For decades, secret societies have been a staple of life at U.Va. Originally thought to have been created as social clubs for elite gentlemen who didn’t want to associate with riff-raff, they now function as social clubs for elite students who don’t want to associate with the lesser students of the University — but retain the veneer of philanthropy created by wealthy alumni who donate massive amounts of money to the school.

Over winter break I had the privilege of seeing Cats (the movie, 2019) in one of the many theaters wherein it was showing across the U.S. The audience of six who had come to see this masterpiece grace the screen was ripe with anticipation as the lights dimmed, each of us excited for our own reasons. I presume the group of older men to my left had actually been fans of the Broadway show and were excited to see it on the big screen, in which case I can assume they left the theater feeling incredibly cheated. Everyone else there appeared to be under 25, and was here for one reason and one reason only: to see the absolute disaster of a movie that cost $95 million to make and has only made about $67.4 million to this day. The movie, by all accounts, was abysmal, with fur disappearing and reappearing at random and dance numbers with incredibly sensual overtones for seemingly no reason at all. It was a terrible, overproduced mess that sent out new copies to theaters after release to fix the CGI issues. In short, it was every Gen Z’s wet dream, and I was no exception.

Picture this — it’s halfway through the summer. You’re lying on a beach somewhere, a definitely non-alcoholic beverage of choice in hand. You’re deciding which generic summer caption goes best with your generic summer picture on Instagram, when suddenly, what’s this? A photo from fall semester last year? Well, a little reminiscing never hurt anyone, so you click on the picture.

If you came to the University from literally anywhere other than Virginia, you already know what I’m talking about when I mention Governor’s Schools. As in, you have absolutely no idea what they are, but you’ve definitely vaguely heard of them at some point. Most likely someone totally casually brought one up in conversation, and you experienced that moment of confusion and panic that occurs when someone throws out the name of some Virginia program like you’re supposed to be impressed.
