It was March 15, 2019, and I was beyond excited to have been accepted into the University of Georgia, which was one of my top schools I applied to. Fast forward to the end of April, and I chose to go to UGA for the next four years.

Since kindergarten, we have all waited year-round for those special two or three months of freedom. But if years of watching “Phineas and Ferb” has taught me anything, it’s that ‘the annual problem for our generation is finding a good way to spend it.’ To get some ideas, The Red & Black asked students how they plan to spend summer break.

Doctors don’t fully know the effects that such exposure could cause and have not been able to clear confusion among East Palestine residents. Imagine the absolute terror that has been unleashed on this community. What is the overwhelming response from officials? That there’s nothing to be afraid of since Environmental Protection Agency testing found that the air and water quality are safe, but some other experts are questioning the credibility of this data.

Currently, parking is run by Auxiliary Services, which is not funded by the state of Georgia. It is not funded by the state of Georgia, because the University System of Georgia does not believe that parking on campus is a necessary function at UGA. In turn, Auxiliary Services charges everyone that park on campus to pay based solely off of location, without holding themselves to the same standards of conduct that UGA holds its students to: wisdom, justice and moderation.

As a community, it is important to expand the idea of engagement to the entire world. Diseases can spread from country to country and affect people disproportionately. Therefore, efforts to reduce outbreaks of infectious disease must always be a major concern.

When it comes to football, nobody can deny that the Dawgs are on top. But when it comes to tackling climate change, the University of Georgia is not a national champion. While UGA claims to be working towards the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals to address climate change, it has…

The fact that Trump’s indictment came from hush money is almost ironic since it’s a part of his “not-so-bad” offenses. Still, this indictment represents consequences for Trump’s improper actions, which he has escaped time and time again. This will serve a powerful representation — that no one, no matter how powerful or wealthy, is above the law.

Being transgender right now feels like being a canary in a coal mine. I’ll die before I let anyone force me to be something I’m not. My life is my own, and my body is my own. I have the right to live authentically and be happy. I’m prepared to go down singing. If they silence me, who will take up my song? Will you?

While some dining halls like Bolton provide QR codes for some dishes, I propose that the nutrients and contents of all the meals served in any of the dining halls be provided to students by any means necessary, out of safety and convenience for the students. The Red & Black asked students about their personal dining hall experiences and whether they think displaying nutritional content information in dining halls is viable and effective.

I stared blankly at the judge while fidgeting with my fingers. He slid the paperwork back across the table to me and motioned for me to leave. I stood, gathered my things and walked out. I greeted my father in the lobby, crying. A seven-month-long investigation equated to a hasty decision in less than five minutes. I was heartbroken.

For many years, three tennis courts and a couple basketball courts have stood next to the West Campus Parking Deck. Athletic spaces like these are important because they encourage exercise as well as help students meet and create a sense of community.

Former President Donald Trump was indicted by a New York City grand jury on March 30, becoming the first former president to face criminal charges. While the exact charges are unknown due to being sealed, Trump allegedly faces more than 30 counts related to document fraud, according to NBC. …

This proposed facility is a far cry from the most basic demands of BLM — police training in de-escalation tactics, racial bias and sensitivity. If constructed, Cop City will be larger than any other similar facility proposed by the Atlanta Police Foundation, and the dangers of police militarization extend past Atlanta to cities across the U.S. that may use the facility or construct their own. Atlanta is, in effect, the guinea pig determining whether other cities and countries will build similar unwanted police training centers.

News flash — college students like myself are not trying to ruin America — and even if we did, we would probably be too tired to do so. Not only do we all have our own personal struggles, we are also faced with a growing culture that is anti-learning, anti-respect and anti-human.

It’s easy to dismiss the Okefenokee Swamp since it’s not in our backyard. It’s just far enough out of sight, tucked away in the deep South where it can be easily kept out of mind. But this is not just a regional issue, this is not just a Georgia issue even, the protection of the Okefenokee is something people globally should be rallying behind because if they ruin the swamp — what’s next?
