14 Reasons I'm Hype As Heck To Be Back At UNC-Chapel Hill

Ashley Broadwater

While I'm sure there are students who dread the upcoming semester and want to stay at home as long as they can, I am not one of those people. I love being in Chapel Hill so much because of the people, food, experiences and more. I'm currently counting down the days until I can get back to my home!

1. Being able to see and hang out with my hilarious and compassionate friends (not all pictured).

The games, the late nights at Davis Library and second dinners we share make me so happy.

2. My campus ministry, Wesley, and our space, the Loft.

Conveniently located on Franklin Street, the Loft is the perfect place to hang out with my favorite people, eat snacks and watch the Duke basketball game.

3. Playing intramural volleyball with Wesley.

We may have lost in the playoffs, but we laughed a lot and are ready to win this coming semester!

4. Getting back into the groove of things — while I love free time, I also love a schedule.

My whole life is in this one planner, so if I lose it... big yikes.

5. Involving myself again in my different organizations and advocacy work, as well as the community I've found there.

Increasing others' body positivity with body positive friends? Yes please!

6. Joining (or re-joining) new organizations (though my friends will probably get mad at me for joining yet another one...oops).

I'm excited to get involved again with Coulture, a school magazine I modeled for a few years ago — and wow, did I need some work — as well as a feminist magazine on campus named Siren!

7. Two words: BASKETBALL SEASON.

I still can't believe how lucky and blessed I was to be at a school that won the national championship my first year of college. Welcome to Carolina!

8. I'm 100% sure Healthy Bowl is coming back, which I'll probably alternate with Med Deli's curry apple orzo.

You haven't lived until you've had the barbecue burrito bowl. Just sayin'.

9. Seeing the kids, teenagers and "capital A Adults" I work with.

I love working at University United Methodist Church so much: the people are amazing and the work is enjoyable!

10. New classes -- sorta.

While exams can be stressful, there's always that class or two in which you're hoisted up in the air by a bunch of guys.

11. Full freedom and independence.

It's my first academic year living off campus, and I love it! I love my housemates here as well as our other housemate, Hope, and our upcoming housemate for this semester, Mallory!

12. The walking allergies (aka dogs) that I can't help but love.

SO MANY DOGS. So many allergies but also SO MANY DOGS.

13. Zumba-ing between classes and club meetings!

Yes, the one in the blue shirt and Nike shorts is me!

14. Reconnecting with friends I didn't get to see much last semester (also not all pictured below)!

Our friendship started off after an Embody meeting and Facebook Messenger chat. Now we're great friends!

I have been so incredibly blessed to have had such a great college experience despite the challenges I have faced during it. I can't believe (and don't want to think about) how I only have 1.5 years left!

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Saint Joseph's University

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Fibonacci Sequence Examples: 7 Beautiful Instances In Nature

Nature is beautiful (and so is math). The last one will blow your mind.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
