No one ever claimed that watching the Bravo or E! channels on TV would make you smarter, or even more culturally aware.
As third year comes to an end for me and I realize my time as an undergraduate is flying by, I've become more sentimental in my attitude towards Charlottesville.
While the arrival of spring does bring April showers and May flowers, for me it brings an insane urge to clean.

Never underestimate the power of good food. Sunday night, groups of people will gather around their TVs all across the country to watch the Super Bowl.
