Make one more trip back to the store

By Bailee Barfield | August 23, 2008

First-years: Let me begin by commending your bravery. You have recently endured a difficult few days of saying goodbye to your friends and families back home, packing away your entire lives and arriving to a foreign place only to realize you don?t have air conditioning (unless you live in Kellogg, Woody or Cauthen, and if so, get prepared to hear a lot of your new friends whine).It is likely you brought a formidable array of belongings with you to Charlottesville.

By Austin Wiles | August 23, 2008

What?s up, first-years. I?m the columnist who each week tackles the hard-hitting issues, such as which sorority T-shirt designs are, like, the most award-worthy, how to walk across campus without inspiring anyone to maim you, and which bathrooms around Grounds are the best to pee in.

The times aren't necessarily a-changin'

By Bailee Barfield | July 14, 2008

I am a terrible college student

By Bailee Barfield | April 25, 2008

I should clarify. My grades are fine, I am responsible with alcohol and I maximize my undergraduate experience every day (after all, I did just go to the last Second Year Series Dinner). I keep things in perspective and develop healthy attachments ... with the sole exception of Gmail and Alderman Café. My area of fault lies not in the gauge of my character or my intellectual tenacity, but that I, like many women before me, am a terrible packer.

Horsing Around at Colonial Downs

By Lindsey Wagner | April 23, 2008

With the Foxfield Races right around the corner, University students tend to catch some form of horse racing fever this time of year, whether it be marveling at the athleticism of the horses or simply shooting a passing glance at the blur of movement on the other side of the cooler.

Long live the Waterloo!

By Bailey Stephens | April 23, 2008

It rains every day in London. The locals hate Americans. The food is terrible. The city is so expensive. When I decided to study abroad in London, I didn't know what to expect.

Last will and testament

By Erik Silk | April 22, 2008

It's a bleak Sunday morning in Charlottesville, and I, Erik A. Silk, am a bit scared. Yeah. I'm not so much scared of not having a future, whether or not I should be.

A conversation on curriculum internationalization

By Lindsey Wagner | April 22, 2008

It's quite a mouthful, but it's been on the lips of students and faculty since last semester. Curriculum internationalization catapulted into student discussions on Grounds with Student Council's creation of the Committee on Curriculum Internationalization.
