You Know You're a True Tar Heel Fan If...

Do You Bleed Carolina Blue?

You Know You're a True Tar Heel Fan If...

It's one thing to be a blue blood. It's another to bleed blue.

There are a number of reasons UNC fans are the best in the country. Here are a few.

  • You live for game day. The people. The excitement. That Carolina blue sky tops it all off.   
  • You tailgate like a champ. Fan preparation is one of the most important parts. Am I right, or am I right?   
  • B-skis, YoPo, He’s Not and Suttons are a pre and/or post game tradition. The Carolina game day experience would not be the same without a burger from Sutton's or a blue cup from He's Not Here.
  • Rushing Franklin Street feels like second nature. You were born for this. The energy runs through your veins. You never thought it was possible to feel so much love for this place, while simultaneously feeling so much hate for a place 8 miles down the road at the same time.   
  • You feel the flame burning in your chest when someone speaks of the Dookies a few miles away. You already know what I am going to say. These are the only words to truly get my point across. GO TO HELL DOOK.   
  • Some of your proudest moments have been singing the alma mater after a big game. Win or lose, we love this place and would not want to be anywhere else.   
  • Roy Williams is the love of your life. If you haven’t named your first-born son Roy, or at least your dog, are you even a Carolina fan?   
  • Win or lose, you support the Tar Heels no matter what. We mean it when we say the words, “I’m a Tar Heel born, I’m a Tar Heel bred, and when I die, I’m a Tar Heel dead.” This little city on a hill will always hold a special place in our hearts. W.T. Carmichael Jr. said it best when he said, "Down through all the years of your lives, wherever you may go, your heart will always beat just a bit faster when you hear the symphonic syllables: Chapel Hill."

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.

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.

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.
