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

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? 

Elizabeth Hyman Staff Writer If you asked me to write about my dad nearly a year ago, we would’ve been estranged, and I would’ve said, “maybe later.”  It’s a very strange thing, estrangement…eSTRANGEment, maybe it makes sense! I gave up my parents for six months. Six months without guidance, or rather, outside influence. At the time, what I thought I was giving up was just … Continue reading My Dad’s Love: An Article for my Father 

Zavia Pittman  Staff Writer  I am currently sending my resume to anyone who will take it in hopes of getting an internship for my major. The process has been stressful (like most things dealing with college), and I’m hoping that one of these days I just don’t have to worry about it anymore.  For now, as my search continues, I’ve noticed a running trend with … Continue reading  In This Economy!??: Are Unpaid Internships Unethical?
