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.

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.
