can agree that watching "The O.C." is a guilty pleasure, but since Seth Cohen is so cute and funny, you can get away with it.
Overcome by an attack of emo-itis -- the depression one slips into whenever an exam approaches -- I laid face-down on my bed contemplating the woes in my life.
In light of the impending arrival of Spring Break, I think there are more than a few pertinent topics to cover before you jet off to some tropical island and get in scuffles with the natives while wearing a lei and holding a drink sporting a mini umbrella. The first important item you should bring on your Spring Break trip is your liver -- don't leave home without it.
Ice cream: truly the greatest food ever invented. It deserves hours upon hours of investigation, research and indulgence.
