CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Both the University and the town of Chapel Hill are operating under emergency conditions Friday due to a water shortage.

According to an alert sent out by Alert Carolina around 12:15 p.m., the campus water supplier, Orange Water and Sewer Authority, warned that the water supply was critically low.

Students were instructed not to drink or use water on campus until further notice.

At 1:09 p.m., Alert Carolina announced the University was immediately canceling classes because of fire safety concerns.

The University is currently operating under Condition 3, which means all non-mandatory operations are temporarily suspended -- offices and facilities are closed and classes are canceled for the rest of the day.

Ram's Head Dining Hall is currently operating under normal conditions. Campus residence hall officials advise that students leave campus for the weekend if possible.

Updates on the water crisis can be found on the official OWASA website.

And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
