I find so much peace and solitude in turning on one of my favorite shows in the midst of a busy day. The ability to take my mind off the exams, assignments and projects that plague a typical semester is something very precious to me. The best part is that TV shows are something you can have on in the background while taking care of a different task. It is my hope that there is something for everyone on this list of comfort watches. In my opinion, comfort watches can be anything you enjoy that allows you to step back from the things on your mind — even if the content of the show itself is not necessarily comfortable.

Ah, fall break — the mid-semester time off formally known as “Reading Days” and ostensibly set aside for study. The long weekend prompts many to partake in an annual mass exodus from Charlottesville beginning as early as Thursday. It’s the perfect opportunity for students to travel back to their hometowns, tour grad schools or experience the nightlife of a new city. My experience was a bit different, though. When it became clear that my own travel plans weren’t going to leave the group chat, I decided to spend my break in Charlottesville — an initially unenthusiastic decision that ultimately turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Sometimes, when plans fall through, things turn out good.

The Cavaliers (1-5, 0-2 ACC) have dealt with constant mental errors and growing pains in 2023, as proven through multiple second-half collapses — but some losses have been partially due to simply facing a superior opponent, like currently ranked No. 17 Tennessee. That was supposed to be the most difficult game of Virginia’s season. A road date with the No. 10 ranked Tar Heels (6-0, 3-0 ACC) is now even more arduous. The Cavaliers gave North Carolina a serious fight in a 28-31 home loss in 2022, but the Tar Heels are now even more formidable with a diversified offensive attack. The Cavalier Daily spoke with Noah Monroe of the Daily Tar Heel to preview the Saturday night matchup.

Over 8,000 people have been killed, more than 17,400 people have been wounded and over one million people have been displaced since Hamas — a militant Islamist group that has controlled Gaza since 2006 — attacked Israel Oct. 7. This enormous loss of human life deserves our unequivocal condemnation. The deaths and endangerment of civilians is never permissible or justifiable. The scope of the humanitarian and moral crisis that not just Palestinians and Israelis who are directly impacted are experiencing but also that diasporic communities across the world are reckoning with is unfathomable. How does the world begin to deal with this abominable loss of life and livelihood? How do we, as a diverse and multicultural University community, think, feel and talk about such an emotional yet tangible tragedy?

Exams and essays have left students contemplating their lives, wishing they could go back to elementary school coloring assignments.
