Ahead of the 2024-25 academic year, Housing and Residence Life preassigned 25 percent of returning resident advisors to specific dorms, including all RAs with Student Disability Access Center accommodations, ahead of the customary RA drafting process. This decision caused confusion and frustration among some RAs and senior residents, who said they felt that HRL was not transparent about the reasoning for the change and did not give straightforward answers about why certain RAs were preassigned.

The arrival of spring means I have a reason to engage in one of my favorite hobbies — cleaning out my closet.

When deadlines pile up and stressors mount, it is comforting to know that there is a space where everything is already all sorted out. But cleaning out my closet has become more than a seasonal comfort — it has also taught me not to rely on school or social media for fulfillment and peace.

After Virginia entered Softball America’s top-25 rankings for the first time since 1995 last week, the team proved to fans why they should be there by winning their weekend series at Palmer Park versus NC State.

Burger Bach — pronounced batch — is the place to go for New Zealand inspired burgers and a good time. The relaxed atmosphere and moderate prices offer the perfect spot for a dinner before running across the street to catch a movie at the Regal theater. Their moderate price range — between $14 and $19 for a burger — and delicious food made it a great dinner for my friend and I after a long week of exams.

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.

Virginia men’s basketball continues to go through another period of uncertainty. Redshirt freshman forward Leon Bond III has already departed via the transfer portal, and redshirt junior guard Dante Harris officially left Friday. Senior guard Reece Beekman and sophomore guard Ryan Dunn — both of whom officially declared for the draft Wednesday and Tuesday, respectively — are probable NBA Draft selections, and the Cavaliers could still lose more contributors to the transfer portal. Many are frustrated with Coach Tony Bennett’s program — punctuated by a blowout loss to Colorado State in the First Four — but there is cause for hope. Talented underclassmen are on the rise, especially freshman guard Elijah Gertrude.

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.
