“The Happiest Day” Episode 1 - Pilot: We began this season on June 19th. We were introduced to a colorful cast of new characters, from backgrounds vastly different to our own. Getting to know one another through Quad kickball, dining hall soft serve, and cheesy Area I ice breakers, a community formed — one of growth and grit, even in the face of adversity. Episode 2 - The Smoke Clears: Through the fire and flames, we found new friends and families. Some of us even found bandmates! At open mics and poetry readings, many of us were able to express ourselves like never before. The growing community embraced our vulnerability as we discovered ourselves and showcased our talents. Episode 3 - TACs Got Talent: On week three, we discovered that we definitely weren’t the only ones with talent as our favorite TACs stepped up to the mic. Their most astounding talent, however, was receiving our DoorDash orders despite the pouring rain. When they weren’t dashing, they were keeping the community dry by hosting an abundance of illuminating electives, including: daytime dance fitness, midday movies, and board game nights. Episode 4 - Finale: Upon arrival, each of us were the main characters in our own stories. Through these four weeks, we have learned how to be 391 characters in one greater story. As this season comes to a close we are infinitely grateful for the memories we’ve made together and the ones yet to come. Directors and Producers:: Ava Thomas, Kiran Manikumar, and Neah Trempe

“Upon arrival at GSE Social Science, a group of North Carolina’s most ambitious future politicians are disappointed to learn that Governor’s School is not a course on how to become the state’s governor. Still reeling from this catastrophe, they are confronted with an entirely too in-depth discussion of cow anatomy, the realization that they may be experiencing Stockholm Syndrome, and a seemingly endless series of reminders to, EPISODES for the love of God, make their cornerstone presentations interactive. Watch as Bill Velto (played by a stack of three kids wearing a trenchcoat and a Yankees hat), Kevin Ferris, and Bernard Baze challenge North Carolina’s finest young minds to reflect on topics ranging from voter suppression to social identity theory, Irish reunification to athletic inequities. Bonus episodes include lessons taught by TACs and Governor’s School alumni Yuhan Liu and Annabelle Webb, sparking hope among students that they may indeed still have career prospects after a summer of udder chaos at GSE 2022.” - Jude Reece

-“Though being able to complete and present my cornerstone project to everyone was exciting, I have enjoyed the creative process! This project was also very memorable; not only was I able to actively immerse myself in Latin culture by learning the Bachata, but I was able to demonstrate my knowledge by teaching it to a student who’s area 1 is dance. I am glad that I was able to work with other areas other than mine to create a presentation for others to enjoy and learn from.” - Teodora Sorescu

“Area II has taught me that my work is loving the world.” - Neah Trempe “I thoroughly enjoyed my Area III class. I was able to dive into a level of self-exploration that I had yet to explore, and both my peers and teacher were nothing but supportive. I also enjoyed the collaborative aspect of the class. We often spent class time discussing worldwide issues, and hearing the opinions of my classmates was very interesting. Overall, Area III was incredible and I am going to miss it!” - Meredith Beatty
