Natalie King Publisher Something that I think is a huge threat to our generation is the sense of entitlement that so many millennials have inherited, or developed, in recent years. Our biggest threat, in turn, is ourselves. Millennials today show entitlement through their lack of understanding of any opinion that differs from their own. Most people would say that today’s teens and twenties … Continue reading The threat of entitlement
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
Quinn Hunter Senior layout Editor Taylor Swift. How do I even begin to explain Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift is flawless. She has seven Grammys and a white Audi. I hear her legs are insured for $40 million. She does car commercials in China. Her favorite movies are from Disney. She met Ed Sheeran at an award show and he told her she was pretty. She … Continue reading The debate of a generation: Taylor Swift or nah
Natalie King Publisher Somehow, winter break is right around the corner. This means we are all running on coffee and the small amount of what is left of our motivation to make it through the semester. For some, winter break is liberating and fun, while for others it is almost as stressful as being in school. To explain further, I have categorized the … Continue reading The Five types of winter breaks
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 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
Natalie King Publisher I must first self-disclose that I am a Christian and a Republican. I must also make it clear that I agree with the ideal of Separation of Church and State. I am well aware that since my personal opinions on many issues are based upon my religious beliefs, they cannot be implemented or “forced” on the rest of the country. With … Continue reading The misconception of separation of church and state
Natalie King Publisher It’s fall y’all. Everyone one knows what that means; it’s time for the only drink famous enough to have its own Twitter account to make its obnoxious debut, again. That’s right. Starbuck’s Pumpkin Spice Latte. The seasonal drink made its first appearance way back in 2003, feel old yet? It is served from September 1st of every year through late December. The … Continue reading Millennial Moment
Natalie King Publisher Instagram is an alternate universe of pictures, quotes and other rather useless bits of information we millennials likely scroll through 50 times per day. I would argue that almost anyone who is an active Instagrammer has experienced the awkward encounter of seeing someone you only know via social media in public. To those of an older generation, this would likely not be … Continue reading Millennial Moment
