20 Struggles Students At UNCG Face
Matthew Garr

At the University of North Carolina at Greensboro I would like to say on behalf of the students that we go through a lot of struggles whether it be daily or weekly. Not everyone goes through these struggles, but if you go through at the least half of these you are a typical college student at UNCG. When most of these struggles hit us Spartans you can hear us moan and groan like Tina from Bob's Burgers or let out a little curse word here or there.

1. "Do I need a raincoat today?"

2. Surviving Spartan Chariot rides

3. Getting Chick-fil-a breakfast

4. Forgetting Yum Yum's only takes cash

5. Getting free things at sporting events

6. Actually getting fried chicken and mac'n cheese on Wednesdays

7. Taking a "quick" trip to Taco-Hut

8. Dodging the human like squirrels

9. Finding Parking

10. Voyaging out to the new gym

11. Finding power outlets

12. Playing Frogger on Spring Garden

13. Getting a chance to swing on The Swings

14. Going to Bojangles without a line

15. Riding your bike around campus and not hitting other people

16. Wanting to sit outside and getting good WiFi signal

17. Avoiding the urge for Starbucks

18. When the Sparkets run out of Oreo's

19. Waiting for the right Heat bus to arrive

20. Deciding between Sonic and Jimmy Johns at 2 A.M.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
