Jackson Cooper Staff Writer It may not be common knowledge, but deep down, you know it’s true: one of the biggest fears about going to and being in college is that your roommates are actually serial killers. Maybe they watch “Fatal Attraction” a lot — remember, that movie where Glenn Close boiled a bunny because she stalked Michael Douglas? Or perhaps they love … Continue reading Why your roommates may or may not be serial killers
Matthew Johnson Sports Editor It was just an easy evening in July. After dinner, my father had prepared to watch Sunday baseball with me — a pastime seemingly as natural as watching the grand old bat and ball game itself. Exhausted from the humid afternoon, which comes with living at the bottom of the Bible Belt, he was disappointed when he came in the … Continue reading Millennial Moment
Matt Wood Staff Writer How many websites do you visit on an average day? How many individual web pages do you click on? “South Park” fans will recall the episode “Over Logging,” in which an Internet outage drives South Park’s residents to California, “Grapes of Wrath” style, in search of a solid Internet connection. Well, that episode came out way back in 2008 when smartphones … Continue reading Never Click on Clickbait

Jackson Cooper Staff Writer Where I work, I can tell when people are on a first date: their eyes are hopeful yet worried. There’s obviously an inner-monologue playing behind those eyes; in fact, I think they’re so wrapped up in the moment that they forget to pay me sometimes. They take their coffee — still no payment — and look around, gauging whether … Continue reading The top five first-date spots
Mark Parent Opinions Editor Unless you’ve been living in a hippie cult for the last three months, you’re well aware that Donald Trump is running for President. And, as a political junkie with an odd brain, I thought it would be cool to imagine a Donald Trump speech specifically tailored to the students of UNC-Greensboro. That’s right, grab your seat in the Aycock auditorium and … Continue reading The Trump Speech to UNCG
Our fourth branch is in need of a check Emily Bruzzo Editor-in-Chief Last week, one of my colleagues at The Carolinian wrote on, what he deemed, the politics of outrage. He lambasted the American media culture and offered, what I believe are, several salient insights. I agree with much of what my colleague argued; however, as a young journalist, and a member of the collegiate … Continue reading Caught in the Middle
Adam Griffin Staff Writer The Statue of Liberty stands as a tall symbol in New York’s harbor. The words from her iron frame echo across the world: “Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp,” cries she with silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, … Continue reading Immigrant attitudes

Ubiquitous access to the Internet empowers anyone who can put their thoughts into words or catch a transgression on a cellphone camera, to be heard by tens of thousands … Continue reading Life in Black lives matter?
