Rocio Malena Arguijo and Jorge Luis Garcia Escoto’s love story didn’t happen overnight. They first met at Wake Tech. Then they both transferred to UNC Charlotte and met again.

Expectations are part of our daily lives. Every day, both willingly, and sometimes unknowingly, we are constantly creating good and bad expectations. Most of the time, it is good to have some sort of expectation about life. Expectations not only push us toward our goals, but they assist us in formulating a future, especially when what’s ahead is unknown.

A gold picture frame hanging on the door, a yellow umbrella and a World’s Best Boss mug. These items defined a generation of television, what I would consider to be the “golden age” of situational comedies.

“I thought that would be the beginning of a larger, broader conversation for myself and it didn’t go that way,” said Thomas. “You hear about people who get signed and then you wonder what happened to them after that and I became one of those stories.” However, the music did not stop for Thomas, and he hopes his sixth album and newest project, “A Thousand Shades of Black,” will reintroduce people to his music while also celebrating diversity.

I never imagined I would get engaged in the middle of my college career. In May of 2019, I certainly did not think that I would come off a Disney Cruise as an engaged woman, but when my boyfriend of four years got down on one knee in front of a portrait of Cinderella’s Castle off the coast of Cuba, I said yes. I had been engaged for almost three months when I went back to school in the fall. The excitement, while still present, turned into something less blissful upon my return to UNC-Chapel Hill
