Happy end of the longest accelerated semester ever! You made it, and now there’s a new Taylor Swift album here to help you celebrate. Released less than five months after the exceptional “folklore,” “evermore'' is its younger but wiser “sister” album and Swift’s most mature production yet. “evermore'' presents 15 new songs with stories that continue “folklore”’s work to blur the lines between biography and fiction — only this time, Swift’s characters navigate love and loss from later stages in life.

Virginia football fell to Virginia Tech 33-15 in the battle for the Commonwealth Cup Saturday night at Lane Stadium. The Hokies (5-6, 5-5 ACC) burst out to an early 27-7 lead against the Cavaliers (5-5, 4-5 ACC) before maintaining the upper hand throughout the second half to bring the Cup back to Blacksburg. Controversial play-calling and a poorly played first half hurt Virginia as the Cavaliers struggled to muster any offense against a solid Hokie defense.

Do you remember the times when we would devour books in mere hours or days? I miss the moments when we would go home after school and jump into bed with the latest book we snagged from the library, ready to read it all in one sitting. I miss those chilly October mornings spent wandering through the aisles of the Scholastic Book Fair just wishing I could take everything home. It seemed like there were never enough books to read! Authors like Mary Pope Osborne, Rick Riordan, John Green and J.K. Rowling all gave us unforgettable narratives that always left us wanting for more — more books.

In a semester unlike any other, students at the University have had to adapt to many changes in the school calendar — this year, students were asked to take their finals from home, but had the option to remain on Grounds only if they intended to stay there until the start of winter break. The University is continuing prevalence testing over the break and requiring that students staying in Charlottesville be tested once a week at the Central Grounds Garage.

A team of scientists, which included University researchers, found that dexamethasone, a steroid used to treat severe cases of COVID-19, is less effective to treat COVID-19 for those with diabetes and other risk factors. The discovery suggests that further research is necessary to understand how to better treat diabetic and at-risk patients with COVID-19.

In any normal year, Virginia football fans would likely be bickering with their Virginia Tech friends and family about this year's football game or wagering friendly bets. This would have been the best year for it in a long time, as the Cavaliers won the rivalry game last year after losing in the previous 15 meetings.

Over the last 125 years, Virginia and Virginia Tech — schools separated by less than 150 miles — have faced each other on the football field 101 times. The in-state rivalry has been full of dramatic games, thrilling storylines and plenty of animosity on both sides.

America is often heralded as the land of opportunity, but for many, this opportunity comes at an unaffordable cost. For some Americans, the hardest choice when it comes to college is not which college to attend, but rather whether or not to attend college at all. Going to college opens doors but can come with crippling debt, while not going to college is free but almost ensures financial stagnation. Luckily, financial aid exists to combat this problem. Financial aid makes college a possibility for millions of Americans and thus deserves our celebration.

It’s 5:30 p.m. in late November, and the window above my desk is pitch black. Will Marsh of Charlottesville-Richmond-based band Gold Connections joins the Zoom room. He’s just as hit by the early darkness as I am, so we joke about that a little. Even over Zoom, I’m daunted by Marsh. One of his songs joins every car ride I take, and I’m worried I’ll sound too enthusiastic — or worse, not enthusiastic enough.

2020 has been a rollercoaster for Megan Thee Stallion, who faced everything from the legal drama surrounding the release of her EP, “Suga,” being shot by Tory Lanez — and consequent victim-blaming and gaslighting from the general public — and receiving immense backlash and controversy for her sex-positive collaboration with Cardi B — “WAP.” After such a tumultuous year so early on in her career, Megan Pete — known professionally as Megan Thee Stallion — could have retreated from fame and the music industry. No one would have blamed her. Instead, she returned with her debut album, “Good News” — a rightfully boastful and triumphant celebration of her empowerment and resilience.
