Senior Megan Venable sat at her kitchen table framed by rope lights hung around the walls, excited to talk about a set of wooden bins located next to the 1900 block of the University Forest Apartments.
So the weather gets better. The birds chirp, the bees buzz, the pants start coming down and the the shorts keep rising. Spring is in the air. There is not only the change in weather, but the change in demeanor of everyone and everything.
Hurricane Katrina. It seems like forever ago that I remember seeing the news about the devastation of New Orleans, watching the news and seeing people getting rescued from the roofs of their houses and seeing almost the entire city filled with water.
The saying, "out with the old and in with the new," seems pertinent to a lot of things happening on campus this spring. Seemingly a negative connotation, "out with the old" is, in fact, a positive attribution. For instance, if the snow that infested every corner of campus this winter hadn't gone away by now, I would probably be cracked out in my shoebox-sized room right now, eating Slim Jims all day, instead of going outside and enjoying the beautiful sunshine.
When University of Richmond students arrived at the medical clinic on their first day in Pampa Grande, Peru, there were at least 20 Peruvians waiting by the door. Some people were from the village, but others had walked a great distance from the countryside simply to have a few minutes with a doctor.
In high school, the shrill sound of the school bell signaled the start of spring break - a break from work, friends, on-again off-again romances, teachers and those stress tests called midterms.

The cheapest spring break package this year isn't a group trip to Cancun, Mexico; Daytona Beach, Fla.; or even Virginia Beach, Va. It's to the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans as a part of the University of Richmond's Collegiate Disaster Relief Team (CDRT).

The offense beat the defense 45-38.
About 60 University of Richmond students spent their spring breaks being welcomed to Eastern European countries with applause and standing ovations.
I've finally been outted by an online comment (don't we just love www.thecollegianur.com?) - I'm not really from Compton. My name just "grants me access to a pun," and to be honest, I didn't actually know who N.W.A. was. But whatever, we'll just call it irony that I actually come from the Midwest. I mean, St. Louis (my real hometown) is up there in standing, as far as rap music goes (until he semi-fell off the face of the earth, who didn't love Nelly? And J-Kwon and Chingy were clearly so legit). But I digress.
People take themselves too seriously sometimes. Everything's so important, so crucial, so consequential.
One University of Richmond professor will give a lecture about what he or she would want to tell his or her students if it were his or her last lecture.
MELBOURNE, Australia -- Because of my weekly travels and studious nature, I have been a bit behind reporting my adventurous activities abroad. I have failed to skip (or finish) my action-packed spring break with the Extreme Adventures One Fish, Two Fish trip. I could write pages of my nine-day adventure traveling the western coast of Oz and had every intention of reporting all of my quirky encounters and detailed experiences, but I just realized that my spring-break journal is nearly seven pages single-spaced and could just about be considered a short story. I shall try to keep it to a minimum and will accept questions after.
MELBOURNE, Australia -- With the $2.00 of remaining balance I have on my Global Gossip internet card, all I can say is that my Extreme Adventure spring break has been just that, extreme. The rainforest walk this afternoon is the last of the organized tours on my One Fish, Two Fish trip, but I have made more memories in these past nine days, then I thought I would. In three days alone, I went white water rafting on the Tully River, jumped out of a plane at 14,000 feet, bungee jumped at 50 m and scuba dived in the Great Barrier Reef. I also bronzed at one of the top three beaches in the world and sailed the Atlantic in a multi-million dollar boat. Oh gosh, I have less than 5 minutes of credit remaining, but more to come when I get home in 2 days, pictures and all!
For the second consecutive year, Rick Mayes, associate professor of public policy, is taking students to Peru during Spring Break.
If you're looking for a last minute spring break destination that's a drive away and more affordable than a week on a tropical beach, Charleston, S.C., might be the place to stay.
