Wahoo week in review
Course registration – that’s all
From the opening b-ball game ending in a palate-cleansing win as another disappointing football season comes to a close, to inspiring moves by alums and current students, here’s what you missed while you were sleeping off your hangover.
Library printers back up after two weeks – Alderman gives free printing for .05 seconds.
I worry if I walk into the library to try and take advantage of it the whole printer system will give me the finger and go drink brandy in a faculty lounge.
BASKETBALL
We spanked Morgan State by a casual 50 points (well, nearly 50).
This photo sums up the game pretty well
According to the butt-drunk alums sitting next to us, we should all be REALLY excited about Jack Salt. According to my eyeballs, we should still be REALLY excited about Jack Salt.
We also got some new recruits, who are PSYCHED to be Wahoos. As they should be.
In other news, our football team lost again, making us bowl ineligible. That’s okay. I don’t like winning anyway.
Netflix goin’ down on a Tuesday
10 minutes into Netflix and Chill and she gives you this look
Some of us tried to snuggle up for a relaxing Tuesday binge session with a bottle of wine and our favorite companion (pizza) only to find Netflix was standing us up. That’s cold, Netflix. Luckily Amazon Prime was there to pick up the pieces.
A Cavalier appeared on Shark Tank
Are we proud that an alum went on the show to show you can un-shrink your shrunken sweaters? That is debatable.
But it happened.
She walked away with $150,000 with a $1m value. Thanks, Mark Cuban.
Course registration – ’nuff said
Hopefully this actually happened. You never really know what the results are gonna be. I keep having nightmares about accidentally selecting 8 AMs. Or maths.
Alumni Hall offered a Taste of Charlottesville
#foodIcannotafford #whichisallfood #howamIstillfat
Taste of Charlottesville filled Alumni Hall with free food while most of us (i.e. me) were stuck in class. Sigh.
Students stood in solidarity with Mizzou
NAACP at UVA staged a well-attended blackout in light of recent events at Mizzou, Yale, and other universities around the country.
Dunkin’ threw some shade
Dunkin Donuts rolled out Christmas themed cups in response to Starbucks’ red cup scandal, which doesn’t seem to have had any effect on the length of the line at Nau Starbucks.
Until Dunkin can replicate the Pumpkin Spice latte, they’re going to have trouble competing. Besides, who uses disposable cups anymore? #sustainability
Phi Psi is suing Rolling Stone for $25 mil
That’s $17 million more than Kim Kardashian’s engagement ring. Do they deserve it? I think they do.
In the immortal words of Ed Helms: “It has been said that a rolling stone gathers no moss. I would add that sometimes a rolling stone also gathers no verifiable facts or even the tiniest morsels of journalistic integrity.”
We were offered the chance to nap not on a bench
This survey went out.
Is this even a question? Read me a bedtime story, StudCo
On a somber note, unidentified students kept a candlelight memorial in the amphitheater for the lives lost in Paris and elsewhere bright through the evening.
T-Sully sent out an email letting us know that all UVA study abroad students and affiliates are unharmed, and, as always, CAPS is available.
There are times when we put aside our own Orange and Blue to honor others, and this week many Wahoos are choosing to sport blue, white and red.
