Falling out of love with fall

Because I refuse to give Comcast any more business than it deserves — which is negative 800 billion customers, in case you were wondering — and because “Arrested Development” and “Breaking Bad” are on Netflix, I do not watch television at school.


Life

The art of texting

I will be the first to say it — I am addicted to my phone. When I leave it in another room, I always make sure the audio is up loud so I know if someone wants to talk.


Life

Presence and absence

Being abroad — away from my home, friends, family and school — for more than two months has given me some new ideas about the meaning of presence.

Ask Edgar

Dear Edgar, Since Halloween is on a Wednesday this year, I imagine I’ll have to have four different outfits for each night I go out.

Charlottesville caught in war between states

The Civil War may not have been fought on the University’s doorstep, but the war did impact University students and Charlottesville, most notably with the community’s contributions to the rehabilitation of wounded soldiers. Several factories in and around Charlottesville supplied uniforms and artificial limbs to soldiers.

Christmas in October

I’ll begin with an important announcement. Christmas is only 68 days away. You’re probably thinking, “Doesn’t she mean Halloween is only two weeks away?” Nope!

Take a deep breath

Last Thursday, while waitressing, I started to feel ill. My manager told me that I looked terrible, which would have been offensive if it weren’t true.

Farming the market

Students flock to the Charlottesville City Market each weekend for the numerous stands selling locally made products and the atmosphere only farmers’ markets provide.

Five people you meet in lecture

The lecture hall. The universal symbol of collegiate education — a motif almost as prevalent as the red solo cup, the universal symbol of “screw you, Mom.” Yes, midway through the semester I have presumed it time to discuss that pesky, bloodsucking parasite on the backside of the unceasing party that is college: learning. I use the term loosely, of course.

Internet problem solving

I’m sure we’ve all been there. Something random breaks, a friend asks you what you should be for Halloween, you’ve bought something that looked really great on the mannequin, and now you have absolutely nothing to wear it for.


Life

My seven-year-old brain

I came home for break, exam-weary and craving home-cooked food, desiring nothing more than to lie on my back while drooling in the general direction of the TV.

Ask Edgar

Dear Mr. Poe, I was flipping through my planner yesterday and realized I have two midterms and a paper due in one day and two papers due the very next day!

In this episode of On Record, Allison McVey, University Judiciary Committee Chair and fourth-year College student, discusses the Committee’s 70th anniversary, an unusually heavy caseload this past Fall semester and the responsibilities that come with student-led adjudication. From navigating serious health and safety cases to training new members and launching a new endowment, McVey explains how the UJC continues to adapt while remaining grounded in the University's core values of respect, safety and freedom.
