Dimly lit gray walls enclose “Radioactive Inactives,” a striking photography exhibit currently displayed at The Fralin Museum of Art.

When the clocks turn back on Sunday, I celebrate the extra hour of sleep — until the sun goes down at what feels like the middle of the afternoon. It is easy to fall into a slump during this time of year, so here are a few ways to find some extra happiness in the midst of the darkest days of the year.

From 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, the grassy area was transformed into a vibrant space with a large white tent, complete with chairs and tables underneath. After obtaining their plain, blueberry or chocolate chip pancakes of choice, attendees could go inside the tent and top their pancakes with butter or maple syrup.

Virginia returned home to take on Georgia Tech in a Saturday afternoon contest. The Cavaliers (2-7, 1-4 ACC) were hoping to rebound after a devastating overtime loss to Miami, while the Yellow Jackets (5-4, 4-2 ACC) were attempting to continue their momentum after they pulled off an impressive upset against North Carolina. Unfortunately for Virginia, an early injury set the tone for an overall disappointing game and the Cavaliers lost the game 45-17.

Spring enrollment is here — bringing with it the stress and excitement that is planning for the academics of the upcoming semester. While the University’s course offerings are near endless, there is a noticeable lack of classes focusing on healthy masculinity. There is only one class at the University covering the topic, called Men and Masculinities — the course is not even being offered next semester. While I have no doubt this class is helpful, much like how a single class on history would not be able to cover all history adequately, a single 2000-level class on the challenges men face is insufficient. The University should allocate funding to create an additional class on the most dire struggle men face — mental health.

The Cavaliers will enter the season without a player from the 2018-19 national championship roster for the first time in a decade and return just one player with multiple starts from last year’s squad.

The Contemplative Commons project went into high-speed two months after I moved into the Kent dormitory in August 2022. The land that the project built upon was first an obsolete grassfield next to a dead-looking pond. After construction started, it turned into an even more grubby area with its unbearable smell and noises. Although I didn’t like the idea of having a construction site near my dorm, I did feel that there were some shared similarities between me and this mess — we were all once so tangled and trying to figure things out.

Zocalo has been a fixture of downtown Charlottesville since 2003. The restaurant charms patrons with artful Latin American dishes and spirited ambiance. Though an evening at Zocalo comes at a steeper price, Zocalo is a great place to splurge on an intimate dinner or a night out with friends.

As most of you already know, starting Oct. 26, most of the University was engaged in Halloweekend festivities. And, if you didn’t know that, reach out to me. I’m genuinely curious as to what went through some people’s heads when they saw the hordes of “sexy clown” costumes pass by them on the Corner more than three days before Halloween. That being said, here is a little recap of the major talking points from the past week.

Amidst the chaos of preparing for college move-in day — finding LED lights and posters for the walls, or making sure to bring the coveted mini-fridge microwave unit — some students haven’t forgotten to add their cherished stuffed animals to the list. These stuffed animals can help students feel more comfortable in their new college environment, acting as a uniquely portable piece of home.
