"In 2022, UNC students faced a “debilitating” housing crisis for the 2023-2024 school year. Last semester, as students registered for housing for the 2024-2025 school year, the problem seems to have only worsened."
"There is a lot to learn when it comes to the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing of my people, and that includes non-Indigenous people as well. We are resilient and will never stop fighting for a healthy world that our future generations will tend to. They deserve clean water, healthy seasons, and fresh food."
My existential crisis began like any other: a well-meaning conversation with my relatives.

"Media culture is a two-way street and there’s a cyclical relationship between consumers and creators – consumers pour in likes and views and in response, creators feed in to this demand."

"I've ranked Lana Del Rey's discography from worst to best, perfect for people looking to change their lives for the better by becoming a Lana fan. It's also great for the hardcore fans like me, as long as you agree and offer no suggestions."
"Consumers have the opportunity to keep up the momentum from this boycott and to organize others to push for what they want from these corporations.

"While local media rightfully criticizes Roberts’ lack of experience as a school administrator, this appointment is more than a matter of inexperience. Lee Roberts’ history directly opposes UNC Chapel Hill’s “unwavering commitment to excellence.”
"For those of my readers who are not quite hip to historical events, Archduke Franz Ferdinand was the heir to the Austria-Hungary throne in 1914, when he was assassinated by a Serbian terrorist group which ultimately resulted in the invasion of Serbia by Austria-Hungary. This subsequently started World War I."
"As we head into the spring semester, the Editorial Board has taken the time to look back at 2023 and predict what the new year might have in store.

"Our generation claims to support mental health and self-care, but you can’t heal a semester so stressful that it induced stomach aches with something as simple as a face mask."
