The times aren't necessarily a-changin'

By Bailee Barfield | July 14, 2008

Recently, the University's Alumni Association hosted its annual Reunions Weekend: the ultimate chance for more than 4,000 devoted alumni to relive memories, catch up with old friends and tease their nostalgic whims by seeing how much things have really "changed" since their time as students. With the advent of computer technology, multifaceted diversity and architectural expansion, it seems that our predecessors would recognize hardly anything but Jefferson's own Rotunda.

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.

Reaching new heights

By Lyssa Cleary | April 21, 2008

What's on your University "bucket list?" Securing a job, winning the Gusburger challenge and streaking the Lawn are only a few of the lofty goals some students at the University hope to accomplish before they graduate.

End of the line

By Brendan Collins | April 21, 2008

The funny thing about college newspaper writers is that we are unceremoniously fired after four years of dedicated service, no matter how magnificent the prose, no matter how hard-hitting the journalistic prowess.
