With new TV shows and streaming services constantly being released, many viewers find themselves watching several episodes of a series in one sitting or binge-watching. You start episode one of Squid Games on Netflix, and the next thing you know you’ve spent more than 8 hours watching the entire season. You start the first episode of Outer Banks, and two days later you’ve watched all 989 minutes, or 16.5 hours, of the series. At the end of a series, some viewers are left feeling fulfilled, while others feel empty. However you feel, most viewers are likely to keep binge-watching.

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.

Presented through the imagery of a young thirteen-year-old girl suddenly transforming into a giant red panda anytime she feels strong emotions, Pixar has developed a brand new narrative in “Turning Red” that explores a topic which audiences have not seen presented in animated films in as vibrant a fashion as this: Puberty. The main character, Meilin (Mei) Lee is torn between exploring a real teenage lifestyle with her friend or honoring her mother. The film does an excellent job of exhibiting Mei’s utmost respect and love for her mom while also revealing the desires she has for boy bands, crushes and having close friends. While putting the mind of a developing thirteen-year-old girl at the forefront is a prodigious action taken by the animated film industry, there are several other refreshing themes throughout “Turning Red” that are worth the recognition.

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.

"You dress gay," a stranger observes, her eyes following every inch of my straight, opposite-sex-loving body until they reach my six-inch heels.

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.

As the days get shorter and the nights get longer, many students find themselves losing motivation and being burnt-out by the pressures of college. Historically, the end of the semester is characterized by arduous final exams, culminating projects and hours spent in T-Coop. All of this, in addition to setting our clocks to “fall back” for Daylight Savings, can leave many students feeling the “winter blues.”

Native Americans are not hidden away on reservations in the west. They’re interlaced into our demographics and an integral part of our history and culture as a country. You may be surprised to learn that although the Catawba is the only federally recognized tribe in South Carolina, there are nine state-recognized tribes and at least six state-recognized groups or organizations too.

As the fall season kicks in, that means Halloween is just around the corner. People are starting to set up their haunted houses, curate their spookiest costumes and come up with the best tricks to keep everyone on their toes. However, those aren’t the scariest things this season. For some, the most heart-pounding moment is when they’re serving a customer at their respective restaurants. Instances of horror in the food industry could be the looks they get from a judgmental “Karen” whenever they get their order wrong, seeing that a family of five didn’t leave a tip on a table and the worst of them all: having to tell someone that no, they don’t serve Sprite but they do in fact have Sierra Mist. For Halloween, instead of the usual stories about werewolves and vampires, four students at the University of South Carolina tell their most horrifying food industry stories.

From a young age, women all over the world are expected to shave, pluck and wax their body hair. This ideal is so ingrained into society that many don’t see the unfair double standard and sexist implications. While the movement to reject this standard began with second-wave feminism, women are still burdened today with one question: to shave or not to shave?

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.

Everyone is familiar with the idea of coming out of the closet. Telling your family and your friends you’re lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and hoping that those you love will accept you for who you are. It’s a stressful and honestly terrifying experience for many, especially in places like South Carolina where the concept of homosexuality or any divergence from the heterosexual norm is often met with anger and hatred from loved ones. But the world is slowly becoming more accepting of everyone for their sexuality, and it’s a wonderful thing that one day we’ll have a society where no one is harmed for who they love. No one should have to deal with bigotry for their love, and the push for equality is something all should work for.
