We often take North Carolina to be a conservative state when it comes to labor, best highlighted by our right to work and employment-at-will laws. But it has not always been this way.
Reproductive health is under threat in the U.S., and women will pay the price.
Editor's note: This column discusses sensitive topics, such as sexual assault and harrasment.
So, I walked into my living room the other day, and my friend was talking about a thing she used to have with a boy. This is not in itself unusual: my living room is frequently used for debriefing and informational sessions about our various love lives. What was weird was that, as I walked by, she described her and said boy’s relationship as ‘whispering.’
During the Chapel Hill Climate Strike Friday, activists biked 33 miles from Chapel Hill to Raleigh to prompt local and state lawmakers to address climate change. Their ride, while a little long for a daily commute, proved that biking is a feasible mode of transport in the Triangle.
Now that we’re more than one month into the semester, everything feels like it’s picking up. This is typically when my creative outlets are pushed to the back-burner as I prioritize school, work, the post-grad job search, etc.

When I told my mother that I would be writing a column about sex and sexuality, she asked me to write under a pseudonym. My sister said I, “brought shame upon our family” (weird wording for a seventeen-year-old, right?) My roommate, on the other hand, responded excitedly, “I’m going to be living with Carrie Bradshaw!” Well, as much as I’d like to have the "Sex and the City" star’s shoe collection (which rivals that of Brandon Huffman), I decided to write about sex to expand the conversation Carrie began twenty years ago.
Prepare yourselves — the OC Report is going to look a little different starting this week.
Darkness. All I see is darkness.
The term Nacirema is American spelled backwards. It was first introduced by Horace Miner in, "Body Ritual Among the Nacirema." Today, it is mainly used by anthropologists to distance themselves, and avoid personal bias, when writing about American culture, its rituals and its customs.
Content Warning: The following article discusses sensitive topics such as suicide.
In 2006, I spastically danced in clogs to Taylor Swift's self-titled album as I belted along to “Our Song” and “Picture to Burn.” Since then, I have been nothing short of a committed fan through her exodus of self-exploration with albums featuring songs: “Breathe,” “Never Grow Up,” “Begin Again," “Clean” and “End Game.” I taped pictures of her to my middle school locker, and I cried when Santa Claus magically knew that tickets to her Speak Now concert were my dream come true.
On Aug. 24, one week after moving back to UNC for my sophomore year, a KKK rally took place in Hillsborough. These demonstrators stood outside of the Orange County Courthouse, some in white robes, bearing signs in support of the KKK and Confederate ideals.
