So it's summertime. Maybe you're a current Tar Heel. Or a future Tar Heel. Or even a Tar Heel alum. Whatever your case may be, we're all looking for new things for us to add to our wardrobe to show off some Tar Heel pride. No matter if you were Tar Heel born or Tar Heel bred, you can show off your school spirit with these awesome items!

1. Essie Nail Polish in "Bikini So Teeny"

After a long search and approximately 12 different shades of light blue nail polish later, the verdict is in: Essie's "Bikini So Teeny" is the PERFECT shade of Carolina blue. This nail polish has been tried and proven true by the ladies of UNC-Chapel Hill's Odyssey team.

2. White Vans or Converse High Tops

Every girl you know has these and they're everywhere. These shoes are comfortable, trendy, and easy to put on in the morning when you're rushing to catch the bus to your 8a.m. class.

3. 2017 Men's Basketball National Championship T-Shirt

It's a workout shirt, pajama shirt, and even a "wear to class with norts" shirt. Every Carolina girl has one and if she doesn't have this exact one, she has a Final Four T-Shirt.

4. UNC Lanyard, Keychain, or Key Fob

A majority of students have one of these. They're super convenient! After one week of keeping my keys on a lanyard — you could tell I was obviously a First Year with no clue that you DON'T wear your keys around your neck — I started to use my lanyard to hold all of the free buttons I accumulated from attending different Carolina events!

5. Carolina Blue Heels

I bought these for my high school graduation because: A) they were Carolina Blue and I was psyched to be a Tar Heel and B) they were on sale at DSW. Every time I've worn them on campus, I've received compliments and tend to get the questioned, "Where are those from!?" With these heels, you too can be the talk of the town with your Tar Heel pride.

These super cute ones are on sale at DSW right now!

6. UNC Logo Alex and Ani Bracelet

I get it, it's basic. But this was my favorite gift when I graduated high school (and still through my first year). And I got multiple. They're just so fun, simple and an easy score for a birthday gift for your roommate or friends!

7. UNC Vera Bradley Tote Bag

I love Vera Bradley. I have two of her duffel bags and received the large UNC tote for my birthday and it's amazing! I used it to carry a blanket to lay on at Polk Place while I did homework and later on during finals week it carried my notebooks, Macbook, chargers, bluebooks and other study materials to study sessions and final exams.

8. Carolina Blue Swimsuit

It's not quite Carolina blue, but I bought this Southern Tide swimsuit this summer and it's so cute and comfortable! I feel like seersucker should so count in this category, especially with how close the blue is to Carolina blue!

If you're online shopping this summer and looking for something new, these 8 things are waiting to join your closet!

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
