The Netflix revival of "Queer Eye" had potential viewers feeling a little hesitant. The original show aired from 2003-2007 with the title of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" where five gay men made over the lives of boring, straight men. This made many fear that the Netflix 2018 version would be full of flamboyant gay stereotypes and stereotypes of straight men as well.

A USC assistant professor and her students are helping to shape the country's response to a nationwide addiction crisis with a new study published in the Health Affairs Journal after studying Medicaid and its provisions for addiction treatment.
This summer I've taken it upon myself to re-watch "Glee" on Netflix. I remember watching the show in middle and high school and thinking it was funny and enjoying some of their covers of popular songs. Re-watching it has been fun, and I'm realizing the show is a lot sillier than I remembered. However, I noticed something really important and frankly, troubling.
If you've checked your student email account in the last few weeks – it’s summer break, so you probably didn’t – and happened to peek into your “Clutter” inbox, you were greeted by a little email from Student Health Services. When I first saw the email myself, I was puzzled, and the opening line seemed to echo my confusion. “What is happening?", it said in an unnecessarily bold font.
The University of South Carolina Division of Law Enforcement and Safety taught professors and staff how to correctly respond to an on-campus active shooter in a workshop Wednesday.
The University of South Carolina was recently awarded the Active Minds Healthy Campus Award in recognition of their work on mental health. This honor is shared by only seven other universities nationwide, and commemorates colleges that take their students’ health to heart.
When was the last time you did the long scroll through social media and found yourself wasting an hour or two with nothing to show for it? I’m guessing not too long ago. It’s not a secret that the world is addicted to social media, but there are unseen effects of social media that are harming our mental health. Social media is relatively new, so studies are limited on its overall effects. However, the studies that are out — along with common sense — tell us that it might be a good idea to take breaks from social media for self- preservation.
Students often report experiencing stress throughout the academic year, and some say exams could be responsible for heightening that stress. However, not all students feel stressed during exam periods, and it’s not only students that experience stress — professors can, too.
The Daily Gamecock took home 25 South Carolina Press Association awards Friday, including a third place finish in the General Excellence category.
I have a Bible on my bookshelf, but I never open it. I pray sometimes, but I don't believe in God. In ninth grade, I became a churchgoer after being raised with no particular faith, and I decided to get baptized. In the six years since then, I've gone to church sporadically, only ever with friends or on a special occasion. I identify as agnostic and love talking about all sorts of different religions, from Christianity to Confucianism.
Social Media Editor Gillian Muñoz and Opinion Editor Dan Nelson argue that social media, despite its immense popularity, has unforeseen consequences for both the individual and the world.
Bike share programs have become a part of the modern urban community. Both Greenville and Charleston maintain a bike share program that allows anyone to affordably rent a bike for a short period of time for fitness and transportation. Columbia has tried to get a bike share program since 2015, and now it seems that the goal will become reality by September.
When I think of food, I think of Thanksgiving, of gathering around a table heaped with a feast that will feed my family for the next three days. I think of making zucchini bread, veggie quesadillas, smoothies and avocado toast. I also think of guilt over finishing a whole box of Annie's mac and cheese, or an entire medium pizza from Domino's or a mostly full carton of ice cream in one sitting. Or even over having a brownie during a day or week that I didn't run.
When the average person thinks about video games, his or her mind may go in many directions, with the majority of them involving explosions, mushroom-based power-ups or plasma grenades. It’s likely that improving mental health isn’t something that immediately comes to mind. This week, Student Health Services is looking to change that.
