Registration for spring semester 2010 is coming faster than I ever imagined, and making a schedule I can live with (that satisfies the remainder of my requirements) is causing my hair to fall out. Not really, but close enough, especially because I put off my foreign language requirement and have to take a class that is five days a week with two days having two classes. Word of advice: Take your foreign language requirement NOW if you need it.

Richmond is already the home of the only Spiders in the country. Now, it's also the home of the Flying Squirrels.

Now readers (especially you, ladies), before insults begin to fly from your innocent mouths, hear me out. I am by no means suggesting that I'm the definition of a nice guy or the nicest guy on campus (I mean, I live with three saints), but I will say I've had my moments, and I'm one of the few guys who has been on both sides of the fence. Therefore, my experiences are unlike others, and I have a new perception of the "nice guy" and the "jerk," along with the results they produce.

Professional referees rarely hear praise and constantly hear criticism. A good day for an official is a day in which he goes unnoticed. On a bad day, he may be the only thing people notice. But last weekend, the referees in one college football game reminded me why.

The United States had a wake-up call last week when it was announced in Copenhagen that Rio De Janeiro beat out Chicago for the Summer 2016 Olympic bid.

Multiple construction projects on campus have changed where people can park, causing a lot of angst for faculty, staff, students and, believe it or not, Parking Services members. I spoke with Natalia Green, director of Parking Services, and Bill Rawluk, the senior parking enforcement specialist (we call him Mr. Bill), to get an idea of exactly how construction has changed parking.

Time: How many of us have it? Many of us spend our whole lives procrastinating. We procrastinate doing our homework. We procrastinate writing our papers. We procrastinate when it comes to studying for tests. We procrastinate when it comes time to go to the gym and work out.

The very first paragraph of Mike Padovano's column, "An Obama progress report," reminded me of a simple but amusingly true statement: "Everyone is entitled to their opinion but yours is stupid."

Ladies and gentlemen, as usual, apartment 507 is bringing you an exclusive. This is the first in a semester-long series of translated conversations to help you figure out what a man means when you are having a hard time deciphering his words.

As much as Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig likes to say that there is parity in his sport, there is no such thing, at least not in this decade. You need look no further than the teams that will be competing in this year's playoffs to see that.

As baseball season comes to a close during a year when the pennant races have been about as dramatic as an 8:15 a.m. biology class, much discussion has turned toward the postseason awards. In the American League, the curse of the small-market team might keep two very deserving players out of the winner's circle.

You may have noticed that the coffee cup sleeves from 8:15 at Boatwright are not an ad for Starbucks, but have the faces of University of Richmond alumni who seem to be doing some awesome things with their post-Liberal-Arts lives. During the last three years, School of Arts and Sciences administrators have been buying coffee cup sleeves for 8:15 at Boatwright and putting on them photos and information about alumni and seniors who "turn their passion into their purpose."

To be trendy, my column this week is going to be the letter I would have written to myself had I gone to Proclamation Night when I was a first year, but with a little twist. I didn't miss Proclamation Night because I didn't want to go; rather, I didn't go because I didn't know about it. I transferred my sophomore year and because of a lack of communication, I missed it. To be honest, I felt a little left out on Sunday when I went as a senior and everyone was laughing at themselves and getting all teary while opening their letters. So, I'm going to join in on the fun. This is going to be more of a what-I-would-tell-my-past-self, because I have no idea what I would have written when I first got here.

Trash talking in sports. Without question, pre-game smack talk provides some of the more entertaining storylines and water cooler conversations across the sporting world.

Here's a question that will probably be on students' minds as next weekend approaches: What on earth am I going to do to occupy my parents if there is no Richmond football game?

During my various experiences with financial aid, I have figured out a few things that I think everyone should know in order to get the most out of all the aid the University of Richmond gives. I got some of my information from Cindy Deffenbaugh, director of student financial aid.

I was at Giants Stadium last Sunday watching the team's home opener against its division rival, the Washington Redskins, when I got the idea for this week's column.

College is filled with all types of relationships, spanning from acquaintances to engagements. In developing a sense of self, students search for others with whom they can relate well.

What do Hanley Ramirez, B.J. Upton and Troy Tulowitzki have in common?

There is a growing trend that is threatening to take over the entire world. Actually ... there are a lot of them ... but this one is getting scarier every year.
