Close to home

I wouldn't be surprised if most of the people that I've met during my four years here think that I'm from Philadelphia.

Get off the wheel

It never crossed my mind that my apartment's hamster and I might have much in common until now. Our precious Rafi, whose formal name is "Rafiki," is a little part of Charlottesville that we Northern Virginians gladly tote home each and every break with us.

Snack time

Recently, I have come to terms with one thing: My teammates and I love food. Usually I chalk this up to playing an intense sport, one that involves a lot of banging into each other as hard as we possibly can for two to three hours a day, running until we feel light headed (then continuing to run) and shooting the same shot until our arms feel like rubber.

Is it right to feel good?

I was looking for my old journal today. No, it's not leather-bound or dog-eared. It does not have tear-stained pages or exclamation points cheering on my daily achievements.

Living loud

You know those graphic T-shirts that used to be popular, the ones saying things such as "sweet girl", or "brat?" Well, I have a confession to make: If I was the type of person inclined to wear stupid articles of clothing declaring facets of my personality, I would have to get the one that said "a little bit dramatic." This has been true ever since birth.

But what

First of all, I want to address the fact that I know my love and dating column is running on Valentine's Day for the first time in the three years that I've been writing it, but I also know that, for the first time, I want to write about something other than Valentine's Day.
