When I was a freshman, contraception was a joke. The pail of complimentary condoms outside each resident adviser's door led to laughter - but was always empty - and free condom stickers cheerfully adorned bulletin boards and mini-fridge doors.
Study abroad is not a vacation. You're not going to be staying in a luxurious hotel, you're not going to be eating at five-star restaurants and you're not going home in a few days. You're living in a different country, immersing in a different culture and (for me at least) speaking a different language. Plus, you're American, which in many countries makes you even more conspicuous. It is not easy.
Readers, if you're anything like me and you've spent part, much or the entirety of your college journey hooking up with people hoping that maybe, just maybe, one of these frat stars will be the one who acts like a decent human being and texts you the next morning to ask you to coffee sometime, followed by an invitation to a casual lunch, which is then logically followed by dinner and then, eventually, couples cooking, homeworking and holding hands on your way to the mail room, let me tell you, there is hope.
Two years ago last week, Haitians were suffering and dying after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake ravaged their country while I and other sorority girls of the University of Richmond prepared to prep and welcome new recruits. All I could think was: "WHAT ARE WE DOING? PEOPLE ARE DYING!" and "Where did I put those red shoes and the silver picture frame?"
The side of my face is smushed against the carpet in a room in the Tyler Haynes Commons. A group of my girlfriends is sprawled around me, and we are all in rest-mode after an endless day of classes, homework and sorority rush. We are killing time before a meeting and the sounds from a YouTube segment bubble out of my friend's laptop.
A lot of things have been said about Southern politics, and very few of them are nice. Last week the Virginia General Assembly flooded into Richmond, marking the beginning of the 2012 session. The bitterness and bickering began on the first day.
Dear Editor,
First of all, nice scoop and reporting by The Collegian and reporter Markie Martin on the article entitled "Jepson leader involved in Tillman case."
"It has to be one or the other: either admit that the present social arrangement is just and then defend your own rights, or admit that you enjoy certain unjust advantages, as I do, and enjoy them with pleasure," Oblonsky says to his half-brother Levin in Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina."
On Oct. 20, the Muslim Law Students Association hosted Azizah Al-Hibri, a Richmond law professor, and Randolph Marshall Bell, ambassador and president of the First Freedom Center, in a town hall event with the express purpose to clear misinformation about Shar'iah and its practice in the U.S.
It's that time of year again. The holidays are around the corner, work has started to pile up just enough to ensure that you have a perpetual knot in your stomach and every single thing is starting to get on your nerves.
This is indeed a disappointing piece of journalism in which Ms. Kuta (Response to: Five Shariah insights for students at UR-Nov. 5) is spreading hate and misinformation about Islam because of her apparent bias toward this religion.
How annoying is it when someone tells you that you look tired? Instead of reading that comment as an insult, use it as a reminder of the harmful effects produced by lack of sleep.
Students, faculty and staff of the university, we, the membership of N.E.L., believe that leaders and stewards of what is good deserve to be recognized. We hope that these recognitions not only highlight the good of the present, but inspire good for the future. In calling attention to particular people and organizations, it is our belief that others will find motivation to work toward a similar good.
Herman Cain is in a tough spot. Carried this far largely on rhetoric and a touted background in the private sector, the Cain campaign machine seems to be running low on fuel.
A selection of The Collegian's editors attended a brief performance by the Theatre for Social Change group on campus. Consisting of ten students from various fields of study, the group acted out a classroom scenario. The scene focused on one class' inability to shed stereotyped groupings including, gender, sexuality, race and Greek life, with a professor who was blind to that inability.
During the pre-dawn hours of daylight saving time, the sidewalks of Charleston, S.C., were pulsing with the flurry of discombobulated people who had spent their extra hour out at the bars. My friend, Harry, swung me onto a side street en route to my brother's house. We dipped through an opening in the trees and walked across a parking lot toward a small, obscure building.
Anna Kuta's "Response to: Five Shariah insights for students at UR,"posted Nov. 5, 2011, is a misleading and inflammatory description of Islamic law. As an Ahmadi Muslim, I take strong exception to the author's baseless claims that Islam requires us to impose its belief system using violent tactics against non-Muslims. To contextualize the actual verses she quoted, it should be known that Muslims were a persecuted minority in Arabia during Prophet Muhammad's era and faced a constant threat of annihilation.
Anna Kuta's Shariah Law Op Ed on The Collegian website illustrates the exuberance of her deliberate ignorance and incoherent argumentation. Few, if any, of her assertions are found in legitimate peer-reviewed journals. As I do not have space to fully address Kuta's dozen or more baseless allegations, this piece repudiates just two of her most deceptive assertions to illustrate her fundamentally flawed platform.
In light of the recent dialogue in the online edition of The Collegian, the Multi-faith Student Council would like to take the opportunity to introduce ourselves to the campus community. We are a recently formed group of students who strive to engage in respectful and meaningful conversations with the purpose of building relationships and learning from each other about our faiths.
