The Sad Girl Aesthetic: From Shakespeare to Tumblr
Bronwen K. Bradshaw Staff Writer In the years 2014 through 2016, I found my middle school self scrolling Tumblr for hours at night, looking at blog posts of Sylvia Plath quotes, Lana Del Rey Lyrics, and images of young, thin girls with captions like, “It kills me to love you.” I related with these people, thinking, “I’m young and sad, too!” Tumblr users somehow turned … Continue reading The Sad Girl Aesthetic: From Shakespeare to Tumblr
It’s Time to Challenge the Narrative
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
The Smell of Money
Maggie Collins Editor, Arts and Entertainment Environmental injustice is something I had never heard of until I took an environmental communications course at UNCG.

Dillon Brooks and the Grizzlies Continue to Embrace the Villain Role
Ethan Engellau Sports, Editor Everyone loves a good villain in basketball. Trae Young against the Knicks in 2021 was a viral sensation as Young was seen taunting the Madison Square Garden repeatedly, and even as a Knicks fan, I loved the intensity it brought to the series. Patrick Beverley has become a notable villain throughout the league, the type of player you hate to play … Continue reading Dillon Brooks and the Grizzlies Continue to Embrace the Villain Role
The Beginning of My Future
Isabel Stroozas Throughout the time that I was in high school, I didn’t think that I wanted to go to college as it seemed scary, and I already did not enjoy school. I never saw myself coming to UNCG. One of the main things that brought me here is my love for art and design. UNCG has an amazing interior architecture program and after looking … Continue reading The Beginning of My Future
