“I’ll never be one of those girls,” I once thought while slipping my hands into the back pockets of my jeans. 

So many women fall face-first in the world of fashion without even realizing they’re doing it. Problems such as leggings being worn as pants, Uggs accompanying any outfit on earth, and colorful underwear showing through clothes are just a few of the millions of fashion don’ts.

BOSTON- Two simultaneous bombs ripped the peaceful events of Patriots Day to shreds. Their wake leaves three dead and over 170 injured. 

North Carolina should really take a hint from its neighbor to the north; Maryland, to be exact. It was just weeks ago that Maryland became the 18th state in the union to outlaw the death penalty, a barbaric and medieval practice that should have ended long ago. Yet, here we are in the year 2013, and still we haven’t realized that the death penalty is expensive, ineffective, and philosophically immoral.

Ask my parents why they decided to move here, and they'll give you a handbag of generic reasons: for my education; they've always wanted to live by the beach; it's a growing, tranquil city. But if you give it just enough time to find out our dog's name, you wouldn’t know whether to give them a pity pat or to hide your snickering. Hint: his name is Dawson Creek.

It’s a harrowing journey, walking from class to class on chancellors. The massive rush of students, educational booths, and blinding Wilmington sunshine turn the average walk to class into a heart-pumping, dizzying event not for the faint of heart. Daily, things go wrong. For this fact, there are a few steps all UNC Wilmington students should follow when witnessing an accident on campus.

While researching this article, I did what most students who frequent UNCW's latest web craze do- I stalked the stalkers of UNCW Crushes and Seahawk Stalkers. 

I am a student at the University of North Carolina, Wilmington and my parents should not be taxed for my vote. 

Civil rights advocates, Democrats, and Latino students are alarmed, but not surprised, at the newest installment of Governor McCrory’s plan to rapidly dismantle progress in North Carolina: Eliminate The Office of Hispanic/Latino Affairs.

The Women's Studies Resource Center, an essential meeting place, is still stuck in a small area in the quiet section of the library. According to the UNCW Admissions, women comprise 58 percent of the student population, and minorities make 15.7 percent. But women, who represent more than both men and minorities on this campus, are being acknowledged far less via inefficient space alone.

In the 1970’s co-ed dormitories were created. Today, this is the norm. A significant number of college universities offer co-ed dorms to students. There has even been the creation of co-ed bathrooms in some colleges. The biggest cultural shock might be the recent development of co-ed dorm rooms.

The time comes before the end of every school year (unless you are an incoming freshman) to decide where you will be living for the coming year. With all the emails we receive from Housing, everyone knows how to reclaim the rooms they were in or how to establish favorable potential roommate selections, but what students do not know is how binding and how progressively more expensive an on-campus housing contract really is.

Human sex trafficking is an underground crime that is intensifying across the country. North Carolina ranks in the top eight worst states for human trafficking and the port city of Wilmington facilitates this practice. Due to its proximity to a state port as well as Interstate 40, Wilmington is susceptible to sex trafficking as it is easy to move victims in and out of the city quickly.
