10 Things All UNC Greensboro Students Know Too Well
Ciara Gazaway

If you're one of the 20,000 lucky students that get to attend UNC Greensboro, you know there are some things that are only a part of a Spartan's reality! Here are the top 10:

1. Seeing squirrels do parkour in the trees no longer phases you

Whether it's holding an entire bag of chips in its mouth or doing flips from branch to branch, you learn to embrace the crazy squirrels and never get in their way.

2. The Clock Tower is no joke

"I don't believe in superstitions!" Okay....but I know you're not going to walk under the Clock Tower until you have your diploma in your hand!

3. No one likes to admit it, but Minerva is the real deal

We've all had the one class where you really just need some extra help, and Minerva always works her magic!

4. You MUST look both ways before crossing College Ave otherwise a biker will take your life

No explanation needed.

5. It doesn't matter if it's the middle of winter, you will still get ice cream from Yum Yums

It is always the perfect weather for a Yum Yum's hot dog and ice cream!

6. All your friends who go to other schools are jealous of our rec center

The 92 Million dollar beauty that is the Kaplan Wellness Center is the new selling point of UNCG and it's no secret that other schools are a little envious.

7. Ms. Brenda is a precious human being and we must protect her at all costs

If you don't know who Ms. Brenda is, do you even go to UNCG?

8. Spartan Village Phase II was the only good thing that came out of 2017

Pita Delite, Taco Bao, Tropical Smoothie Cafe, Homeslice Pizza, and The Den..What more do I have to say?

9. Going through the EUC at class change time? Headphones in, head down, and try not to make eye contact with someone handing out a flyer

Again, no explanation needed.


10. You proudly say our football team is undefeated

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
