11 Places That You Can Hide On UNC's Campus When Finals Season Really Starts Sneaking Up On You
Alexis Byrd

In This Article:

Is it just now hitting you that LDOC is upon us? Are you only just now realizing that LDOC means the impending doom of finals season? Don't worry, Tar Heels, there is a way out.

I have taken it upon myself to scope out campus and find the absolute best, most indiscernible locations on campus. It's like a big game of hide-and-seek — except finals season will never, ever find you!

1. By the Old Well.

Alexis Byrd

I mean, the Old Well owes you since you went there on FDOC and still don't have a 4.0.

2. Behind a column somewhere.

Alexis Byrd

On this campus, there are plenty to choose from. Go crazy!

3. Behind one of those really thin trees between Memorial and Phillips.

Alexis Byrd

Believe me, you'll be totally invisible. Completely camouflaged.

4. In the stacks.

Alexis Byrd

Davis 8th floor. Trust me, finals would never dare interrupt such an intense study location.

5. That one fountain.

Alexis Byrd

You know the one. Your finals will presumably be administered via paper or laptop, and you know what both of those are afraid of? Water.

6. Behind the ~spider~.

Alexis Byrd

Finals season probably has arachnophobia. I mean, don't we all? Thanks for bringing such a fearsome protector to campus, Carol.

7. Those benches near Steele.

Alexis Byrd

You don't even have to crouch or hide here. It is a peaceful, safe place. Finals wouldn't dare.

8. Some staircase in Wilson.

Alexis Byrd

You know, just any of them. I'm intimidated by Wilson, so maybe finals will be, too.

9. Behind those eye seats or whatever.

Alexis Byrd

That way finals can't see you, haha. Ha.

10. Behind a recycling bin.

Alexis Byrd

Avoid academic responsibilities and promote recycling at the same time. Win-win.

11. In your lofted bed.

Alexis Byrd

There's no better way to escape all your other obligations than to curl up and sleep. It's what you'd do any other day, right? Plus, finals can't get you as long as your feet are under the blanket. That's how it works.

But really, though—good luck, fellow kids. Don't forget to bring an extra scantron or blue book, and for the love of all things UNC, bring your OneCard (just in case).

Just think—it's finals season now, but soon it'll be *whispers in "High School Musical"* summer, summer, summer.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
