Grasses, Flowers, and Plants, Oh My!

(09/30/21 12:00pm)

Plants. Green plants, tall plants, poisonous plants, carnivorous plants, flowering plants. Our world, our country and our state is full of plants big and small, and they all come together to create the beautiful scenery we see everyday. Arboretums get a lot of love for their beautiful collections of plants, all shown in their rawest, most beautiful form. But there’s another method of observing and conserving plant life, and that would be the University Herbarium, located in the Coker Life Sciences Building. Collections of plants from all over South Carolina and even the world are dried and pressed into sleeves for preservation and identification purposes. Since this is a place many people aren’t aware of, it seemed like a good idea to reach out to the curator of the herbarium himself, Dr. Herrick Brown, to show exactly what the herbarium does, what they hope to accomplish and what fun adventures await in the field of botany.

First-Generation Students Define Their Own Futures

(09/30/21 12:00pm)

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.

The Columbia City of Women Unveils Female Monument

(09/30/21 12:00pm)

The State House has long been a reminder of a past that most South Carolinians don’t want to be reminded of. Its memorialization of white confederate men, many of whom were segregationists, glorifies South Carolina’s historical injustice, while ignoring the women and people of color who continuously contribute to the state’s prosperity. The Columbia City of Women project aims to change that narrative.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Tattoo Artist

(09/19/21 12:00pm)

Situated between Flora’s African Hair Braiding and The Music Store sits one of the oldest and most renowned tattoo shops in Columbia: Devine Street Tattoo. The black columns, bunted American flags in the windows and a vertical T-A-T-T-O-O sign are welcoming and recognizable as a shop steeped in tradition. Inside, I was greeted with a wall covered with painted flash sheets and comfortable couches.

Improving a Classic

(09/16/21 12:00pm)

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.

Just a Little Prick

(04/08/21 12:00pm)

When the FDA approved the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccination for public use in December of 2020, there was a sigh of relief felt around the country and the world. Soon after its release, both Moderna and Johnson & Johnson released similar vaccines. Now, in March 2021, these vaccines are finally becoming more accessible to the general public, beyond essential workers and those with pre-existing conditions. With around 14% of the population vaccinated in late March 2021, things are starting to look up. Even though students on campus have begun getting vaccinated, not every student is jumping in line to get their shot next. However, some are committed to getting involved in the vaccination process.

Art for the People: 5 Local Murals and the Artists Behind Them

(06/11/21 12:00pm)

Murals are a unique art form. They're intrinsically public, must work with the given architecture and are inherently community-oriented. While they are not often treated with the same legitimacy as studio or gallery work, murals can be a vital part of cultural enrichment for a local community. Art seldom exists in a vacuum, but rather is surrounded by stories just waiting to be told.
