the sun Tips to plan your perfect summer trip
I
by Piper Gustafson
t’s that time of year. Spring Break is over, summer is looming, and the warm weather makes you want to get in your car with your friends and just drive. Regardless of whether or not you already have plans for the summer, vacation is probably on your mind.Unfortunately, vacation plans are always weighed down by ideas of budget, travel, and destination. How can you avoid breaking the bank? How are you going to get there? Where are you even going? Vacation should never be stressful. Vacation should be a word you write on your calendar and begin the countdown. And this article is chock-full of ways to de-stress your travel plans so that you won’t need a vacation from your vacation.
1
destination decisions, decisions So where do you want to go? To make the choice simpler, narrow down the options with some important decisions. How far away do you want to travel? Do you want to be able to get there without flying? Are you okay with roadtrips and will you have fellow travelers to split the gas bill with you? Is there a way to get there by train? Is your search criteria basic, like “somewhere sunny and warm,” or more specific, like “a place with lots of biking trails”? The best way to start is to Google your options and open your mind to criteria you might not normally consider. For example, Burlington, Vermont has a year-round Farmers’ Market and tons of hiking in the surrounding area to enjoy your recently-purchased picnic. On a similar track, Asheville, North Carolina has the nation’s largest number of food co-ops as well as hiking outside of town and the River Arts District in town. Try to break yourself out of the must-get-to-beach mindset.

travel the best way to get there
So how do you pick your travel method? If you’re going from Virginia to California and have no interest in sightseeing along the way, the answer is pretty obvious. However, if the answer is a little more ambiguous, check costtodrive. com, a website that lets you compare the cost of flying to cost of driving for any U.S. location—you even get to enter the make and model of your car! If you choose to travel by air, there are a few tricks to make your life easier. First, book in advance! The prices will be much cheaper. Second, try to fly on a quieter day (Tuesday, Wednesday, or Saturday). Flying early in the morning especially will cut the risk of flight delays compounding on one another throughout the day. Third, try to pack everything in a carry-on; not only will this save you money, it will negate the dreaded “lost luggage” situation. If you’re traveling with a friend, don’t be afraid to ask to put a few things in his or her bag if you just can’t fit them all into your own carry-on. Lastly, connecting flights are almost always cheaper. Though they increase the risk of connecting flights being delayed, cancelled, etc., having a carry-on and traveling early in the day should give you plenty of time to get to your destination and not have to worry about luggage getting mixed up in the fiasco. If you choose to drive, consider the cost of gas. Maybe it’s time to explore that national park that has always been within three hours of your house but you’ve just never gotten around to visiting. To get the most out of your mileage, keep in mind that going 65 mph uses 20% more fuel than going 55 mph, and that the more bags you bring, the more your car’s mileage will decrease. Try to avoid a roof rack especially; they decrease mileage the most. Finally, try to leave early in the morning or late at night to avoid traffic.
3
saving money get more bang for your buck There are tons of tiny tips that can, overall, save money on any trip you plan. For example, compare the prices of a mid-week stay versus a weekend stay; hotels sometimes increase the prices over the weekend. If your destination is the beach, book a hotel off the beachfront but within walking distance to cut the rates considerably. Instead of eating room service or going out to eat for every meal, hit up a grocery store on your way into town. Stocking up on cereals, snacks, sandwich materials, and maybe even getting creative enough to try cooking pasta in the hotel-room coffee pot can save you tons.
So get creative with your summer plans. Check websites like Priceline or Expedia to see if there are any featured discounts; throw a dart at a map and Google the location it hits; road trip across the country and try to stay with friends along the way. Vacation doesn’t have to be a hassle or a bank-breaker. After all, the point is to relax.

