When the live action Minecraft movie was announced, many questions arose as to what the storyline would be, how animated elements would blend with live action, et cetera. And, quite simply, the film answered these questions in an engaging way, both for diehard fans and anyone looking for solid entertainment. “A Minecraft Movie” may have been a mixed bag in which its comedic elements overpowered any attempt at creating an engaging story, but when it holds a mirror up to its ridiculousness, the film is whimsically fun.

When my roommate goes to sleep before I get home for the night, she turns off the “big lights” — the infamous college dorm fluorescents — and turns on my small bedside lamp so that I have a way to see while I get ready for bed. I make sure to do the same for her.

Just a short 10-minute stroll from Grounds, Mejicali serves up flavorful Mexican dishes with a colorful, casual ambiance on West Main Street. Combining flavors of Latin America with a California spin, the restaurant debuted in Charlottesville last summer with an extensive, reasonably-priced menu of everything from tapas to desserts to specialty cocktails, making it a must-try for college students and locals alike.

First dates, especially in college, are always a gamble. Every once in a while, you’ll hit the jackpot and walk away with butterflies, but most of the time, you'll leave wondering why you even tried in the first place. I have yet to experience that elusive, sweep-you-off-your-feet kind of first date. Instead, most of my recent first date experiences at the University have been low-effort coffee shop meetups, quick lunches and the worst of all — O’Hill dinners. Fortunately, I've shifted my mindset to view these underwhelming encounters as productive — ahem, I’ve learned what NOT to do for a first date. So, what makes a first date actually good? Here's my take on the formula you should use to scheme a potentially perfect date.

Virginia women’s tennis has emerged as one of the strongest programs in the country — not just because of raw talent, but because of the variety of ways it can win. Freshman Martina Genis Salas has clinched tight singles sets using an underarm serve, and seniors Melodie Collard and Elaine Chervinsky won the doubles championship in the fall with dominant net play. The No. 7 Cavaliers, who closed out their regular season with a pounding of Virginia Tech Thursday, can win with creative shot-making, relentless net pressure and overwhelming depth.

With Passover starting Saturday, the Brody Jewish Center — the Hillel chapter at the University serving over 1,000 Jewish students — and Chabad House, a more traditional Jewish center on Grounds, will host a number of events providing opportunities for Jewish students and community members to observe the holiday while away from home. These events also aim to accommodate the dietary restrictions observed during this time.

Late Wednesday afternoon, No. 11 Virginia women’s lacrosse was back in action against No. 9 Maryland in a neutral-site game honoring the Cavaliers’ (10-4, 4-3 ACC) women’s lacrosse alumna Yeardley Love. The match took place on Yeardley Love Field at Notre Dame Preparatory School in Towson, Md. — a match where Virginia brought an end to the Terrapins’ (9-4, 4-1 Big Ten) 15-game, 17-year winning streak over the Cavaliers by a 13-9 margin.

Ah, the early twenties. A time characterized by identity-searching, trying on various partners and, of course, surviving the relentless pressure to have it all figured out by 30.

I wholeheartedly disagree with this.

The University received a letter from the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights March 10 accusing it of failing to protect Jewish students on Grounds. The letter warns that the University should expect sanctions from the Trump administration, unless they take the responsibility for protecting their Jewish students seriously. Two years ago, after a sign at the University’s Chabad house was vandalized, I levied a similar accusation against the University. But the recent federal focus on antisemitism is no cause for celebration. Rather, the Trump administration is weaponizing antisemitism in order to attack the University’s values and promote academic censorship.
