While many of us can share the same experiences, we are all destined for different paths. Yet, as we climb the ladder towards our goals, there are moments when we feel discouraged. We may see one of our peers receiving higher marks for the same efforts that we implemented. We may see someone with the same desires as us progressing faster. Before we realize it, we may be sinking down the rabbit hole of comparing and contrasting our lives to others. We’ll start to forget that we are not all the same and attempt to mimic others while sacrificing our own identities.

In 2020, quarantine put an end to spontaneous human connection. There weren't any casual conversations with friends on the way to class. Nor was there any light-hearted small talk with your classmates. What there was, however, was a lot of weary silence and an unfulfilled desire for connection.

Six guesses. Five letters. One word. Everyone has heard about Wordle, the daily word guessing game that’s swept the internet into a frenzy. Every day, people attempt to guess a five-letter word faster than their friends and post their attempts on Twitter and other social media platforms to share their enjoyment and brag about who solved the Wordle first.

Street performing has existed for centuries. It is a way for individuals to showcase their talents, express themselves and connect with their community. These small, unconventional and unexpected performances have the power to disrupt the bustle of a street and unite a crowd with a universal appreciation of a certain skill. A spirited performer who is willing to share their passion with their community allows onlookers to take a step out of their own lives and appreciate the art around them. People might stop for only a moment, or they might not stop at all, but in just a moment, street performers can remind us of the joy that can be found in creating, movement or art.

Every Sunday looks the same here in South Carolina, especially if you’re a Catholic. The churches are vast, inside and out, with colored-stained windows depicting different scenes from the bible. Their intricate designs set a feeling of security in these faithful people.

For years in America, the microaggressions directed towards Asians and Pacific Islanders has been normalized to the point where it's disregarded. Examples of this range from accusing Asian-Americans of eating their pet dogs to stereotypes such as “you’re Asian, you’re supposed to be good at math!” In media, the portrayal of Asians is just as bad. Before COVID-19, the hate against the AAPI community (Asian-American Pacific Islander) was usually stereotypical comments and insensitive jokes. However, ever since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s been much more than that. According to an article by NPR, there has been more than 9,000 incidents of anti-Asian hate crimes since COVID-19 started. Asians and Pacific Islanders say they are getting hit by a second virus, a “hate virus.” To completely understand what this community is going through, people need to see it through the lenses of Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders. After two students and two professors at UofSC participated in an anonymous interview, they were able to relay their experiences of being Asian in America, as well as their thoughts on how COVD-19 has affected their communities

Every so often, the Greene Street section in front of Russell House has something going on. Tents are set up campaigning for signatures, off-campus apartment complexes come to convince freshmen they aren’t bad and students running for class government will inevitably try to throw thousands of koozies at potential voters. But around once every month, that space is transformed. Tables of community organizations line the perimeter of the road as the speakers of the DJ booth are plugged in, and a large crowd gathers to celebrate representation, culture and really good hip-hop music. This, as many know, is Hip-Hop Wednesday.

In recent years, some have started to shy away from traditional health clubs or gyms due to a sense of toxicity and competitiveness. This change has led to the boom of boutique fitness studios in the past few years. Boutique fitness studios are smaller gyms that specialize in a certain type of experience for their members. These studios often have intimate class sizes and a sense of community. Even with this sense of community, many of these clubs are shrouded with the veil of exclusivity that doesn’t cater to all members of our society.

Attending college is a major transition period for any student, but it poses a different experience for those who are first-generation. Defined as someone whose parent(s) did not complete a four-year college or university degree, first-generation students are predominantly nonwhite and from low-income backgrounds. They also usually face a multitude of challenges. This can include difficulties with the application process, relating to other college students and an overall pressure to excel.
