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
The Editorial Staff The Women’s Soccer team played host last Thursday to one of the most prominent athletic universities in the country. In a match against Florida State, the team was defeated in overwhelming fashion, losing to the nationally ranked Seminoles 6-0.

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.

The Editorial Staff The Democratic nomination is officially up for grabs. For nearly three years, the American people were told that Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state, was going to walk uncontested into the Oval Office as the first female president of the U.S. That calculation appears to be dead wrong. According to a pair of recent polls, Bernie Sanders, the self-described democratic socialist … Continue reading Run, Joe, run
Jackson Cooper Staff Writer “What I’ve made for you today is a rustic-style, raspberry reduction, garnished with a smooth roasted peanut spread, spread across a thick slice of white bread with another slice of bread holding the flavors in place.

Mark Parent Opinions Editor This past Sunday night, I was locked in a medieval torture chamber. Well, not really. The truth is that I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a local Bernie Sanders political rally on behalf of The Carolinian; as you can probably guess, I decided that socialism is not my forte.
