Ever since I became a student at the University, I have loathed the idea of spending a summer in Charlottesville. To me, summer should be reserved for soaking up as much sunshine as possible, relaxing at the beach and getting around to reading all the books I have accumulated over the year — extra time at the University always seemed like the opposite of that. However, after spending time on Grounds this summer and appreciating the natural beauty of my surroundings, I am beginning to fall back in love with the University.

Virginia women’s soccer had a pair of athletes selected to national team rosters, as sophomore midfielder Yuna McCormack and sophomore goalkeeper Victoria Safradin were called to represent their countries on the global stage. McCormack is headed to Athens, Ga. for the United States’ U-20 Women’s Youth National Team Training Camp July 8, while Safradin reported to Zagreb, Croatia Thursday to start training with the Croatian women’s national team.

A pit stop at Bodo’s Bagels is a must-do at the University. Students swing by Bodo’s on the Corner to fuel study sessions, cure hangovers and catch up with friends over a weekend brunch. Though more conventional orders — like a bagel with cream cheese or an egg sandwich — are common, many students concoct more peculiar orders. This week, my friends and I called upon more seasoned patrons for Bodo’s inspiration, trying five of the most intriguing Bodo’s sandwiches recommended to us by our fourth-year friends. Some of these orders demonstrated the elderly wisdom of the eldest class, but others made us wonder whether these soon-to-be graduates — and their palates — are ready for adult life.

Virginia women’s lacrosse started the NCAA Tournament on a high note with a decisive first round victory against Long Island University Friday. The No. 5 seed Cavaliers (15-4, 6-3 ACC) took home the victory at Klöckner Stadium against the Sharks (11-8, 9-1 NEC) by a 21-6 margin, finding their form in the second quarter to earn a lopsided win.

While Virginia women’s lacrosse has had its share of lows in 2024 — the most recent one being a 19-4 defeat at the hands of No. 4 Syracuse in the ACC Tournament — the highs have been noticeably more frequent. Much of that is because of co-captain and senior attacker Morgan Schwab, who has tallied 18 goals and 53 assists in just 18 games played this season. Schwab brings an offensive presence that can’t be ignored, as just this season she has broken the all-time and single-game assists records for the program. The senior’s contributions on and off the scoresheet are crucial to the No. 7 Cavaliers’ (14-4, 6-3 ACC) success and will largely determine how far they go in the NCAA Tournament.

It's time to be real. I'm afraid I've been keeping a secret from you for a long time, and the moment to come forward has finally arrived. I’ve always advocated for honesty and transparency, so it’s only fair that I stick to these values for the sake of the students at this University and the readers of The Cavalier Daily. I, Cecy Juárez, am one of the three “squirrels of U.Va.” running the @thesquirrelsofuva page.

After my big in my sorority and I spread the word about our dining experience at Oakhart Social last month, the rest of our “family” — including my cousin, grandbig and great-grandbig — wanted seats at the table, too. As we all sent suggestions in our group chat for somewhere that we could affordably dine, my great-grandbig suggested Thai Cuisine and Noodle House, citing the drunken noodles as the best she has ever had. The price point was almost as appealing as the food itself, with most options under $17 and the most expensive item we ordered costing just $13.50.

Virginia’s Friday semifinal matchup in the ACC Tournament was one to forget for the No. 6 Cavaliers (14-4, 6-3 ACC), who were thoroughly beaten by Syracuse (14-5, 8-1 ACC) by a 19-4 margin. Virginia was second-best in almost all facets of play, and an early lead taken by the No. 4 Orange was too much for the Cavaliers to come back from.

Virginia women’s lacrosse ended its regular season play on a high note Wednesday at Thompson Field in Blacksburg, as the Cavaliers (13-3, 6-3 ACC) got the better of their in-state rivals Virginia Tech by a 14-12 margin in the Commonwealth Clash. The win over the Hokies (9-8, 2-7 ACC) was another important one for Virginia in the ever-competitive ACC as the team carries momentum into the ACC Tournament.

Starting in the Fall 2024 semester, the University's new Gaston and Ramazani houses on Brandon Avenue — two buildings comprising one residential complex — will house 338 upperclassmen. While currently under construction, residents can anticipate 37 furnished eight-bedroom apartments and six seven-bedroom apartments. All residents will have their own bedroom, and the apartments will come furnished, with the complex also containing a new food court.

Virginia women’s lacrosse continued its ACC campaign Saturday in a home clash against Boston College. The No. 11 Cavaliers (12-3, 5-3 ACC) defeated the No. 3 Eagles (12-3, 6-2 ACC) in overtime by a 13-12 margin. The contest was a massive victory for Virginia and may prove to be a critical boost for their chances in the ACC and NCAA tournaments.

In my final year as Assistant Managing Editor at The Cavalier Daily, I was directly Slacked 668 times. Realistically, no human being can fully address 668 notifications, 668 article ideas or 668 issues needing attention — but that impossible task was my job. I had to do my best to solve one problem at a time before moving on to my myriad of other responsibilities. Now that I am retired from The Cavalier Daily, I have the time to consider some comments I saw but ignored in my haste to finish edits. In particular, I have come back to these five messages that I received during my time on staff here at The Cavalier Daily.

While I write this I find myself, as I often do, in the Doldrums. While it may be an old sailing term, I associate the landscape of the Doldrums with its fictional counterpart in the Lands Beyond from Norton Juster’s “The Phantom Tollbooth.” It is a place one slips into when they lack direction and thought. A place where nothing happens and nothing ever changes, so killing time is the only thing to do. A place where boredom is all-consuming, and you can only help escape by literally just thinking.

I’ve been a part of The Cavalier Daily for as long as someone could be — eight semesters strong. I never expected to stay this long. Starting out, I was just grateful to find somewhere to work out my atrophying writing muscles and feel like a part of the University community from the confines of my dorm. I’ve always liked writing creatively, and Life Columnist seemed like a safe place to try that out without much pressure. My understanding was that I would only share my perspectives on life in a very wholesome way. After all, the Life desk is all about everyday life on Grounds. I thought I would be like some kind of Gossip Girl — writing silly, personal columns every two weeks and never leaving my bed.

The University recently announced a new campus, set to open in Fairfax County in 2025. The Fairfax campus will offer 8 of the 12 undergraduate and graduate schools offered on Grounds. This initiative advances the Great and Good agenda of University President Jim Ryan, which emphasizes, among other things, the importance of expanding the University’s socioeconomic accessibility. In keeping with this goal, the University has aspired to create a “Grounds away from Grounds” with regional campuses which primarily serve those who are seeking non-traditional experiences in higher education. The University’s expansion into Northern Virginia should be celebrated, as another laudable attempt to expand the accessibility of education initiatives and overcome the University’s inaccessibility.

After a big Wednesday win at home against VCU, Virginia women’s lacrosse hit the road to take on Louisville in a return to ACC play Saturday morning. The Cavaliers (11-3, 4-3 ACC) kept their momentum going against the Cardinals (6-8, 2-5 ACC), picking up a 13-8 win after pouring home five goals in the final period.

It’s okay — the people and things we love often have a few red flags, and the University is no different. Some red flags crop up among the student body, while others are inextricably linked to the University itself. From hyperactive LinkedIn users to questionable statistics in the Stall Seat Journal, here are the most glaring red flags on Grounds.
