OK, so this topic is very near and dear to my heart. Every time I think about it, I just can't help getting a bit fired up ... about Boatwright bathrooms.
Our campus is absolutely phenomenal in every possible way. The grass is always neatly cut and maintained, flowers droop off of trees and bushes to the end of every perfectly constructed winding path and students are always exquisitely outfitted and flawlessly put-together.
CARDIO - GET PHYSICAL! Aerobic exercise or "Cardio," as it's commonly referred to, is when the body engages in physical activity and the heart rate is elevated. Cardio is a core requirement for any workout plan that focuses on good health, weight loss or the achievement of special fitness goals. If you're wondering what the hype is about cardio workouts, you must be educated on this form of exercise. Cardio is important for so many reasons, the top reasons being that it: * Helps to keep the heart strong * Raises metabolism and promotes calorie burn and weight loss * Increases lung capacity (important for endurance) * Reduces stress and releases endorphins to make you feel good! Let's break things down.
On Sunday, wearing my graduation robe along with the rest of the University of Richmond senior women, going through Proclamation Night for the second time, was a bit surreal. Surreal, because three short years ago we were all wearing white sundresses and writing letters starting with "Dear future self..." For me, and I'm sure for many others, it was surreal for a different reason: Because at my first Proclamation Night, my college experience wasn't what I thought it would be. I hadn't swiftly formed life-long bonds, as my best friends from home and the other girls in my dorm seemed to have done.
In June of 2008, President Emeritus of Middlebury College John McCardell launched the Amethyst Initiative at the Annapolis Group, an organization of 120 liberal arts colleges.
Dear Collegian, I am writing to clarify and add to the discussion being had between Chris Repas and Vice President for Enrollment Management Nanci Tessier. Anyone who has spent time on campus knows that Richmond has the facilities and rigor to back up the talk of it as a top-tier liberal arts college.
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. For my second and final Wellness class at the University of Richmond (thank God) I am taking a course on relationships.
I didn't sleep well last Thursday. I had one of those "half-asleep" nights in which you wake up and make the mistake of looking at your cell phone for the 10th time.
You'd think that working out is working out, plain and simple ‐ whether it be running on the treadmill at home, trying to drop your recently acquired college pounds or fooling yourself into thinking that you can keep them off at the lovely Richmond gym ‐ and you'd think that all workouts are created equal.
Despite our intensive experience in the art of human interaction by the age of 18 years, a lot takes place in our subconscious during our interactions with others that completely evades the detection of our self-awareness radars.
Imagine that a certain someone (me) walks up to the doors of Gottwald on a weekend. This person (me), being a bio major, expects to be able to get into an academic building after hours.
Once upon a time, there was a mystical, magical land where beer grew on trees, boys only wore pants and bowties that looked like the Easter bunny threw up on them and textbooks, cigarettes, microwaveable burritos, alcoholic beverages and other pleasantries could be purchased with special currency that magically refilled itself each semester (or with one desperate call to Mom). This special land was where young idiots from New Jersey (like myself) would go to endure rigorous training to become successful accountants, surgeons, journalists and other boring professions that we swore in third grade we would never succumb to.
During the past few days, The Collegian staff has heard many rumors, stories and questions about some violent and disturbing incidents that occurred on campus last weekend.
Dear Natasha, I appreciate your need to "speak out" against Kristy Burkhardt's Collegian article ("The Dos and Don'ts of Freshman Year"). I also appreciate the fact that you had the courage to publicize what many of your classmates were undoubtedly thinking, however wrong you all were. Nonetheless, I feel it necessary to address your harsh words because frankly, I find them unfounded and disrespectful, not only as a senior, but also as a Richmond student. I am not writing to "rip" on you personally, as you so rudely did to Kristy.
Instructor: Any fitness professional available to you. Course meetings: Consistently and persistently. For a truly customized workout regimen, create your own major!
When I received my writing assignment for The Collegian last week, I glanced at it and saw something about art and some place called UR Downtown. I closed the e-mail and went back to frantically working on the layout for that week's Collegian (since we Collegian staffers get to spend our Wednesday nights holed up in the Collegian office cracked out on coffee, too much chocolate and excessive song-and-dance routines to Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream"). It was already 1 a.m., so I figured out of sight, out of mind. When I went back the next day to actually read the assignment, what I read interested me.
My father grew up on a dairy farm in Ireland, and the intelligence of farm animals has long been a hot topic for him.
Dear Editor, I would like readers to please read past the title of Kaileigh Connolly's piece "Apartment residents mixed on composting." The story is well-written and I appreciate the positive coverage, but I don't think the title accurately describes the content of the piece.
Dear Collegian, I am writing in response to Chris Repas' piece in which he expresses concern regarding changing SAT scores at the University of Richmond. Admission to the University of Richmond is highly selective.
An unspoken and unavoidable condition plagues the American public. Regrettably, the Richmond campus is no exception.
