The first few months of this Virginia softball season were among the best in program history, placing the Cavaliers (33-11, 10-10 ACC) on track for their best record ever. Their dominance was not against exclusively lowly competition either, as Coach Joanna Hardin’s squad proved their mettle again and again with signature victories over high-caliber opponents.

When Zayn left the band One Direction in 2015, he cited his dissatisfaction with their musical direction saying “there was never any room for me to experiment creatively.” Yet, in the decade since, his output indicates that he has done the opposite, with his vocal performances in particular seeming like they have regressed in their previous complexity as he struggles to cast aside the boy band’s long shadow. The creative stagnation epitomized by his fifth studio album “Konnakol” speaks to this struggle, which is present in the album’s messy style and simplistic lyricism.

But on a sweltering Saturday in Charlottesville, a football game was played for the Virginia faithful to witness.

For as long as I can remember, college has been described to me as a time for exploration, extending beyond academic pursuits to include friendships, sexuality and romantic connections. From the steady stream of relationship updates and situationship stories I hear from friends, I know that, for many, romance is a prominent part of the social scene on Grounds. While I’ve watched many of my friends flourish in the dating scene, my own time at the University has centered far less on dating and far more on friendship.
