As a highly dedicated and studious economics major at the University, I can tell you firsthand that times are getting tough.
The scent of barbecue, the sounds of music and the ringing of whistles wafted from Lambeth Field on an uncharacteristically warm Saturday afternoon last weekend as the men's lacrosse team hosted the Inaugural William L.
With the recent release of the Spring 2010 SOC (R.I.P. COD), it's about that time to start looking for potential easy As and professors that don't have negative numbers on RateMyProfessors.com.
On my way out, I have embraced acceptance. I struggled and fought to achieve the end I wished to see, without considering, that perhaps, the universe created a design better for everyone, including me.
The stock market affects many students here at the University directly and indirectly. Countless students will invest in the market in the near future - whether through purchasing stocks or by investing in mutual funds.
I have lost enough games of Monopoly to understand that the money doesn’t really matter. I may cringe when I land on my opponent’s hotel on Park Place but I do so out of fear of losing the game, not that my net worth is materially dropping. The game’s manufacturer, Parker Brothers, controls the supply of Monopoly money.
Good credit can enable you to buy a car or house; bad credit can prevent you from getting a job or renting an apartment.
When you walk into the Charlottesville-Albemarle Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, you are greeted by a world of woofs and meows.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, especially to the proud feminists out there, but one thing is undeniable: there will always be differences between the two sexes.

One of the things that tends to happen when you don't have fully functional brain cells is that you scrub your hair with harmful substances that have the potential to eat through your scalp - substances like body wash.
Having been (finally) mercifully released from my crutches a week or so ago, I am beginning to discover a few of the perks enjoyed by most college students - mainly, a relatively normal ambulation across Grounds.
Professor Chong, you have been teaching at the University since 2004. What brought you to Charlottesville? When Ed Ayers, whose degree is in American Studies from Harvard, was Dean of Arts & Sciences, he had a real commitment to interdisciplinary studies and oversaw a job search in American Studies ... I was one of these hires and I was placed in the English Department.
I have seen only two truly terrible movies in my life - "La Moustache" and "Twilight." The former, a French movie, is about some guy who wakes up one day to find his moustache gone.
I had heard of Charlottesville's culinary scene before I came to the University. I firmly believe that what makes a town, city or village civilized is not its population or income rate, but its food.
I am a bad Southern girl. Any of my friends can attest to the paradox of my existence: I am from Alabama yet lack a thick accent; I live in Tuscaloosa, the home of the Crimson Tide and a stadium with a seating capacity of 92,138 but I really do not particularly enjoy watching football; I watch the Food Network constantly but absolutely must turn the television off when Paula Deen fills the screen.
