Growing up in my hometown of Pittsburgh, Pa., I was blessed with an amazing group of girlfriends who supported me through all the good and bad. Before coming to college, I truly could not imagine going through any phase of my life without them. Much to my 17-year-old self’s surprise, however, I’ve since learned that I actually can go through new experiences on my own. While it was tough to accept, I now realize that it is impossible to hold on to every old friend whilst moving into new, separate chapters of my life. And guess what? That is perfectly okay.

The final breaths of the semester have come and gone. As many students temporarily place their belongings in local storage units and procrastinate unpacking those big, blue IKEA bags, some sentimental goodbyes for the summer seem a bit rushed. After nine months spent on Grounds, a number of University students are eager to return home to something — or better yet, someone.

Stepping up to the plate, junior infielder Jade Hylton took a deep breath, re-velcroed both batting gloves and tapped her hand against her helmet before getting into her stance. Standing in the batter's box, Syracuse junior pitcher Madison Knight threw a first-pitch rise ball. Hylton timed her swing perfectly, taking the ball for a ride. Gradually standing up, everyone waited to see if the ball would go out, and the second it did, they erupted in cheers. Home run history.

As they prepare to walk the Lawn, graduating fourth-year leaders are leaving their mark on student arts organizations.

Arriving on Grounds in 2021, the University’s graduating Class of 2025 saw a smaller collection of buildings than the one they are now preparing to leave. Many of the new projects fall under the University’s 2030 Plan, which aims to position the University as the top public University by 2030 through initiatives which support the community and foster a population of service-oriented students.

As fourth-years’ time at the University comes to a close, some students are looking ahead and planning their future careers. Through support from mentors, alumni connections and Career Center resources, many fourth-years have endured the job application process and landed positions at law firms, investment banks and even abroad. However, uncertainties in the job market may inhibit a smooth job search process and career.

The University’s arts scene is a thriving one with student-run theater productions and a cappella concerts, coupled with film screenings, gallery shows, comedy nights and literary journals. This is, in no small part, a result of the passionate student artists on and around Grounds who bring it to life — not just as performers or creators, but as writers, editors and commentators.

Despite Punxsutawney Phil’s prediction, graduation weekend has arrived. From theater to media studies to even architecture, graduating arts students are soaking in their final days as University undergraduates, begging time to slow down, even considering graduate school to prolong their tenure in Charlottesville. Inevitably, however, after diplomas are received and caps tossed high above the Rotunda, these students must reckon with the ultimate question — what comes next after the University?

After a successful regular season, Virginia received its second consecutive NCAA Tournament bid for the first time in program history — a trip to Columbia, S.C. to take on North Florida, Elon and the host program, No. 8-seed South Carolina, in the NCAA Regionals. The Cavaliers (37-17, 14-10 ACC) got a much better draw this season than they did in 2024, when they fell at the hands of No. 2-seed Tennessee in the Regional round.

Scanning into venues has become a norm of the digital age. Fans wield the Ticketmaster app at the gates of JPJ, and moviegoers present a QR code to enter the Violet Crown. In recent years, the University has experienced a continuation of this trend with students scanning into parties using DoorList.

The Trump administration’s recent cuts to federal research funding have resulted in a loss of over $60 million in grants for the University. The reductions have affected multiple research projects, including those funded by agencies such as the National Institutes of Health and National Endowment for the Humanities. It is unclear how future allocations will be impacted.

Just under two months ago, a discouraged Virginia women’s lacrosse team walked off the field at Klöckner Stadium to the sound of the halftime buzzer. The score was 4-9 in favor of Duke, and although the Cavaliers (12-7, 5-4 ACC) had cut the deficit from six to five, it seemed an impossible task to complete the comeback.

Saturday afternoon at the Virginia Tennis Facility, No. 7 seed Virginia defeated No. 10 seed Arizona 4-2 to punch its ticket to the NCAA quarterfinals for the 18th time in the last 20 years.

For those who have not followed Virginia baseball this season, 2025 can be summarized pretty easily. The team was ranked No. 2 in the national preseason poll, proceeded to stumble into a heinously long absence from the rankings entirely and was on the verge of missing the postseason for the first time since 2019. Now, things have changed.

In most other seasons, Saturday’s thrilling walk-off victory would have taken the pressure off of a weekend. The win clinched the series against a red-hot Miami team, giving Virginia a second consecutive series win over a quality ACC opponent.

After a dynamic 6-1 victory in the series opener, Virginia looked to continue to build on its four-game winning streak in a crucial matchup against Miami Saturday afternoon. Despite falling behind early to the Hurricanes (30-20, 14-11 ACC), the Cavaliers (29-16, 13-10 ACC) relied on clutch offensive performances and an excellent bullpen effort to battle back to a 10-9 victory.

The No. 7 Virginia women’s tennis team saw its promising season come to a disappointing end Friday afternoon in a 4-0 loss to No. 10 Tennessee in the NCAA Championship Round of 16. At the Boar’s Head Resort in Charlottesville, in a rematch of a February meeting at ITA Indoors that Virginia won 4-2, the No. 10 Lady Vols turned the tables with a dominant performance to advance to the quarterfinals.

I used to think in black and white. I had strong opinions, a clear sense of what is right and the stubborn belief that my side was the correct side. Now, as I am getting ready to graduate, I am less sure of what I think. I am more reluctant to play the arbiter of good and bad. And I take pride in my ability to understand perspectives on many sides of an issue. This growth — or devolution, depending on who you ask — is, in part, due to my time with The Cavalier Daily.
