Bird is the word: Yardbird Kitchen offers healthy, diverse cuisine made with local ingredients

By Katy Canada

The funky vibes of Yardbird Kitchen on South Church Street will hit you square in the face the second you open the door and smell sweet pastries baking in the back. From the offbeat pictures hanging on the walls to the Edison chandelier in the back corner, the atmosphere of this new restaurant is bringing something original to the Burlington restaurant scene. There is no shortage of restaurants in Burlington, but many of them are large fast food chains that do not offer diverse options.

Anonymous Elon Twitter accounts: #stereotypical

By The Pendulum

Who doesn’t love a shout-out from @ElonGDIProblems addressing Jesus as “Everyone’s favorite GDI”? There are tons of anonymous Twitter accounts focused on Elon University’s campus culture, and, let’s face it, they’re witty and entertaining and we probably scroll a little slower when a tweet from @ElonConfessions appears on our feed. Last month, @Elon_Black_Prob tweeted, “Just because the professor mentioned diversity doesn’t mean you all stop writing typing and texting to look at the lone black person.” Two weeks ago, @TheElonGay tweeted, “Stop what you’re doing and go pet the cats/bunnies/puppies outside Moseley!

Elon's Alpha Psi Omega produces Shakespeare’s plays with a hilarious twist

By Jessica Petrocchi

Plays with the word “Shakespeare” in the title typically scare students away, but the acting students in Elon University’s theatre honor society, Alpha Psi Omega, put a humorous spin on the classic Shakespeare plays with “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged).” “It’s one of the funniest shows I’ve ever done,” said Sean Liang, a senior BFA acting major.

The Last Word: The war on pollen

By Jonathan Black

Every morning I awaken, and in the confusion between trying to turn an alarm off with an arm that fell asleep and wondering what day it is,  I remember the war that is consuming my life. The enemy is everywhere, and like Antoine “Bed Intruder” Dodson, I am on the constant lookout for it to climb into my bed. The enemy is pollen. And like Harry Potter, Katniss Everdeen and any other young adult novel hero not including dead-eyed Bella Swan, I am looking to vanquish my mortal enemy. But unlike Harry Potter, I am without my support system and am calling on Elon students to apply for the positions of intelligent, and trustworthy female sidekick and useless, blubbering male best friend. Without my sidekick Hermione Granger, how will I ever learn to finish homework and vanquish evil, all the while maintaining a healthy social life? As for my Ron Weasley counterpart… well, Ron is pretty useless and abandoned his friend one too many times.  I can’t have a friend of mine abandoning me when I reach stardom shortly into my post-college career.

Elon University students prepare for internship, job searches

From freshmen starting to navigate the professional world to seniors preparing for post-graduate opportunities, understanding how to navigate the application process can make all the difference in landing an internship. “That doesn’t mean they need to start seeking out an internship right away,” Amber Moser, director of internships in the School of Communications, said. “Planning for it and researching and putting the pieces in place to be successful in your first year is really beneficial, particularly if students are double majoring, depending on the kind of double major they have.”
