Boderline Personality Disorder Ailey O’Toole Staff Writer In continuing my advocacy for a cultural conversation about mental health, I would like to shine some light on an essentially unknown mental illness.

BPD is a mental illness that has … Continue reading Mental Health Monthly
Ailey O’Toole Staff Writer Last Saturday, Sept. 19, I attended Greensboro’s first Peace Festival, an event arranged in response to a hate letter sent to the Islamic Center of Greensboro.

The evening of the festival involved an … Continue reading Greensboro Peace Festival counters Islamophobia
Catie Byrne Features Editor Candace Frazier, UNCG senior, hosted a discussion Sept. 16 in Tower Village about Beyoncé, feminism, how popular culture has influenced the perception of what a feminist is and how to measure whether a celebrity is intersectional in their feminism.

Mark Parent Opinions Editor As a conservative, let me make something very clear: Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk who explicitly denied marriage licenses to same-sex couples, acted unprofessionally and broke the law. Now, I know this must be news to just about every lefty on campus. After all, if anyone has been paying attention to the media coverage of this seemingly endless saga, it would … Continue reading Kim Davis represents more than a partisan attitude
Risking Risks Emily Bruzzo Editor-in-Chief I’ve been doing a lot of thinking recently about what it means to take risks. I’m 21 years old. I don’t drink — except for cranberry pomegranate juice, iced lattes and too much Mountain Dew. I don’t smoke: marijuana, cigarettes or hookah. I don’t really party; I can’t dance, my only move being the “white-girl shuffle.” I’m irreligious. My resistance … Continue reading Caught in the middle

Unfortunately, others are … Continue reading Millennial Moment
Jackson Cooper Staff Writer I don’t know why I still have a Facebook. Now, I can understand Tumblr, because it’s always entertaining. And Twitter, well, let’s just say a lot of important people are on Twitter. However, Facebook is just more personal, like what MySpace was to us ‘90s kids back in the day. Currently, Facebook has evolved into what Instagram was when … Continue reading Top ways to make people think your life is better than it is….on FACEBOOK
Over the summer, a series of videos ascertained by the Center for Medical Progress documented questionable abortion practices at multiple Planned Parenthood facilities across the country. Is this revelation proof that Planned Parenthood should be stripped of its ability to offer abortions, or is this just an obverblown and partisan story? Planned Parenthood should be defunded Mark Parent Opinions Editor The issue of ridding Planned … Continue reading Planned Parenthood
Adam Griffin Staff writer ince the attacks of 9/11, Americans have been faced with the threat of radical Islam. In response, the U.S. has entered into two wars, enacted legislation that violates civil liberties and engaged in a battle for the hearts and minds of the Islamic world — often losing that particular battle. Yet, the rise of Islamophobia following the 9/11 attacks continues … Continue reading America and radicalism
