I straight up have the best father in the world. As you may know he follows UVa very closely because he went here for undergrad! It slightly offended him that I mentioned I probably wouldn’t be able to buy the lifetime Alumni membership straight out of college (because I’d heard it was super expensive and took installments out of your paychecks or something crazy like that. Don’t know how true that is, but that was my line of thinking). He surprised me right after this semester started by giving me the gift of my life membership!
While the discounts the card offers you are minimal and mostly restricted to Charlottesville I believe, it does make me feel good to be able to support Alumni Hall. They’ve been great sustaining my livelihood with free class dinners, maintaining my enthusiasm for events like Taste of Charlottesville, providing me with presentations that helped me realize I really didn’t want to go to grad school right now and shouldn’t force myself into it, and finally supplying me with most of the cups we use in my kitchen! Actually, I'm on my way to go to Casino Night at the hall tonight. Maybe this little shoutout to the Universe will bring me luck in winning prizes! Stay classy, Alumni Association.
