Art has taught me that sometimes, you just need to look at something through a new lens to gain an appreciation for it. My journey to this realization began when I was young. My older sister displayed a high proficiency for art, so my family thought that maybe I also possessed artistic skill. They placed me in the same summer art camps with my sister in hopes of cultivating some hidden talent within me. Spoiler alert — it never came out.

For as long as I can remember, I have kept a journal. I think I was six when I first started journaling with a notebook that had a lock and key — after all, a six-year-old has pretty confidential information to hide from prying eyes. In fact, I was so paranoid that someone would read my journal that I would rip up each page of a journal after I had finished using up all the pages.

What has been a series of wintry weeks in Charlottesville looks to continue on Thursday as a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain approaches the region. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for snow accumulations between two to four inches, ice accumulations to around a quarter inch and sleet.
The University banned all in-person gatherings and urged students living on and off Grounds to restrict movement outside residences to essential activities in a University-wide email Tuesday afternoon. The announcement comes following a “troubling” increase in COVID-19 cases and the spread of the more contagious B.1.1.7 variant of the virus. The policy will go into effect Tuesday at 7 p.m. and will be reevaluated Feb. 26.

The National Weather Service is once again alerting Charlottesville-Albemarle residents to the possibility of winter weather in the University community following a snowstorm Thursday night that resulted in four to five inches of snow, hazardous travel and the cancellation of in-person classes Friday.
My first year, I needed help moving my things out of my dorm for winter break. The end of my exams lined up awkwardly with my family’s schedule, so my mother was the only one able to help haul my suitcases and IKEA bags of clothes and books to the car. I lived on the third floor of Dillard, which had no elevator available. In addition, the gates were up in the circular driveway around Gooch-Dillard, so there was no place to park other than the stadium. I really didn’t want to make my mother — who had been having sciatic nerve pain for the past month — brave the hill up to Dillard, three flights of stairs and then back again with all of my things. We opted to park at Runk, but we were given a warning ticket by the University 15 minutes before 5 p.m. — the standard time for parking to become unmetered. Though we didn’t have to pay that particular time, we would incur a fee the next time we were caught in a similar situation.
I hate Valentine’s Day. I know — hating this holiday seems to have become a personality trait. It fits the grungy vibe that seems to be trendy nowadays. I wouldn’t say my hatred is that strong. I just hate the unrealistic expectations that some people have for this random day in the middle of February.

The National Weather Service has issued another Winter Storm Warning for the Charlottesville area as a quick-hitting winter storm is forecast to hit the Mid-Atlantic region from midnight to noon on Sunday.
As January closes and February is underway, we’re another month to the already thirteen-ish months of living through a global pandemic. This past year has been, in minimal terms, tumultuous and historic. Now, I have never been much of an active person in the first place, but like others, I am beginning to run out of new hobbies and random things to try out. As a result, I have resided myself to endlessly scrolling through Instagram and rewatching the entire Marvel cinematic universe in chronological order. And seeing that I have exited the baking bread, Animal Crossing and Among Us phases of quarantine while also failing to learn how to crochet a miniature blue penguin, I scoured the internet in search of new things to explore this semester on Grounds. Being an excellent and kind individual, I’ll share my ideas below. Please enjoy these five safe and University-friendly activities to attempt this semester.
In December, the University announced that during the 2021 spring semester, all students living on Grounds or in the Charlottesville area would be tested once weekly on specifically assigned days. Getting tested regularly is a vital part of containing COVID-19, especially because the virus can be spread to others even when one is asymptomatic. However, frequent testing is only one aspect of the University’s plan for controlling the spread of COVID-19, and a negative test does not guarantee complete safety. While the weekly testing certainly provides peace of mind for many vigilant students, it is necessary that students do not use them as a reason to disregard current guidelines and regulations.
There are few things in life that are timeless — writing thank you notes, weathered paperback books and Polaroids. Even though the phenomenon began in 1948, the Polaroid and other similar instant cameras still hold prominence today, using self-developing film to produce the print of a picture taken shortly beforehand. The incredible ability to instantly capture a moment and make it tangible opens the door to thousands of possibilities — immortalizing memories, moments, emotions, celebrations and even the most mundane of occasions.

February is officially in full swing, and that means Valentine’s Day is too. On a recent trip to the grocery store, I found myself surrounded with all things red and pink as soon as I entered. From gourmet chocolates to stuffed animals to heart-shaped novelty gifts — you name it and they had it. Walking past the front of the store, I felt a slight pang in my heart when I realized I would — once again — have to spend the holiday alone this year.