Get to knowMrs. Kathy McGruder :
“”
Advice from behind the Swipe-in Counter by Kelsey Field
What you serve is what you’re gonna’ eat, so get ready to eat it!
T
he “super-happy-friendly lady” at the Newcomb Dining Hall has become an iconic figure around U.Va., to say the least. But who really is Mrs. Kathy McGruder and why is she so darn happy? “I’m a nut. I’m a young chick that had a birthday in December, and I will never tell what age I am, but I am old enough to be many of your [the students’] grandmas.” Mrs. Kathy is obviously a fan of the sports teams at U.Va., but at the same time she is a fan of the students as a whole. “Man, the future lawyers and doctors and nurses I get to meet every day? It’s crazy! You guys rock. You’re all awesome. This place is awesome and the biggest part of it is the student body.” Even in the middle of the interview she proceeded to get up and run over to a student, hug him, and ask him how his day was. What does that tell you about the famous Mrs. Kathy? When discussing her exuberant and positive attitude, Mrs. Kathy replied, “You set the course of your day. If you get up moaning and groaning, and some days I have, the whole day will go wrong. Get up and say ‘Today is the day the Lord has made! I will rejoice and be glad in it!’ Whatever it is that you guys say I have, God made me have it because y’all needed it and y’all have what I need. He’s the bomb. Now I’m not trying to change anybody’s religious views, but I’m just saying how I feel. I work off of what you guys bring to me. I try to treat people the way I want my children to be treated.” Unable to simply compliment herself on her
Q&A
own positive attitude; she decides to praise the student body for bringing the positive attitude initially in order for her to feed off of it. That’s just who Mrs. Kathy is. What advice does Mrs. Kathy give to students when they are stressed out or have had a rough day? “It took a lot to get into this school. You’ve crossed over the biggest battle to get here; continue to utilize that to get out of here. Always believe in yourself. Just know I’m gonna’ make it and it’s gonna’ be alright.You kids come in smelling like mother’s milk and I just think to myself, ‘Man, I wish I knew then what I know now.’ Don’t be so cliquey. It doesn’t matter what the world thinks, just stay true to you.What you serve is what you’re gonna’ eat, so get ready to eat it!” Many students have fallen in love with this woman. And for many of the students who are far away from home or who are just homesick, she without a doubt provides that much needed sense of home. “With all the stress and things thrown at you in school it’s hard to remember or take the time to recognize the things that were really important to you and were never forgotten at home. I didn’t even think to celebrate the Vietnamese New Year, but when I came in and saw Mrs. Kathy’s festive earrings, it made me realize that it’s important to celebrate a part of me since Mrs. Kathy takes the time to celebrate this holiday. She is such a cheerful and happy woman and it really does rub off on all of the students that encounter her daily.” (Summer Nguyen, First year)
Q: On a scale of 1 to 10, how happy would you say you actually are? A: “I’m human. There are things that bother me, but I try my best not to reflect that on you guys. When I’m here, it’s a 10. When I leave here and I have to deal with the world outside of this community?” Mrs. Kathy then pauses and proceeds with, “It’s a nine,” and then emits her signature laugh. Q: Is there anything that makes you angry or unhappy? Do you have any pet peeves? A: “When someone gives someone else a hard time or they talk about someone because they are not what they think they should be. 99.9% of you guys are wonderful, but some look at me like ‘Oh, you’re a cashier.’ I used to work in cardiology, but it wasn’t for me. I love what I do.” Q: If you could trade places with anyone (living or dead) who would it be? A: “My mother. She is deceased, but she was a bad mama jama! Class, couth, and etiquette! She was absolutely awesome. I miss her.” Q: What is your favorite movie? A: “The Chronicles of Riddick. Vin Diesel is in it! It’s not even like I like it just for his body, but that is a good movie! Yes! I might go home and watch it today. It’s the shiznit.”

