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.
