Every Wednesday, the heart of campus transforms into a celebration of music, movement, and community. Hosted by the Center for Student Engagement in collaboration with multicultural groups across campus, Hip Hop Wednesday blends the energy of a fair with the soul of a block party. Tables line Greene Street as student organizations offer food, drinks, and merchandise-often raising funds for their organizations or community causes-while the sounds of bass and laughter fill the air. This monthly celebration has become a hallmark of community and connection at USC, as students get the chance to explore new places and opportunities at their school.

The music pounded in her ears as she navigated through the packed second floor of the bar. The lights were low as she made her way to the counter and grabbed two cups of water—one for herself, one for a friend. She was exhausted and hoped to sober up as the night ended. She had barely taken a few sips of the water when she noticed something was wrong. The room rocked back and forth in front of her eyes, and she could feel herself become dizzy and disoriented as her vision swam.

Doing simple tasks such as going for a walk, getting an Uber or exploring a new area all pose risks for women, especially young women. Far too often the news is inundated with stories of women being put in dangerous situations by their rideshare drivers. This apprehension can make it difficult for women to go out, have a social life and even do basic, everyday tasks such as running to the store. A GroupMe called “Safe Rides” has become popular among female students on campus, especially freshmen, and is looking to change this struggle.

If you know any woman in your life, a common trait amongst almost all of them is the presence of a taser, pepper spray, a swiss knife, a whistle or a shock pen on their person as they carry out their day-to-day activities. But it’s even closer to a guarantee for women who leave their homes at night. Whether it be grabbing a bite to eat, having some drinks in the Vista, meeting up with some friends in Five Points or just walking across campus to the Bull Street Garage after a late-night study session, women carry around these items as safety measures to make them feel more comfortable at night.

College is full of ups and downs. Given the current state of the world, many things are constantly shifting and, while adjusting to young adulthood, we learn to cope with the ever-changing society around us. Though we can’t always be certain what lies ahead, at least we have the little things that bring us comfort and peace. Garnet & Black was able to sit down with four UofSC students, all of whom are in different stages of their college careers. Their ideas of comfort and expression are similar but still different.

Four. That’s the number that haunts me. Everywhere I go, I see it, following me relentlessly. You may ask why such an unassuming number has given me nightmares recently, but sharing this information may haunt you as well, so read with caution.

It may seem like everyone is spending a daily meal swipe at the Chick-Fil-A, but more students than ever before are following plant-based diets. Plant-based doesn’t necessarily mean that someone is vegan or vegetarian, but that plants are the focal part of their diet. According to a survey by College Pulse, 14% of college students are plant-based. This is almost four times the percentage of plant-based adults.

Saturdays in South Carolina are COVID-19’s latest victim – one that college students have been dreading nationwide since the virus reached pandemic status. Tailgate lots are barren wastelands of pavement, there are no more rivers of students and families in garnet and black trekking to Williams-Brice, and a situationally small number of only 20,000 fans are able to snag a socially distanced ticket to the football game itself. Game day’s survival looks bleak – but Gamecock students won’t let it die without a fight. And if college kids are masters of anything, it is making fun out of seemingly nothing. The students of Carolina have put their patience and innovation to the test to keep traditions alive while practicing safe social distancing.

College is all about appearances: how you look on the first day, how you cover up those dark circles after all-nighters and how you cover up your crippling fear of the real world.