et’s face it. These days, our lives are fueled by the Internet and all of its beautiful machinations. When we need directions to a friend’s house for a party, we go to Mapquest and look them up. If for some reason we missed last night’s episode of Glee or Two and Half Men (but not really), we skedaddle on over to Hulu and catch up. But most of the time, in times of boredom or a needed break from the hectic world around us, we go to Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg’s baby was born in February 2004 by a group of students at Harvard University, including Zuckerberg, Eduardo Saverin, Chris Hughes, and Dustin Moskovitz. If you’ve seen David Fincher’s The Social Network, you probably have an idea of Facebook’s soap operatic history. And thus the notification revolution began. Personal statements took the form of status updates and people started talking to each other
more online than face to face. The user-friendly format and overall non-creepy feel of Facebook has endeared millions over the past seven years, but no one, not even the great Mark Zuckerberg himself, could have predicted the global impact Facebook would have in the formation of another kind of revolution. On June 6, 2010, an Egyptian businessman Khaled Said was viciously beaten to death in Alexandria by two policemen. Months later, a Facebook group called “We are all Khaled Said” was formed under an administrator known as “El Shaheed”, which means “the martyr.” According to www.elshaheed.co.uk, the group’s “main and only goal is to end torture in Egypt.” On January 25, 2011, tens of thousands of Egyptian citizens gathered in Tahrir Square in Cairo and across Egypt in protest of President Hosni Mubarak’s government. The following day, after the government found the countless
number of Facebook groups, including “We are all Khaled Said”, organizing the protests online, it shut down Internet access for the majority of the Egyptian population. Weeks after the protests in Egypt, which culminated in President Mubarak’s resignation from office on February 11, 2011, Google executive Wael Ghonim revealed himself to be the administrator of the “We are all Khaled Said” Facebook group. Ghonim, a resident of Dubai, was captured January 28, 2011 by Egyptian authorities and detained for two weeks. When talking about his role in the revolution, Ghonim said in an interview, “I created this page, and it happened that 375,000 people are in on it. So I’m using it to reveal the truth that the government is trying to hide.” Ghonim also maintains that his anonymity ultimately served his purpose. “This isn’t about me. It’s about Egypt.” It’s remarkable the power a simple social networking site has had over millions of people worldwide. Facebook gave a voice to thousands of silenced Egyptian citizens who finally, after years of brutality and submission, overthrew their government. New father Jamal Ibrahim even named his firstborn child “Facebook” to honor the site’s immense influence. And even now, in the wake of a horrible natural disaster, Facebook still gives people hope. A woman in Japan, hours after the tsunami, was heartbroken after hours of trying to find her son and husband in the aftermath. She decided to check her Facebook, and lo and behold, her husband’s most recent status update was about going to a friend’s house with his child.

Building Haiti: By Amanda Lim
I
Ania Turnier Inspires Fellow Students to Make a Difference
t is an uncharacteristically gorgeous day in mid-winter Charlottesville and I am sitting at Para Coffee on The Corner, a haven for nearly every U.Va. student, whether its caffeine, food, quiet, or just a wholehearted good time you seek. I am waiting for the amazing and awe-inspiring, Ania Turnier, founder and tireless leader of Building Haiti, an organization whose mission is to fundraise money to build classrooms there in the face of recovery. Haiti, a country struggling to get back on its feet after the catastrophic 7.0 magnitude earthquake that hit the small island nation in January 2010, left over 316,000 Haitians dead and more than three million affected by the quake in some way. Ania’s mission is to restore Haiti as a nation through empowerment and education of its youth. To call this one of the most selfless and honorable acts of kindness I have ever personally encountered would be an understatement. Just as I start to think I have time to catch up on the latest episode of How I Met Your Mother, Ania breezes in, apologizing with the deepest sincerity for running late. (Yeah, how dare you Ania. I know you probably weren’t doing something too important like saving your country or anything). I smile and get up to give her a hug. The last time I had seen this naturally gorgeous girl was when we lived in dorms together. It certainly has been a while. As soon as she takes a seat on one of the high wooden chairs near the back of the shop, it is as if no time as passed. Her smile, her sharp gaze, easygoing demeanor, and above all, her passion are just as strong and present as the day I met her. Would she like to order something from the coffee bar? This place has a killer macchiato, I tell her. She tells me no thank you, that she is having lunch with a friend at Revolutionary Soup afterwards. With an always regal and thoughtful presence, Miss Turnier opens up about everything from that one expression she tends to use a little too often to where she finds inspiration everyday.

What is your idea of perfect happiness? -To do what you love.

