Here are the responses to last week's questions, provided to The Cavalier Daily by various University students.
The other week, one of my roommates and I had a fantastically Zoolanderesque exchange over a trip to the Treehouse. "You are coming to the Treehouse." "That is not true!" "Yes it is, Eric!" "Okay." Throw in some mindless nodding on my part and bam, "Zoolander." After we had a good chuckle, I got to thinking about my favorite "quotables": those movies or TV shows that you can't help but recite line-for-line like a complete idiot.
At this point in our lives, I bet all of us have been in love at least once. Granted, it may have been with Dylan McKay or Kelly Kapowski, but nonetheless, we've felt the joy of love and, unfortunately, the pain of lost loves. I remember my first breakup.
Friday the University's amphitheater was full of bubbles, paint and clean mud ... all in the name of education.
Ohio-raised, Pennsylvania-born, I have no right to go around asking where "y'all" are going, or how've "y'all" been.

The dimly lit artistic Gravity Lounge provided the perfect ambiance for the unveiling of a milestone.

Nursing Students Without Borders: NSWB. Although this name may not ring a bell with many students at the University, this relatively small group of about 15 to 20 active student members has been making large changes in remote areas half a world away from the safe environment surrounding the University community since 1999. The group was originally established here at the University by two Nursing students and has now expanded to chapters at Purdue, Virginia Commonwealth University and other universities.
I don't think I know one person who doesn't own a pair of jeans. I'm not sure what I'd wear if I didn't have any.
Textbooks, notebooks, paper and pens, a wallet and a cell phone, not to mention a bunch of other items -- University students carry around all of these on any given day.
I love "Law and Order" because it is, by far, the sexiest show on TV. The spin-off series, all 2,000 of them, try hard but fail to elicit as much teenage girl thrill as I get from the original.
With elegant vases overflowing with vibrantly colored tulips on each elaborately set table, hundreds from around the Charlottesville community gathered yesterday afternoon to honor a long-time public heroine with the presentation of two awards that celebrate women's leadership. The Emily Couric Leadership Forum, an annual event to honor the late state senator and sister of University alumna and NBC's Today show host Katie Couric, was held at the Omni Hotel on Main Street yesterday.
Most of us probably only remember the Marquis de Lafayette vaguely, in a sort of fifth-grade, social-studies, vocabulary-test kind of way.
Toward the end of the semester, students are finding it increasingly difficult to concentrate because of the warmth of the spring weather -- the consequences of which include the abandonment of unshapely winter clothes.
In Hindi, "Awaaz" means "voice" -- a voice that third-year College student Shalin Sood, founder of the a capella group Awaaz, thought was missing from the University.
T he Gauntlet -- (n.) A short strip of land between Cocke Hall and mid-Lawn, under the constant vigil of one Homer Statue.
