Tyler Holden Staff Writer The narrative at UNC Greensboro today is extraordinarily one-sided. Echo chambers of conformity consume the university’s otherwise intellectual landscape. We are often told what to think, as opposed to being taught how to think. Ever-increasingly, we are expected to hold the same worldview, without questioning whether that worldview is the right one. Coming to your own conclusions about politics, lifestyle, religion … Continue reading It’s Time to Challenge the Narrative

Tyler Holden  Staff Writer  Among the most consequential battles of the American Revolutionary War happened here in what is now Greensboro. The Battle of Guilford Courthouse took place on March 15, 1781, which involved fierce combat between the British Army on one side and those who became Americans, represented by the Continental Army as well as the Virginia and North Carolina militias, on the other. … Continue reading Battle of Guilford Courthouse: A Retrospection

Elizabeth Hyman  Staff Writer  So the single life…that’s something. Before I begin, I’m sure you’re wondering…WAIT, I thought she was engaged? Or dating? Or something like that??

Hyperbole aside, as the end of the spring semester draws closer, the pressure to finish … Continue reading Resetting into Retrograde

Aliyah Gibbs  Staff Writer/ Editor I know this may be improper, or cynical, or just bad to say… but the older I get, the more I am beginning to believe that life, in a grand sense, kind of sucks. Forgive me, I know this is the quintessential argument of most people in their early-to-mid-20s… and 30s and 40s. It must mean the same realization has … Continue reading The Up Season

Elizabeth “Eth” Hyman Staff Writer  Ahhhh yes. Kristen Stewart. Robert Pattinson. Taylor Lautner. The three most important figures in the life of any angsty teenager. When I was 15, I got the box set of “The Twilight Saga” on blu-ray, and that thing became my holy grail. Let me explain… I don’t know what it is, but something about these movies is more important to … Continue reading The Twilight Obsession (and why I still kinda have it) 

Zavia Pittman  Staff Writer  Oh look it’s X! I should wave at them! *waves* …And they didn’t see me. Nice.  Everyone has had their fair share of awkward moments. You can probably think of one that happened today or last week that makes you cringe a little inside and out. Maybe the person you were talking to didn’t follow the script you made for them … Continue reading Living With Social Awkwardness