What do you consider your greatest achievement? *Construction of the classrooms made possible by Building Haiti -I always do what I love. And I’ve done it while staying a began in March 2011. kid. I’ve balanced it quite well.
VM (V Magazine): Okay, so I want to know all the details. Give me the who, what, when, where and why of Building Haiti. What inspired you to create it? AT (Ania Turnier): Well you see my grandfather, Alain Turnier, was in Lyon’s Club, which is a huge service organization in Haiti. He was always very involved with the organization and has been an inspiration to me my whole life. By the time I was 14 years old, my grandfather had already told me all about Lion’s Club and what it stood for. He convinced me to create a Lion’s Club for kids so that we could be of service to our country. You know, I come from a family in Haiti where I am fortunate enough to be able to afford education and a comfortable lifestyle. Well, before this, there was never any sort of organization that encourages teenagers and children to contribute to Haiti and I knew I had to do something. So, I coordinated benefits of all sorts and raised enough money to furnish a five-story orphanage! Unfortunately, it collapsed during the quake. Anyway, coming to U.Va., I knew that I wanted to get involved with an organization that meant something to me. I love my country; I am attached to it. I realized there was nothing here for Haiti, so I decided to found my own organization. Even though I did not know what it was going to be about at the time, I knew I wanted to target education. VM: Truly amazing. So, what is Building Haiti’s goal or mission, you could say? AT: To fundraise money to build schoolrooms in Haiti. However, Building Haiti is not directly responsible for managing the schools.
One of the locations for a school to be built beginning March 2011.
We are working with some of Haiti’s most well renowned companies. We are in partnership with an American company who is building the schools and once they are constructed, the education company from Haiti is going to furnish it AND provide teachers; they are the ones who manage and model the school, in addition to providing food for the students. In addition to their schoolwork, the students will work through Double Harvest, working in the community to give back. Building Haiti is responsible for bringing these companies together in the first place; we are the center of Haiti’s educational relief effort. You know, not being able to go back to Haiti kept me focused and strong; it was the least I could do for my country. And in every way, it helped me get through my first year. VM: How has Building Haiti assimilated into the community? What role do you see U.Va. and its students playing in maintaining the organization? AT: Well you see, there are a few Haitians that enroll every year at U.Va. A few more will enroll with each coming year. I want to leave a legacy that will last. I want U.Va. students to
get involved with something that will make a difference. This is not my organization. To me, the outcome is more important that who has founded Building Haiti, or who is leading it. As a result of the quake, more than seventy percent of Haitian schools collapsed. If you can make a contribution in any way, why not? We (U.Va.) are one of the better institutions in the United States. We have the power and knowledge to make a different. It does not matter if you are Haitian or not. VM: What is your vision for Building Haiti, and for the entire nation of Haiti in the next ten years? AT: My goal is to target Haitians, like myself, who want to make a difference to powerfully and positively affect the country. You know, Haitians leave a lot of things to faith. I hope to go against this perspective. I want to start a movement. I want it to be all about students working toward something truly positive. It is more significant and special to go to school and get an education if you didn’t have the opportunity before. I believe everyone should have that chance.

