Zing!

I offend people. Sometimes I intend it, other times I don't, but either way lots of people are offended by my existence.

Bad eye for the pinkeye guy

So, this has been a pretty rough semester. I mean, I've been pretty busy at many times in my life, and that's frequently impacted my mental stability and physical well-being in a variety of ways.

Lending a nursing hand

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.

Jean-esteem

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.

Totin' or packin'?

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 me some B&J

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.

Profiles in Leadership

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.

I'm too sexy for my legs...

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.

A 'band of brothers'

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.

Each week, the Cavalier Daily asks a student 25 questions and allows him or her to eliminate five of them.

I love you like a fat kid loves cake

Have you ever been asked the question: "If you were stranded on a deserted island and you could bring an unlimited supply of only one type of food, what would it be?" The experts say it should be avocados because those suckers have a lot of vitamins and moisture and stuff like that.

Continuing the conversation

Sunday afternoon, suitcases and backpacks lay strewn about the area surrounding the Amphitheater while students milled about, eating lunch and chatting with one another.

Loud robes

With the influx of a capella spring concerts, each group with its own unique features, some students may be wondering about one group's idiosyncrasy in particular -- the Hullabahoos' multicolored, multi-patterned robes. When the Hullabahoos were formed in 1988, the only other male a capella group on Grounds was the Virginia Gentlemen.

Sleepless in Charlottesville

For as long as I can remember, I have never beenwhat you would call an "easy sleeper." Now, before you start to laud me for my sensitivity in caring so much for the fate of the world that I cannot rest my pretty head at night, let me assure you this is not the case.
