From young trick-or-treaters fresh off their parade around the Lawn to University students helping themselves to an assorted fun-size mix from the Corner CVS, it seems that nearly everyone winds up with a pile of extras haunting the kitchen counter. But fear not — there are many delicious desserts you can make that will save you from the monotony of snacking on the same leftover candies you’ve had all season. Here are three of my favorites.

In the dining hall, everyone suddenly wants the same O’Hill protein yogurt bowls for breakfast. Crowds line up at the AFC for the workout circuits that TikTok promises will “tone” in just three weeks. Even in the library, the unofficial uniform — PARKE sweatshirts, Lululemon flares and Stanley cups in hand — makes it look like students coordinated their outfits over GroupMe.
The Faculty Senate met Friday to discuss the University’s recent agreement with the Justice Department which suspended five investigations into the University’s policies and practices.

Filling in at the center position, graduate offensive lineman Drake Metcalf is a conductor — the rest of the offense, his orchestra. Pre-play, he raises his baton. The snap count from graduate quarterback Chandler Morris is like a beating drum, setting a tempo for the other 10 instrumentalists in orange and blue. He snaps the ball.
Last year at the ACC Cross Country Championship, Virginia made history when then-junior Gary Martin won the individual title –– a feat Virginia had not achieved in 14 years.

Flashing lights, a brand new orange NCAA Championship banner and rowdy fans — that is exactly what Virginia envisioned heading into its only official home dual meet Friday against North Carolina.
One of the most exciting bands to break through the metal scene in recent years is Fleshwater, a Boston-based quintet that blends dreamy shoegaze melodies with harsh screams and crunchy alt-metal riffs. After making a name for themselves as a supporting act for Deftones and The Mars Volta earlier this year, they have finally embarked on their first full headlining tour across North America, which brought them to Jefferson Theater Friday.
They have all been, by now, conditioned. It has been like this for five weeks. Nick Simmonds, the freshman forward, touches the ball — even just runs toward it — and the fans rumble.
The setting was a new one. Rather than under the high ceilings of Memorial Gym, the wrestling mat was rolled out at the North Grounds Rec Center. Still, the bleachers filled with fans rich with optimism for the coming season. As the matchups for Virginia’s Blue-Orange intrasquad meet were introduced Friday, the crowd went quiet, intent to see the first display of Cavalier wrestling this year.
Sixty minutes is just not enough for Virginia football.
A small crowd slowly filled John Paul Jones Arena, filing in to fill out the lower bowl but only sparsely dotting the upper sections. No band where you might expect it to be — when the team ran onto the court it was to the metallic fanfare of recorded, not live, brass.
For Virginia’s opponents, this spooky season has gotten even spookier thanks to a relentless ground game. The strides of this cavalry’s powerful steeds have buffeted these crisp fall winds in the No. 16 Cavaliers’ favor, with defenders trampled across the turf by the four horsemen of Charlottesville, a group of running backs who can just about do it all.
No. 3 Virginia field hockey reestablished an ACC winning streak Friday with a 2-0 win over Louisville, averting a fourth-quarter resurgence to clinch a victory on the road. The Cavaliers (12-1, 6-1 ACC) cruised past the Cardinals (7-8, 1-5 ACC) thanks to a pair of goals from freshman forward Mary Adams and sophomore forward Amelie Rees that kept Virginia steadily in the driver’s seat for the entirety of the match.