MUSIC to my ears by Hannah Brock

“You can begin your summer doing what you love most!”
10
ank tops, hippie hair, jorts, and ecstasy (I mean joy…); that’s right, it’s music festival time! Starting off with SXSW in March through Bonnaroo in June, you can begin your summer doing what you love most; if, that is, what you love is having fun and listening to rad music. This month, SXSW brings Austin alive with its epic nine-day JAMboree. You can’t have a music festival without the music, and with over one thousand bands registered to perform each year at over 200 venues in downtown Austin, SXSW undoubtedly delivers. This year, the acts include the alt-rock band The Almost, the Temper Trap-esque Wolf Gang, and many more in almost every genre. Aside from being one of the best music (and film) festivals in the world, SXSW also prides itself on being environmentally friendly: last year, SXSW
successfully diverted 95% of their solid waste from the landfills, reducing our teenage wasteland. While I’m sure the California desert would love some rain, I would certainly prefer it if it stayed dry from the 15th to the 17th of April, when my home will be one of the tents at the camp ground at Coachella. This festival, as famed for celebrity sightings as it is for its musical selections, is a three-day music extravaganza! This festival begins with American bands like Kings of Leon and Interpol, along with foreigners like Robyn and Gypsy and the Cat. The following day will feature acts from the Golden Globe album of the year winners Arcade Fire and French electro pop Yelle, as well as the earthy and multi-talented love of my life, The Tallest Man on Earth. The last day (it’s too short!) will star stunners like Kanye West, Ellie Goulding, and The Strokes, coming out of their hiatus to promote their new album, Angles. The desert has never looked (or sounded) so good! If the arid weather is not for you, or if you just like green trees and the grand Pacific Northwest, then watch out for Sasquatch!. No, not the furry monster that sneaks around the woods looking for people to talk to who won’t turn him (or her) into the media, but the killer May music festival in Washington State. Presented by the House of Blues, this four-day festival will have a great line up this year with artists like Iron & Wine, !!!,Young the Giant and Ratatat. Sasquatch! takes place in George, Washington, and there is more to love than just the music and the name. Voted Best Outdoor Music Venue nine times by Pollstar Magazine, The Gorge Amphitheater features a fabulous view of the Columbia River, and by fabulous, I mean a jaw-dropping
view of natural beauty that will make you proud to be an American. Nothing is more perfect than listening to Tokyo Police Club perform live while you look past the stage at mountains glowing in the golden sunlight of a late spring evening. Though it is not as majestic as the lush Northwest, Tennessee holds some wonders of its own. From June 9th to the 12th, you can catch one of the best things about Tennessee: Bonnaroo! Celebrating its tenth birthday, Bonnaroo is bound to be as amazing as ever, and with music acts like Florence + the Machine and The Drums, it’s going to be! Before you start thinking, “Bonnaroo? Sounds like all the other
music festivals,” think about this: Silent Disco. Silent? At a music festival? Yes. Odd, I know, but also awesome. Every one who wishes to partake in the Silent Disco is given stereophones that are in sync with a live DJ so you and others can party it up late into the night while the weary seek refuge in their campers. When school is still in session, I know how torturous it is to sit in class and learn about photons when you’d rather be listening to Phantogram. So this summer, whether you are at an internship or summer school, take a break, pull out your floppy hats and make sure you go to (at least) one of these fabulous music festivals.

THE KING OF COOL:
THE NECKTIE
by Dilsher Dhillon
O
ne must think of a tie as a canvas of sorts, the one piece of a suit that you can color or have fun with. The way people dress is cyclical. The fashion symbols identified rebellion and conformity swing back and forth. For a long time, rebellion was a T-shirt and jeans. Then that mess became conformity and dressing up became the way to differentiate yourself. The tie is yesterday’s symbol of conformity. As the white-collar world goes increasingly casual, it’s the rebellious guys with attitude and serious style who are knotting their ties up. Let me give you a few tips on getting it right with the necktie: 1. Bring on the COLOR It doesn’t matter what the make of a tie is, it’s all about color and pattern.You want to offset the rest of what you’re wearing with colors that mix things up, feel fresh and change the status quo. Wear ties that bring out the zaniness and fervour in your personality. J. Crew makes some amazing ties of all colours. Also, don’t hesitate in adding a plaid tie to your collection, they’re just as fashion forward and make for a distinguished overall impression. 2. The tie bar- the only bling a guy needs When it comes to man jewellery- rings, necklaces, and bracelets- some guys can pull them off and some guys just can’t. But anyone, I mean anyone, can wear a tie bar with a suit or in a casual setting. Yes, it’s a tribute to the suited American ‘60s, and why not? It’s a cost effective way to make your style twice as spirited as the next guy’s. So what kind of tie bar should you buy? The classic, impossible-to-screw-up silver. It’s a keeper. 3. Dress your tie down Try wearing a denim jacket or a leather jacket with a tie. It’s a refreshing experience because its an incredibly classy look and blends just the right amount of formality with edginess. I hate being too polished or buttoned-up. I’m not a lawyer and sure as hell don’t work on Wall Street- yet. 4. Wear it whether its expected or not Wear it whenever it floats your boat, be it at a evening soiree or at a brunch date. Its an extremely versatile piece of clothing and can be worn on plenty of different occasions. So what are you waiting for? Don’t be afraid to stand out. They may think it’s a bit too much, but they secretly admire you.
knot up with a vengeance
Reverse It You can attempt tying the skinny length longer than the wider length. Yes, it’s different. That’s the entire point.
Tuck It If you’re feeling more military than Italy, tuck your tie between the third and fourth buttons of your shirt. Think Frank Sinatra in 1953’s From Here to Eternity.
Twist It In Italy, a suave gent will twist the skinny length of his tie at the knot so that it runs alongside (instead of behind) the wider length.
