On any given weekday, Newcomb Hall is bustling with the typical restless chaos of an American college environment — students grabbing a quick bite to eat at the dining hall, scrambling to finish a homework assignment or ordering a pick-me-up coffee from Starbucks right before class. Last night, however, Newcomb radiated a more vibrant energy with bright colors, music and celebration as the University’s Hindu Students Council hosted its annual Garba Night in Newcomb Ballroom from 6 to 10 p.m.

There was an intimate and friendly atmosphere at IX Park Thursday evening, as the Charlottesville Pride Community Network — a local nonprofit that provides support and engagement through resources and yearlong programming events for the local LGBTQ community — hosted a Thursday Night Market Pride Takeover as part of their weeklong Pride celebration. Music played in the background as community members of all ages bought food and other treats, socialized and explored local vendors and nonprofits under a colorful myriad of tents — with the occasional spotting of a dog or two.

2020 has been consequential, to say the least. COVID-19 — a once-in-a-lifetime global pandemic — has had painful effects on the economy, revealed structural issues in the American healthcare system and highlighted inequities in education. Movements against systemic racial inequality have been reinvigorated, and wildfires have demonstrated the dangers posed by climate change. All of these variables and more have been recognized by voters across the country as threats to the unity of American democracy. In the midst of this political and social turmoil, students and faculty members have shared their outlook on what voting means to them and why it matters, especially for this Election Day.

Rising third-year Nursing student Phillip Phan pursued nursing to give back to the medical community that had treated his father with compassion and respect after he was diagnosed with kidney failure. Phan was motivated by his desire to heal, to help and to care about people.

While working as an emergency services coordinator at a local homeless shelter, rising fourth-year Engineering student Rob Schwartz began to consider the difficulties of coordinating organization efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated their guidelines last week recommending that people wear covered masks in public spaces, especially in potentially denser areas like grocery stores and pharmacies. This announcement comes after original discouragement by health authorities regarding wearing and buying masks, but due to increasing evidence of asymptomatic carriers — those who are infected with COVID-19 but do not have symptoms — masks are now suggested to prevent “silent spreaders” from spreading germs to others around them in public.

It’s the atypical office romance — late deadlines, cutting and pasting headlines and resisting the Oxford comma to abide by AP-style guidelines. It’s the ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s — dozens of young college students are bonding in The Cavalier Daily office over sleepless nights. While covering Watergate, President Hereford’s election and even facing the University administration’s shutdown of the paper, some staff members also found their lifelong partners among their companions in the office.

As Charlottesville local Grey Gresser walks into Cville Pride 2019, he recalls the many pride festivals he’s been to before and the journey that he has had with his identity. A year and a half ago, Gresser came out as transgender and continued to build bonds within the LGBTQ community, seeing people that he felt his story intertwined with.

As a new semester peers around the corner, the few days leading up to the start provides University students critical time to reflect on past semesters and brainstorm any changes — or “New Year’s resolutions” — they would like to make in their college lifestyles.

In my high school calculus class, I remember my teacher passing out pamphlets advertising the mysterious world of computer science. In bold capital letters, printer paper screamed “DO YOU LIKE RIDDLES? DO YOU LOVE SOLVING PUZZLES?” These pamphlets were the product of a teacher’s hopeful attempt to lure students into signing up for an AP Computer Science class the following year.

Summer nights are for “Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives” reruns. Although I have always loved this show, it is even more compelling to me right now. As a self-proclaimed foodie who has lived in the same town for years and is working at home during the summer, the show is a friendly reminder that good food can be made by anyone — even an amateur like myself — and found anywhere, not just in far-off places. It can be jealousy-inducing to witness friends posting pictures of delicious and extravagant dishes while on vacation or studying abroad. But venturing far is not the only way to engage in the culinary arts, as its episodes celebrate local cuisine and the self-trained chef.

This past weekend, the Latinx community on Grounds made history by hosting the very first Latinx Alumni Weekend. Although they are only six percent of the University population, Latinx students are setting their minds on a bigger future. This is a foundational step to mobilize and build a larger system connecting students, alumni and community members.

In my American Studies class, we recently covered a topic on tastes, another form of classification and categorization in American society. As if we needed to differentiate ourselves more, we began to compare and contrast likes and dislikes. It’s true — we think we can form a judgment on someone based on what someone likes to wear or listen to or read. As this lecture progressed, I — naturally, of course — began to judge myself.

In elementary school, the go-to “favorite season” always meant birthday season. If you’re birthday was in the spring, it was only logical that spring would be your favorite season. I used to fall into that trap as well. However, as I have gotten older, I have adapted my preferences to the “this-or-that” game. Fall or spring? I would have to choose fall.

In early September, I received an email of scheduled races from the University’s running club. As I scanned the list, I was struck by one race in particular that was only 50 minutes from where one of my best friends attended college in North Carolina. This was my aha moment — this 5K was my ticket to seeing him. It was a win-win situation — I could burn some calories, and as a reward, do some old-fashioned catching up. Without much other thought, I confidently added my name to the racing roster. It was clear to me: not only was I “best friend goals,” but I was also a master schemer.

Driven by a desire to gain “valuable work experience” and the knowledge that concert tickets do not grow on trees, I decided to take part in the annual summer migration of young adults into local ice cream shops all over America. Full of naiveté, I was completely unaware of the humiliation I would experience.
