Late night one- eyed bacon cheeseburgers at the UD, served by the beloved Ethel, polished off with a grillswith…yes, that Paula Dean approved dessert comprised of two smashed, fried glazed donuts topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I credit such delicacies with taking the edge OFF and putting the weight ON….the freshman ten…I mean the first - year twenty.
Because I was an RA I lived in the dorms my first three years. But by far the best place I lived was right here. (Did I mention I lived on the Lawn?) Of course I would have to do the walk of shame to the bathroom and pass eveyone headed to class wearing my pink, terry cloth bathrobe and clogs carrying my yellow plastic bucket filled with toiletries, my wet hair turning into icicles in the winter. Is that the Paparazzi? But that small,cozy room and especially the fireplace more than made up for it. And this 19th century version of a man cave made me feel like a twentieth century woman. The ultimate buzz kill must have been getting a room on the Lawn this year and finding out you couldn’t use the fireplace! What a bummer! But at least this year’s RA on the Lawn, Reedy Swanson, told me…it was a mild winter.
History and tradition run deep here, and so does a legacy of excellence.
In the nearly two centuries since it was established in 1819, the University has produced a President, 12 U.S. Senators….5 Olympic medalists…the first African American Chief Justice of the Virginia Supreme Court….and Tina Fey, who was ALMOST vice president until that crushing Amy Poehler interview.
A UVA degree has paved the way for leaders in government, business, media, science, medicine, education, law, and public service. Thomas Jefferson, the ultimate Renaissance man would be proud. After all, he was a politician, a writer, a diplomat, a scientist, a farmer, an architect, an inventor…and an oenophile, which of course is a lover or connoisseur of wine.
