Zavia Pittman Staff Writer ChatGPT Is Not Your Friend Over the past several years, we have seen an influx of artificial intelligence (AI) use all over social media and the news. In particular, social media has a way of making something seem as if it suddenly appeared from nowhere, but AI has been around for quite some time. We might associate it with modern chatbots … Continue reading We Need to Talk About AI
Tyler Holden Staff Writer The narrative at UNC Greensboro today is extraordinarily one-sided. Echo chambers of conformity consume the university’s otherwise intellectual landscape. We are often told what to think, as opposed to being taught how to think. Ever-increasingly, we are expected to hold the same worldview, without questioning whether that worldview is the right one. Coming to your own conclusions about politics, lifestyle, religion … Continue reading It’s Time to Challenge the Narrative
Tyler Holden Staff Writer Among the most consequential battles of the American Revolutionary War happened here in what is now Greensboro. The Battle of Guilford Courthouse took place on March 15, 1781, which involved fierce combat between the British Army on one side and those who became Americans, represented by the Continental Army as well as the Virginia and North Carolina militias, on the other. … Continue reading Battle of Guilford Courthouse: A Retrospection
Maggie Collins Editor, Arts and Entertainment There’s only one word that can describe the last two weeks of the semester: stressful. It is now the time of the year that every professor has assigned the last paper, group project or assignment, and they’re all due within a couple of days of each other. While it might seem impossible to find time for anything besides studying … Continue reading How to Improve Your Mental Health this Finals Season
Elizabeth Hyman Staff Writer So the single life…that’s something. Before I begin, I’m sure you’re wondering…WAIT, I thought she was engaged? Or dating? Or something like that?? I was, I was, and I was. Now I’m not, and it was probably the best thing that has happened to me in a very long time. To get through a classic break up, I find that you … Continue reading A Better Outcome
Zavia Pittman Staff Writer We all need a good reset, right? Well… maybe that’s the problem. These last couple of weeks have been brutal. If I had to describe how I felt, I would say that I feel like I’ve been jumped by seven MMA fighters whilst being on fire. Hyperbole aside, as the end of the spring semester draws closer, the pressure to finish … Continue reading Resetting into Retrograde
Aliyah Gibbs Staff Writer/ Editor I know this may be improper, or cynical, or just bad to say… but the older I get, the more I am beginning to believe that life, in a grand sense, kind of sucks. Forgive me, I know this is the quintessential argument of most people in their early-to-mid-20s… and 30s and 40s. It must mean the same realization has … Continue reading The Up Season
Elizabeth “Eth” Hyman Staff Writer Ahhhh yes. Kristen Stewart. Robert Pattinson. Taylor Lautner. The three most important figures in the life of any angsty teenager. When I was 15, I got the box set of “The Twilight Saga” on blu-ray, and that thing became my holy grail. Let me explain… I don’t know what it is, but something about these movies is more important to … Continue reading The Twilight Obsession (and why I still kinda have it)
Zavia Pittman Staff Writer Oh look it’s X! I should wave at them! *waves* …And they didn’t see me. Nice. Everyone has had their fair share of awkward moments. You can probably think of one that happened today or last week that makes you cringe a little inside and out. Maybe the person you were talking to didn’t follow the script you made for them … Continue reading Living With Social Awkwardness
Elizabeth Hyman Staff Writer In this life, there are some things we simply aren’t ready for. In this case, that thing would be my engagement. Last night I told my girlfriend what was exactly on my heart. I’m not ready to be engaged yet. Not now. She understood, and not an ounce of love has changed. And that was that. We’re still together, still madly … Continue reading What’s in a Ring?
