By Katerina Mansour, Staff Writer Published in print Apr. 1, 2015 We’ve all experienced it: group work. This idea in which you are forced to work with your peers in order to produce something academic in one of your classes. It could be a presentation, a paper, a report, and so on. It is a phenomenon I only first encountered when I moved to the United States. … Continue reading Group work: a painful joke
By Taylor Smith, Staff Writer Published in print Apr. 1, 2015 As many of you know, spring officially started last week. Don’t worry if you didn’t realize it, for it certainly doesn’t feel like it. With a new season arriving, there comes a multitude of natural hindrances. Spring is known for its horrendous pollen, frequent showers, warmer weather, and the occasional death by ravenous bees. I once … Continue reading Winter is over
By Rebecca Harrelson, Staff Writer Published in print Apr. 1, 2015 This is a phrase I’ve been thinking of lately. These words are applicable to so many aspects of life. I’m a 23 year old senior (and I’ve still got a year left, fifth year seniors represent!) I’ve taken my time with school. I took a year off between my junior and senior year, and learned so … Continue reading Friendships are not like car blinkers
By Rebecca Harrelson, Staff Writer I’m going to be honest: I, along with most of our student body, don’t give a shit about our Student Government Association (SGA). I’m not here to tell you to care or not; you can make up your own mind at the end of this article. I can, however, inform you about whom we should put our faith and power … Continue reading UNCG’s SGA— A Body of Resume Builders or visionaries?
By Katerina Mansour, Staff Writer Published in print Mar. 25, 2015 Some of the most common complaints I hear from students my age are relationship issues. It seems we’re constantly being distracted by our search for a significant other, and then the work that comes with having one. I personally do not see love as being a priority whilst in college, mostly because the likelihood of finding … Continue reading The quest for love can wait
By Rebecca Harrelson, Staff Writer Published in print Mar. 25, 2015 My specific interests in journalism come into fruition when they are directly applied to Human Rights. That is where I hold almost all of my focus, where I spend most of my conversations with people, and an area in which I hope to improve in my lifetime. I spoke with UNCG Graduate Daniel Foster about … Continue reading The walk is far from over
By Taylor Smith, Staff Writer Published in print Mar. 24, 2015 Many of you may have noticed that this week marks the return of the campus-wide event Humans v. Zombies. I put ‘v.’ instead of ‘versus’ because I would find the game much more entertaining if done in the style of a dramatic courtroom showdown. Instead, the campus is treated to the sight of college … Continue reading Curing a campus pandemic
By Taylor Smith, Staff Writer Published in print Mar. 17, 2015 This week marks the return of students and classes from the week long Spring break. It also signals the return of my weekly ramblings. Actually, I was planning on retiring but so many people from my 3-to-5 reader demographic demanded that I continue. So here I am, and with Spring break still on so many peoples’ … Continue reading Spring Break and those who are left behind
By Katerina Mansour, Staff Writer Published in print Mar. 17, 2015 The majority of us have received those email and text alerts informing us that a crime has occurred or suspicious behavior is being investigated. From attempted robbery to sexual assault, we’ve passively read over multiple warnings that our safety on campus is endangered. Yet, there is an odd mix of students either angered by the lack … Continue reading Are we safe at UNCG?
By Katerina Mansour, Staff Writer Published in print Mar. 4, 2015 First off, let me make this title clear to everyone. What I mean by obesity does not equal beauty is that health and beauty have absolutely nothing to do with each other in a purely objective sense. Society, in the United States, has slowly but surely been shifting to a place where people are equating health, … Continue reading Obesity does not equal beauty
