"Why doesn't that girl wear shoes?" I wish I could say that it was a campaign to raise money and awareness for impoverished, shoeless children, but as noble as this may sound it is far from the truth. If you stopped to ask me this question, I may have mentioned feeling more connected to nature or claimed that I found shoes to be an inconvenience after a year abroad in the Turks and Caicos Islands and New Zealand.

When I was traipsing around Scotland during my semester abroad, I noticed that the plastic bags at Tesco, the mainstream supermarket, were streaked with the slogan: "Every little helps." For the life of me, I could not figure out what the missing noun was.

The Libyan revolution came to an unexpected climax this past week when news broke that the deposed dictator, Muammar Gadhafi, had been slain at the hands of the rebel forces. Checkmate.

Sorry to anyone who thought I was creepy on Tuesday night while walking across campus in the dark with an enormous smile spanning the dimensions of my face.

It seems that not all of my assumptions about growing up are true. Part of the reason I was particularly excited to turn 21 and move away from the lodge culture was simply that I could start investing in nicer going-out clothes.

Ever since my roommate burned a copy of a Dispatch CD for me, roadtrips have turned into private, alternative rock concerts that rattle my rearview mirror in its frame.

The infamous "work hard, play harder" lifestyle here at Richmond is not an easy one to keep up with. It's easy to get sucked into going out during the week because all of your friends are, but where does that leave your workload? While it is important to let yourself have fun, too much of it can throw you off balance; and the same goes for working too much.

On the evening of Sept. 15, I, along with another member of Spiders for Life, put up flyers in the women's bathrooms in Boatwright Library, Jepson and the International Center. By noon on the 16th, our flyers had been removed from all the library bathrooms.

So last Saturday I was kind of in one of those moods where you just wanna be a sloth all day, lie in bed, not respond to your texts and listen to sad music about how men will break your heart over and over and over again.

The slow-motion suicide of Pakistan in the decade since 9/11 is a story that has seemed to lay at a low boil for most Americans, only to periodically rocket (if you'll pardon the expression) into our headlines with spectacular Today Show-friendly events: The video-taped beheading of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in 2002, the return and murder of Benazir Bhutto in 2007 and finally, the Navy SEALs' dispatch of Osama bin Laden in the Pakistani military cantonment of Abbottabad earlier this year.

I have found myself becoming increasingly sucked into the environmentalist movement since coming to the University of Richmond.

The Occupy Wall Street protests are something that should concern even the most politically withdrawn members of the University of Richmond. At the root of these protests is a criticism of a common result of any free market society: the accumulation of wealth.

I have this vision of myself this time next year. I am bumming around in the darkness of my parents' basement wallowing in my inability to latch onto some noble, writerly pursuit.

So, I know that I recently wrote an article about how I am no longer the lodge star that I once was, but even I, retired lodger, would like the chance to revisit my old sophomore/junior roots every once in a while just to make sure that nothing has changed.

This past weekend, I was at the 7th UR African Film Weekend hosted in the Ukrop Auditorium of the Robins School of Business. Despite my attendance being prompted largely by the promise of extra credit from a professor, I am happy I went.

"Water, water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink."

The food we eat is one of the most important factors in living a balanced lifestyle. Food gives our bodies the fuel they need to get us through our demanding days.

When I was studying abroad in Scotland last fall, my phone was used only for emergencies and quick calls. But my laptop was my lifeline.

Troy Davis, who was convicted of killing a police officer in Savannah, Ga., 22 years ago, was executed on Sept. 21. Troy's conviction was not based on any physical evidence - no murder weapon was found -- according to an article from The Guardian.

At first, when I read Jon Henry's "Letter to Men," I thought nothing of the apparent transition of themes from that letter to Rhatican's letter. I began to wonder why I would automatically assume that Henry's view of being gay had anything to do with Rhatican's view of women and dress.
