Farewell Column: UNC doesn’t protect survivors of sexual assault. I know because I am one.

By Savannah Bradley | Apr. 25, 2022

"And I do represent Carolina. I represent the one in three women that are sexually assaulted on this campus. I represent the intelligent young women who come into this institution to study and accomplish great work, only to be exorcized of all morale, their diplomas inked with pain and fear. I also represent the lucky ones; the women who barely come out of that pain alive."

Column: Has the online dating bubble burst?

By Savannah Bradley | Feb. 14, 2022

"Nowadays, I’ve been curious about how single people operate on dating platforms online. At their best, these interactions are embarrassing, exhausting and corny; at their worst, they’ll drain your self-esteem (and possibly your bank account)."

Column: And just like that, sex on screen still has a long way to go

By Savannah Bradley | Jan. 23, 2022

“When we’ve yet to see an honest and unembellished portrayal of Gen-Z women’s sex lives — in all the messiness, confusion, humor and thoughtfulness — I can’t help but wonder if we’re being deprived of interesting, necessary stories.”

By Savannah Bradley | Nov. 30, 2021

Column: Abortion resources at UNC — and how to get one

By Savannah Bradley | Sep. 29, 2021

"While the road to free, accessible health care may be arduous, there is still a plethora of options available to you if you’ve decided to terminate your pregnancy. Keeping this information transparent, public and accessible is essential for supporting abortion access for all students at UNC."
