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.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
