CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Today was a nondescript day. I went to the gym, got lunch, went to class.

However, as I was preparing to head back to the dorm, I decided to check my email.

And that's when I saw it -- that beautiful email that all UNC-Chapel Hill students know too well. It's the email that sends your heart fluttering. It's the email that promises you will receive.

"Housing and Residential Education. Morrison Package Center - DO NOT REPLY."

Excitedly, I headed to Morrison to pick up my package. It was a bit confusing because I hadn't ordered anything recently, but I was still excited nonetheless. My family and close family friends have been known to send some great care packages, but I didn't want to get my hopes up. I eagerly chatted with my friend as we headed to the packaging center.

Upon getting there, I swiped my card and picked up a small styrofoam box. Confused, I headed back outside and make the trek to my dorm.

When I got in the lobby, I took my key to the thick tape and broke open the box.

I peeked inside and saw a handle. I grabbed the handle and took out a mug with an adorable print on it -- a quote from "Seasons of Love" (RENT) that says, "How do you measure a year?" I'm obsessed with it.

But every good story has to have some kind of conflict. So buckle up.

I have no idea who sent it to me.

The return address on the package is that of the manufacturer, so there's no way to tell who actually sent it.

Here are the known facts: The perpetrator knows my name, knows my dorm address, knows my room number, knows I love RENT, knows I love tea, and has good taste.

Other than that, I have sparse information. I called my brother and my mom, and both had no idea what I was talking about. I texted my best friend, who also sounded extremely confused.

So this is a call to action. If you have any leads regarding this story, please contact me! All I want is to give the perpetrator a huge hug and a big thank you.

At this time, the investigation is still ongoing.

Also, appreciate the small things. Whoever you are, this totally made my day.

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.

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.
