"This one’s for all my Broadway babies, and it’s especially for people like me, who might've strayed away from the stage, but who never stopped telling stories."

"While local media rightfully criticizes Roberts’ lack of experience as a school administrator, this appointment is more than a matter of inexperience. Lee Roberts’ history directly opposes UNC Chapel Hill’s “unwavering commitment to excellence.”
"For those of my readers who are not quite hip to historical events, Archduke Franz Ferdinand was the heir to the Austria-Hungary throne in 1914, when he was assassinated by a Serbian terrorist group which ultimately resulted in the invasion of Serbia by Austria-Hungary. This subsequently started World War I."
"As we head into the spring semester, the Editorial Board has taken the time to look back at 2023 and predict what the new year might have in store. Whether it be on campus, in the community or on the red carpet, we hope to continue to cover important issues with complexity and care. Here's what we foresee in 2024."
"Our generation claims to support mental health and self-care, but you can’t heal a semester so stressful that it induced stomach aches with something as simple as a face mask."
"There is not a single mention of neutrality in Guskiewicz's initial statement. If the chancellor can comprehend that innocent people dying is not a political matter when discussing Israel, why was the murder of thousands of Palestinians suddenly subject to talks of institutional neutrality?"
"I am not pieces of a puzzle that fit together perfectly to create a predetermined image. I am a growing mosaic that will never be finished."
"We aim to be holistic in our commentary and consider multiple viewpoints when we meet each week before releasing an opinion or calling for change. We also acknowledge that we are not able to comment on everything and we have, at times, overlooked important issues."
"Though the cancellation of classes was a necessary and important step for UNC administrators to take, the loss of up to four days of class time set the tone for the rest of UNC students' semesters — and not in a positive way."
"I kept waiting for the pin to drop; waiting for the day that waking up before 8 a.m. became unbearable. That day never came."
"Finals are less than a week away and you’ve been chosen as one of our contestants for our biannual competition: UNC Finals Survivor."
"Then come a historic three BYU goals within those last 10 minutes, and suddenly the Tar Heels are returning to Chapel Hill defeated and empty handed. It seems like a fluke, but is it?"
"UNC Hillel is a space to grieve, process our emotions and be with a community who understands during this time. Hillel listens and supports us as tensions rise on our campus and antisemitism surges online and in Chapel Hill."
"A day lauded for bargains so good that people physically fight for them is bound to lose excitement when the bargain can be had weeks before."
"It’s perfectly understandable that UNC wants to increase student engagement and event attendance. They’re just going about it the wrong way."
"Even if these dating apps had nothing but pure intentions, it’s still strange for people to have access to thousands of posts from other singles looking to mingle."
"Start a conversation with the person next to you in the lecture hall, even if it might be uncomfortable. Chat with the person in line behind you at the coffee shop — it’s an opportunity to connect with no strings attached."
"Ceasing to fund distinguished professorships in the humanities detracts from the education of every student at Carolina. We must continue to reward and attract excellent scholars in the humanities because it is their work that grapples with what makes us human."
"It can be incredibly difficult to listen to opinions and feelings that may seem outlandish to you. However, if you could find it in your heart to use empathy for the other side — listen before you share your side — I believe the world will be one step closer to a better place."
"The 'Who Would Win' book series is a collection that pits two animals against each other and evaluates who would win. Here are my own, with a modern twist."
