"I really thought that this experience would translate into success with other applications and interviews, but I gained no tangible career benefits."
"DEI programs represent more than empty symbols for institutions to win points for being progressive; these programs are essential to fostering a community that makes everyone feels safe and heard."
"Administrators and the chancellor are hiding behind facilities workers to disguise their intentions. They want to quash dissent and protest but without using UNC Police because that might look bad."
"I throw the word 'home' around a lot — I use it when I’m leaving campus, but I’ve also caught myself using it when I’m in my hometown and refer to coming back to my dorm. And so I’ve come to realize: I have no idea where 'home' actually is."
"As college students, many of us are living away from home for the first time and encountering financial tests we have not faced before. Unfortunately, many of us are woefully unprepared."
"While LinkedIn can be effective in helping individuals find jobs, internships, professional opportunities and mentors, the platform contributes to already high levels of stress among students. From my experience, it makes us second-guess our professional and academic worth."
"The subjectivity and sensibility the humanities are characterized by is not a computer’s strong suit. The studies of English, philosophy, religion and ethnic diaspora all require not mere objective truth, but subjective opinion and interpretation."
"We, the undersigned students of UNC, formally request the presence of the UNC Board of Governors, the UNC Board of Trustees and UNC's chancellor search advisory committee at the Forum on University Governance at the Anne Queen Lounge on April 24 from 5:30 to 7 p.m."
"These recent actions from the Board of Governors convey that the diverse voices of students across our campuses are not worth protecting, at least not at the expense of political intrigue and speculation."

"The best thing about Franklin Street food is there’s something for everyone. From the Mexican at Cosmic Cantina and Que Chula Tacos & Tequila Bar to burgers at Al’s Burger Shack or Buns Burgers & Fries, The Daily Tar Heel Editorial Board has rated some of Franklin Street's most popular and iconic restaurants, based on taste, environment and price."
"Generations before us who went to college had to chat in person to communicate. Though we live in a very different world on changed campuses, the raw communication style of face-to-face conversation is still the only type of communication that is absolutely necessary. Texting, FaceTiming, snapping, DMing and even sending a letter via dove is just fluff."
"If states continue in Arizona’s path, moderates and independents who support abortion rights will be less and less likely to vote Republican, effectively giving President Biden political victory."
"Walking through Chapel Hill with my dad is like visiting a graveyard of lost friends. As an alumnus of the school, he knows the ins and outs of Franklin Street, the best restaurants, bars and hidden gems. But he also remembers the places that were beloved during his time here that are no longer around."
"There is nothing that strengthens my relationship with others like being outside. Whether it is trail hiking or walking around in the Quad, I feel more connected to the people I am with. I believe it is because of the limited distractions that come with being outdoors."
"Southern hospitality is integral to Carolina culture. It is simply easier to interact with other students, professors, faculty and local residents when they are so eager to engage. It’s part of what makes this region so inviting, and part of what makes me confident that UNC-Chapel Hill presents model college students."
"With an ever-changing media environment and paywalls in well-known digital news sources, the longstanding news subscription model is hard to maintain."
After just a few more cold, dark weeks, students will no longer need to wear sweatpants everyday. The quad will suddenly overflow with students choosing to skip their lectures and recitations.
"Since I was aware of my racial identity, I’ve struggled with the feeling of never completely belonging to either the white or Filipino half of my ethnic background."
