Do not touch your face while you read this. Seriously. You're doing it now, aren't you? Well, congratulations. You're going to die of pig-bat flu and then coroners are going to find green sludge in your brain during your autopsy and everyone you have ever stared at is going to die too. Are you proud of yourself?
Being young - only in fourth grade - it was hard for me to understand the extent of the catastrophe that had occurred. Looking back now, 9/11 has forever changed my life. Because I lived just 20 minutes or so outside the city, my family knew many people who worked downtown and, more importantly, in the towers.
Journalists played an imperative role in informing the world about the attacks through their coverage, and the staff members of the Collegian in September 2001 were no different. They not only remember Sept. 11 as University of Richmond students, but also as journalists attempting to get information out to their peers and professors.
Ten years ago the idea of going to war for ROTC cadets may have been a nebulous one, said Lt. Col. Mark Thomson, chair of the military science and leadership department at the University of Richmond.
On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, Mike Clements, who graduated in 2004, was in his University of Richmond dorm room when the first plane hit the North Tower.
Ten years ago on Sept. 11, three Richmond staff members were in shock and disbelief over what was occurring in the nation. One was coming to work, one was leaving a meeting and one was in an office, yet all were unnerved.
I first heard about 9/11 when I met my mum outside my school. She told me what had happened and at that point everyone still thought it had been an accident. It is one of those events that you never forget where you were when you found out. Obviously as the afternoon went on, the truth became clear. I just remember how much the nation pulled together to support each other through such a terrible time. I visited Ground Zero when I was in the States and while an eerie atmosphere was present, more prevalent was the notion of pride in the nation and hope for the future.
It sometimes feels like once you've been to one Mexican restaurant, you've been to them all. But that's not how I feel about Plaza Azteca on Broad Street. With a fun atmosphere, good drinks and huge portions, Plaza Azteca falls just a notch above other Mexican restaurants, including everyone's freshman year favorite, Mexico's.
At the dawn of freshman orientation week, a resident in Marsh Hall was watching football with his roommate. "Every time a good play happened, we heard a bunch of people cheering," Michael Marino said. The two wondered if their hallmates were watching the same game, so they wandered down the hallway to a lounge that had been converted into a quad.
The ancient Greek gods could not be more proud of our Richmond seniors-- last Thursday, we somehow managed to pull off an exact reenactment of a toga party in 1450 B.C. I didn't retain much from high school history, but I'm pretty sure I remember that with every historic Greek affair came a gluten-free beer truck, Papa John's pizza and exactly four Porta Potties.
This may be the best espionage movie I've ever seen. Let me qualify that by stating that this is not a Bourne/Bond explosion and gadget extravaganza where nameless henchmen are mowed down by the dozens. Instead, "The Debt" may be how actual espionage works, slowly and below the radar with some not-so-clean getaways mixed in.
About 30 students per year visit the University of Richmond's Counseling and Psychological Services staff to seek treatment for anorexia or bulimia, according to Peter LeViness, director of CAPS.
When he learned to ice skate on Westhampton Lake as a child, Harold Wainwright Jr. said he had never dreamed he would become a father-figure to 170 Richmond College students every year.
As I woke up at 8 a.m. the morning after the senior toga social, I realize that I was the victim of a vicious sharpie attack (despite abiding by the golden rule of "not passing out with my shoes on"), and I couldn't help but smile. It's the little things like this that keep me going: the revelation that even after four years I find pranks amusing even when they are on me. Then there is the revelation that it has been four years, that this is my senior year. Reality sets in. It's 8 o'clock and I have class in an hour.
Hot, sticky weather did not keep University of Richmond students inside Friday night when White Panda came to campus.
When students walk into the Heilman Dining Center, they may not always notice the aged blue Marine uniform sitting in a glass case, or know the story behind the man whose name rests above the door.
Mezzanine 3433 gets its name from its address on Cary Street, a prime location for those looking to meander around the off-beat neighborhood before or after a good meal. Mezzanine had been on my list of places to eat before I graduate since I heard about their bloody mary bar at brunch. Conveniently located with an ever-changing menu of delicious dishes, Mezzanine proved to be a lovely dinner destination.
Every movie you've ever seen exists in its own universe. "Star Wars," "Steel Magnolias," "Pirates of the Caribbean" - they all created a world in which they could reasonably function.
Turn up your speakers to blare Mute Math's "Typical" and you'll get anything but that.
