In 2022, UNC students faced a debilitating housing crisis for the 2023-24 school year. Last semester, as students registered for housing for the 2024-25 school year, the problem seems to have only worsened.
On Oct. 13, Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz released a statement following the Hamas attack on Israel condemning the act of violence and this “horrifying” act of terror. It came at a time of contentious debate over Israel and Palestine’s place in the Middle East and the two countries' geopolitical relationship. Regardless, Guskiewicz understood then that the killing of innocent civilians was an act of terror.
One of the most common pieces of advice that people gave me (often unsolicitedly) before starting my first semester of college was to not sign up for any morning classes. They told me that I wasn’t in high school anymore, so I had the freedom to choose my own schedule, and God forbid I would have to be out of bed before the clock said “p.m.”
It’s a good rule of thumb not to call a game until the final whistle. Anything can happen. But sometimes it is reasonable to make a prediction and get your hopes up.

Along with these changes came a new requirement: Campus Life Experience.
As SZA so eloquently put it in a Saturday Night Live sketch last year, it’s “cuffing season” — the season of a nauseating procession of “soft launches”, meeting the family and a constant repeat of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”
I have noise-canceling headphones. I work out in them which, in turn, has made them so sweaty and disgusting that I can’t wear them outside of the gym.
When I was in elementary school, I was taught that the first Thanksgiving was a festive feast in celebration of the friendship between the Pilgrims and Native Americans — an exciting beginning to the nation’s conception. My class would spend the days before school break making hand-outlined Turkeys, listing our favorite Thanksgiving foods and watching “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.”
On Nov. 2, the Beatles released a new song, six decades after their first album debuted. “Now and Then,” an originally unfinished demo recorded by John Lennon in the late 1970s, became a full-fledged track in the Beatles’ discography thanks to machine learning. That’s right — artificial intelligence just became the fifth member of the Beatles.
