10 Reasons Why You Should Be Happy Basketball Season Is Back!

So we all love football because of the tailgates and cute game day attire, but when you go to a school like UNC, basketball season is the best time of year. Here are a couple of reasons why we should all be thankful it’s finally basketball season!   

1. Roy’s crazy blazers
Would Coach Williams really be Coach Williams without his wild game day blazers with a hint of Carolina blue?


2. Insane dunks
High flying slam dunks are what makes basketball so entertaining. With players like J.P. Tokoto and Theo Pinson on the roster we are sure to have some epic dunks this season.


3. The Dean Dome
With a maximum capacity of 21,750 there is no better place to watch college basketball. 


4. The many faces of Joel James
If your ever looking for a good laugh during a game, look for Joel and more than likely he will be making a hilarious face that will for sure make you smile.


5. March Madness
Oh what would March be without the NCAA tournament. Especially for Carolina fans, March is a time full winning national titles and cutting down nets. 


6. The Duke vs. UNC game
There is no rivalry better than Duke and UNC, so when we play against each other in any sport it is always intense, especially in basketball. And when we win there is no better celebration than rushing Franklin Street.


7. Marcus Clutch Paige
Marcus literally put the team on his back numerous times last year, so long story short "In Marcus We Trust."


8. The adorable ball boys
Not only do they have the best seats in the house, but the ball boys are just too precious not to talk about.


9. The risers
If you are one of the lucky and dedicated students to literally win the lottery, standing in the risers is an experience unlike any other.


10. The tradition of excellence
Dean Smith and Michael Jordan, enough said.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
