This will be the last article I write for The Cavalier Daily. I haven’t had a long career with the paper, but these past two years have been fun. My only real goal was to make one person laugh a little bit when they read my work. Some articles missed the mark, others were on target.

The end of football season marks the beginning of primary season (and RuPaul’s Drag Race season 12). Now’s the time for all those Government majors to flex their niche knowledge of electoral politics and make you feel bad about not really knowing what’s going on. Anway, The Cavalier Daily sent me on the campaign trail to see what the word on the suburban street was and we stayed in roadside motels with two stars (the news editor wouldn’t go below three). There were many words, some not so nice, and I’m ready to share. Below are some takeaways, overheard conversations and general observations.

KIDZ BOP recently released their 40th album, and my goodness did it hit the ground running. With some tracks getting over 6.5 million plays on Spotify, it is proving to be one of their most popular. I am truly surprised at the longevity of the group — the first KIDZ BOP album came out in 2001. And unlike all those 2000s punk rockers that get angsty and divorce their partners at 40 to elope with a 24-year-old, the KIDZ BOP crew is strangely feeling younger than ever.

Use good sources, don’t cut corners. Let’s move the media forwards.

I have been trying to figure out what to write about for my column this week, but there hasn’t been any real political news to cover recently. Just kidding. That was the worst, most obvious joke I’ve ever made. Trump might be impeached! This is the biggest piece of news that’s been covered since “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” was canceled by TLC. Trump, the terrible, insane, xenophobic, greedy, racist, homophobic, comb over needing, corrupt politician might be reduced to regular human status, and I am excited. I can’t wait for him to do what every other ex-president has done — get a book contract and go on a lecture tour. I really am looking forward to the day when Trump’s only speaking engagements are at some weird Elk Club or an American Legion in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and not in front of thousands of Americans who think he represents the future of our country.

Earlier this month, Breitbart News’s weather columnist died from vaping related causes. They quickly filled the position, and the replacement is a familiar face. You may know him, I hope you dislike him, and he isn’t pretty. It’s Donald Trump. His recent articles have all been under 280 characters and rely too heavily on capitalization. After this decision was announced, the White House tweeted that it too would be using Trump as their main expert on weather related events. This is probably not a good thing. Why would the White House rely on a president who does not have any background in weather? Because much like rising sea levels, the White House is knee deep in boiling water. Why shouldn’t we trust Trump like we trust Al Roker? Because Mitch McConnell trusts him, he spews misinformation, and unlike Roker, Trump hasn’t been on Family Feud.

You’ve heard it before, you’ll hear it again — the American political climate is so thick with tension, not even a Magic Bullet could chop through it. Controversy upon controversy has piled up, but one thing has finally broken the camel’s back, and this time … it actually is a straw.

While my favorite team on Grounds is the women’s water-polo squad, my second favorite is the basketball team. U.Va. basketball not making it into the NCAA Tournament this year was a tragedy! After making it as far as the second round last year, I was hoping that we would make headway and at least get to the Sweet Sixteen. We were not so lucky. After accumulating a 5-11 ACC regular season record and finishing 12th in the ACC, the Cavaliers missed the cut off for tournament play.

The Trump administration recently proposed a gag rule that would adversely affect Planned Parenthood. The administration has made some proposed changes to Title X that would basically ban medical professionals from referring persons and patients for an abortion. The gag rule muffles any conversations about abortions alongside many other types of preventative health care. These changes have the potential to suffocate Planned Parenthood and all the people using it by dangling funding above the non-profit’s head.

I was talking to my good friend the other day, and he reminded me of something that I can’t believe I forgot about. Yes, the fall may be upon us, but there is something even more important on the horizon. No, it’s not Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Palooza or the hope of holiday songs beginning to play on the radio. It’s shoot your shot season. In case my dad is reading this, I will explain what shooting your shot means. When you shoot your shot you take the risk of pursuing a person that you are interested in. You ask them out to dinner. You ask them to a date function. You ask them to Final Fridays. If you’re really feeling brave, you ask them to Grit.
