Ron de Varona Staff Writer A quick little Google search can offer some great insight as to what people think Millennials are “single-handedly” killing. Google suggested that we are killing mayonnaise, Reddit, Hooters, Capitalism, golf, divorce, cable, lunch and beer. Even though I agree some of those things can go and no one would cry, I highly doubt that beer and lunch are going to … Continue reading Millennial Memento Mori
Natalie King Publisher “Ugh, I wish I didn’t have to work!” It’s a statement many of us say on a regular basis. In general, no one particularly loves the part-time work they have to do in high school and/or college in order to pay some bills, but, hey, it’s character building. One of the most common jobs for first-time-job teens is working in a … Continue reading Millennial Moment
Natalie King Publisher Yeezus, Kanye, how did you get in so much debt? The critically egotistical star has, once again, created quite a scandal. I have always loathed Kanye West, so hearing this news did nothing but make me chuckle (mean, I know). What could have possible happened in West’s life to acquire such a debt that is nearly equal to his wife’s … Continue reading Millennial Moment
Baby, Baby, Baby, Noooo… Natalie King Publisher Warning all Beliebers: sensitive content ahead. That’s right, today’s topic is none other than the finally pubescent, Justin Bieber! From his shining YouTube discovery to now, I have never been a fan. Bieber has been breaking hearts since 2009, but the only emotion I obtain from him is frustration. His songs never fail to become the … Continue reading Millennial Moment
Mark Parent Opinions Editor Let’s just say it: El Nino, for North Carolinians, is a sign of God’s existence.You see, here in the South, cold temperatures are about as welcome as a drunk at a teetotalers meeting. It’s due to this utter dislike of sub-fifty degree weather that I’m giddy about the effects of El Nino, and, more than that, it makes me wish climate … Continue reading Millennial Moment
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
Natalie King Publisher Happy 2015, everyone — a time in which talking to an inanimate object does not always result in being prompted to seek medical attention. We can navigate, text, call, search and do a number of other tasks without even lifting a finger. What a time to be alive. That’s right, good ol’ Siri is a celebrity in today’s society, and it … Continue reading Millennial Moment
Natalie King Publisher Throughout childhood, many of us progressed through a plethora of character-building activities. Until this past Wednesday’s E-Board meeting, an activity that had slipped my mind, was the ever-popular, Girl Scouts. How could I forget? I advanced from being a “Brownie” to a “Junior” with such pride. My favorite aspect of being a Girl Scout were the various badges you could earn … Continue reading Millennial Moment
Why Cats rule and Dogs drool (Excessively) Matthew Johnson Sports Editor I really did not grow up with pets. My parents and older sister tell me we had a fish in our first apartment, but I certainly don’t remember it. In the days following “The Little Mermaid,” I guess my parents thought my sister would love a fish, but she never really warmed … Continue reading Millennial Moment
Natalie King Publisher As beautiful a campus as UNCG is, the beloved Graham building does it no justice. The huge brick mass on the corner of campus is nothing but an eyesore, and I know you have all been thinking it. We can first talk about the location. For many of us, during our beginning years at UNCG, the Graham building was a quite … Continue reading Millennial Moment
