Songs That Will Make You Nostalgic For Carolina

The time is right around the corner: the glorious moment of finally returning to our beloved UNC. In just a few short weeks, I will be back in the land of Carolina Blue and Tar Heel pride and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve had Carolina on my mind more often recently and I have been listening to certain songs, which make my nostalgia for this University that much greater. Here are a list of some of the best songs to get yourself into that Carolina state of mind.

"Carolina Can"- Chase Rice

There’s something about this Carolina alum that highlights all the good things UNC has to offer. Add the fact he shot parts of his video around campus and you have a spine-shivering wave of nostalgia.

"Carolina in My Mind"- James Taylor

A classic and familiar tune on campus that needs no explanation as to why it’s one of the greatest songs of all time.

"Wagon Wheel"- Old Crow Medicine Show (or Darius Rucker's remake. Both are acceptable)

The amount of times I’ve belted out this song, in public and private, is uncountable. It always leaves me yearning for the land of the pines.

"Carolina Girls"- General Johnson and the Chairman of the Board

Carolina Girls? The best in the world.

"Carolina Girl"- Bobby Kendall

This up-and-coming artist manages to capture the fun and excitement of Chapel Hill in this country song. I also can't help but sing-shout the line "She's a Tar Heel, she's an angel," every time.

"Carolina"- Eric Church

Country music loves North Carolina and I always feel Carolina calling me home whenever I listen to this song.

"Carolina in the Morning"- Al Jolson

This 1947 classic shows that the love for Carolina has been around for generations. Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina, indeed.

"Carolina"- Corey Smith

This breezy tune embodies all the adventure and memories Carolina has to offer.

As always, it’s a GDTBATH and GTHD!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
