It's that time of year again. The leaves are turning crimson and gold, the air retains a strong scent of burning leaves and all the soccer moms at Martin's have started wearing their finest black cat and googly-eyed spider sweaters. That can only mean one thing: Halloween weekend is upon us.
On Sept. 22, 2010, Rutgers University freshman Tyler Clementi, 18, of Ridgewood, N.J., jumped off of the George Washington Bridge after his college roommate broadcast live images of him online having sexual relations with another man.
My freshman-year roommates used to joke that I dressed like a middle-aged woman. I agree that I often looked like I had been raped by a Talbots kids magazine and frankly, it wasn't pretty.
I normally don't make bets.
Teresa Lewis, the first woman to be executed in Virginia since 1912, was put to death by lethal injection last Thursday.
With Parents Weekend quickly approaching I've got two things on my mind. One of which may or may not include hiring Merry Maids to come and salvage what's left of my apartment. "Mom, I swear it came this dirty!"
As the sun began to set on the University of Richmond, candles flickered against the shadows of dusty combat boots lined in rows across the Forum. The boots of soldiers were intermingled with the shoes of Afghani civilians who, like the fallen soldiers, have perished in the war in Afghanistan.
I think it's safe to say that you can't classify a person in just a few words. But I also think it's safe to say that there are definitely "types" of people.
They say 60 percent of married couples meet in college. But don't fret; if you don't meet someone in college, 50 percent of them are getting a divorce anyway. Oh well. Here goes nothin':
This September, a group of girls stood outside their dorm in a large cluster waiting for a ride to a party. A salt and pepper-haired older man in a big van pulled over to offer them a ride. "Where y'all headed?" he asked as the girls entered the van without care or worry. "The apartments, thanks Wayne!" one of the girls yelled as they all settled comfortably into the warm seats of the University of Richmond Safety Shuttle.
A few years ago, a friend of mine, who I'll call Steph for the sake of privacy, was fast asleep in her University of Richmond Forest Apartment. Steph and her boyfriend had fallen asleep while watching a movie together on her futon downstairs. It hadn't been long before Steph had fallen asleep when all of a sudden she began to feel a little ... tickle.
The sixth annual One Book, One Campus: Dialogues in Social Justice program will commence this September and will continue until March 2011. The One Book, One Campus program is a campus-wide initiative coordinated by the Office of the Chaplaincy that encourages students, faculty and staff to read and discuss a selected book on a social justice issue. The book chosen for this academic year is "Blood Done Sign My Name," by Timothy B. Tyson.
Picture this: You've overslept for your 8:15 a.m. class because you stayed up all night with your roommate who couldn't stop dry-heaving because she wanted to be a bumblebee for Halloween, but "that whore Stephanie" just HAD to go out and buy the costume that she wanted even though Stephanie KNOWS your roommate looks better in horizontal stripes.
Three years ago, Carole Weinstein offered nine million dollars to build, in partnership with President Edward Ayers and the University of Richmond, an international center. Today, the Carole Weinstein International Center is near completion, with construction scheduled to end this month. The International Center will house the Office of International Education (OIE) as well as Passport Cafe, the newest eating facility on campus. Along with the OIE and the cafe, multiple interdisciplinary academic departments and seven classrooms will be located within the International Center as well.
A few weeks ago I was riding the Metro home from my summer internship in downtown D.C. when the most terrifying thing happened to me. A man entered the doors directly to my right, dressed in all black with a book bag that looked uncomfortably heavy.
Imagine you are an alien from another galaxy. You've just landed on Earth, but not just anywhere on Earth.
I considered beginning this article by apologizing to the freshman and sophomore classes. I wanted to apologize for talking about a subject that they shouldn't have to worry about for another year or two. Or so I thought.
With today's beauty standard at an unforgiving, all-time high, people go to great lengths to modify their appearances.
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.
