Ramadan, a holy month of reflection and prayer, is an annual holiday on the Islamic calendar. This year, the holiday will begin the evening of Feb. 28 and end on March 29.

Dine, students have worked to create a community where those observing the holiday feel supported, such as through offering dining accommodations and hosting meals to break fast as a group.
Ramadan is here, and University students must once again endeavor to reconcile their academic schedule and their religious one. Ramadan is a time for Muslims worldwide to reflect on themselves by refraining from drinking or eating from sunrise to sundown and prioritizing spirituality over materialism.

Ultimately, the University must better institutionally support Muslim students by implementing greater academic flexibility, enabling Muslim students to fully observe Ramadan without compromising their education or well-being.

Being in a committed relationship is nothing short of a highwire balancing act between the three big C’s — compromise, communication and change. Inevitably, as a relationship grows more mature, certain complex and uncomfortable issues tend to arise. For many, a repeat offender that causes these frustrating conversations is a difference in libido levels. More simply put, one partner wants more sex than the other.
Editor’s note: This article is a humor column.U.Va. students have turned to the drug GlucoSlim, a close relative of Ozempic and known on the streets of Charlottesville as “G-Slim,” to achieve their spring break "beach bods," but a sudden shortage has left many scrambling for replacements.

After the sun set and the temperature cooled in Round Rock, Texas, the contest between Virginia and Oklahoma was deadlocked at four runs apiece going into the 12th inning Sunday.
