The 25 Rules Of UNC

Hail to UNC!

The 25 Rules Of UNC
pinimg.com

Everything has those unsaid rules that everyone just "knows." Colleges are no exception to this rule but UNC's unsaid rules are pretty special, especially to all of us Tar Heels. And following them could save your life and make your college career even better!

1. Duke is our number one enemy. There is no denying it. If you don't agree then you are at the wrong school.

2. We don't care about State that much but we still like to beat them. No, we love to beat them.

3. Don't worry about what is in the Pit. You probably won't understand some of it but then again, who really does understand everything that happens in the pit. Maybe Gary knows what's going on?

4. The Pit is a no judgment zone. You may not understand what's going on but do not judge. Just don't.

5. Do not ask anyone who attended UNC in 2015 or before what the Daily Grind is...

...unless you are prepared for a public meltdown over it closing.

6. Beware of bikes.

They will try to run you down. And you must be the one to get out of the way. The bikes will go their way whether you are in the way or not.

7. Always sip from the Old Well on FDOC.

Just do it. Follow tradition.

8. Selfies with Rameses are perfectly acceptable.

9. And selfies with Chancellor Folt are a must.

Get the chance to take a selfie with the best Chancellor around?! You better take it!

10. If you are driving, beware of pedestrians.

We will walk out in front of your car.

11. If you are walking, beware of cars.

We will try to persist on our drive without stopping for you pedestrians.

12. Don't burn popcorn in the microwave.

It's 2 a.m. Nobody wants to get out of bed for the fire alarm. Please, for the love of everyone, learn to make popcorn before coming to college.

13. Learn to cook something other than popcorn.

It will save you when you don't want the mystery food at the dining hall.

14. But always take multiple dining hall cookies.

Some of the food might be a mystery but the cookies are definitely not a mystery. Just pure goodness.

15. If you see a dog on campus you should absolutely go up to it and love it like it's your own.

This is 120 percent acceptable in college.

16. Make friends with upperclassmen.

They may not know what they're doing with their life but they definitely know how to ~college~

17. Go to every possible football game.

And basketball game. Okay. Just go to every possible sporting event.

18. Don't be passive aggressive to your roommate.

If you have an issue confront her. Don't avoid it. And don't let her avoid it. It will just go downhill.

19. After a certain time, the P2P requires a no judgment mindset.

Just don't ask questions. And don't make assumptions.

20. Lanyards are a no-no.

It's not middle school or high school.

21. Don't fear LDOC.

You made it to LDOC. That's an accomplishment. Celebrate it.

22. You may not be a Tar Heel Born; you may not be a Tar Heel Breed; now you are definitely a Tar Heel Dead.

23. It's always a GDTBATH.

Learn what this means. Before you come to Carolina.

24. When you hear "Hark the Sound" you sing along.

Even if you don't know anyone around you.

25. Roy Williams is always right.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
