It is certainly an odd situation to be in when your pen can destroy worlds, and it is a situation that our president finds himself in at this very moment.

University of Richmond students are successful in many ways: We're motivated, hard working, involved, dedicated and fun loving.

Dear fellow students,
There's a reason economists from all angles are encouraging Congress to adopt President Obama's jobs proposal announced Thursday and outlined on our campus Friday: its sound economic policy.

I don't function well without my iPod. I live parts of my days by playlists - alternative while I walk, symphonic while I write, trippy while I space out and rap while I run. Music affects my emotions to make me mellow, perky or adrenaline-rushed, and listening is a habit I hate to do without.
Dear Men,

Dear Brendan,
