The words ain’t that bad Emily Bruzzo Editor-in-Chief We’ve come a long way since August, readers. At the beginning of the semester I wrote a column — it was more like a desperate letter begging you for sympathy — asking for patience as my colleagues and I attempt to navigate this new path The Carolinian is on. I said that a newspaper is a partnership … Continue reading Caught in the Middle
Natalie King Publisher Somehow, winter break is right around the corner. This means we are all running on coffee and the small amount of what is left of our motivation to make it through the semester. For some, winter break is liberating and fun, while for others it is almost as stressful as being in school. To explain further, I have categorized the … Continue reading The Five types of winter breaks
Sophia Lucente Staff Writer There is one thing that ordinarily makes or breaks any serious relationship I form with another person: whether or not they read. More importantly, do they read the news? That isn’t to say that I dismiss anyone without a daily paper-reading habit. I probably wouldn’t have any friends at all if that were the case.

Adam Griffin Staff Writer As the presidential election gets closer and several debates have occurred, it appears that the Republican field is finally narrowing. And, interestingly, candidates have begun vying for three major blocks of Republican voters; these blocks, of course, represent voters seeking a candidate that embodies the party establishment, the conservative movement, or an outsider to politics. A major criticism of … Continue reading The Republican field narrows
Jackson Cooper Staff Writer The best worst decision of my life (so far) was the fourth Peachy Keen Soda. Absolut Peach Vodka, Monin Peach, Peach Schnapps, and club soda—my kind of drink. My friend, for confidentiality reasons we’ll call him “Joe,” was on his fifth glass of Merlot. Around us, tea lights provided ambiance as clusters of twenty-somethings chattered about … Continue reading The unbelievable, true story of Club Pepsi
Matthew Johnson Sports Editor At 21-years old, I have been called a number of times, the oldest 21-year old you would ever see. While I hopefully think this would be a compliment on the wise advice I have (which no one seems to take), or my appreciation for the The Godfather and the AFL and ABA, it is usually for my mannerisms … Continue reading Millennial Moment
