A Letter To Whoever Lives In My Room Next

Take care of it for me.

A Letter To Whoever Lives In My Room Next
Author

Dear UNC20,

I don't know how many of y'all have chosen to live in Granville next year, but two of you will end up living in my old room. Take care of it. It holds some of my most favorite memories from freshman year. I slept in my soft, comfy bed after every rough day or long night out (you're going to need a mattress pad, though). I spread out on the floor to eat pizza or cry or watch movies with my best friends. I did my homework at that desk, and I got ready while I leaned towards that mirror over by the bathroom door. And let me tell you, it flew by. I'm taking a break from studying for finals right now, and I could never tell you where the time went this. It feels like it was yesterday that I was unpacking my boxes and crying while my parents left me here, in my little room in Granville Towers.

You'll make your own memories too. You'll decorate the room in your own color scheme. You'll hang out with your hallmates (maybe you'll get lucky and love them as much as I love mine). You'll go for dinner with your friends in the Ag, and you'll curse the construction that will be going on right outside your window. You will sleep in what once was my bed, and your clothes will be hung it was is now my closet. Don't let my little room forget how appreciated it is. Meanwhile, I will be making some new memories in a new apartment only a block away and hoping that I remember to treasure every year as much as I have treasured this one.

Good luck, little Tar Heel.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
