Why Michael Scott Wants You To Sign Up for Dance Marathon
Cassi Pinyan

If you’ve been on UNC’s campus for at least a day you’ve probably heard people yelling all around campus about signing up for the Carolina for the Kids 24 hour Dance Marathon. There are a million reasons I think you should sign up to dance for this incredible cause but I’m not nearly as brilliant at making speeches as the great Michael Scott, so we’ll let him tell you why you should sign up For The Kids!

As college students, we are loaded with classes, midterms, papers, and reading-sometimes you just need a little dance therapy to get all of that pent up anxiety and stress out. We all know that Michael Scott loves dancing and he loves it when you dance too. Come dance out all of the stress, eat (a lot) of delicious food, and all while supporting some incredibly kids! COME DANCE NOW.

No one can fight the urge to dance when Queen B comes on (don’t lie). Come channel your inner Beyoncé/Michael Scott combo at the marathon and show off your booty shake.

IT’S ALL FOR THE KIDS! Everything we do, every email we send, every hour of our time invested into this marathon is For The Kids and their families. Michael loves kids and has an interesting view of how they could take over the government. Come make kids feel as special and loved as Michael makes Holly feel (maybe not quite that much).

In college, we never feel like we have our lives together or like we are good at much. Sometimes I go several days (re: weeks) in a row, just taking one L after the other. The great thing about the marathon is that you can come be the BOSS at dancing, even if dance like Michael. Go for it and have fun!

If you’re anything like me, people will tell you that there is no possible way you can stand up for 24 hours straight but PROVE THEM WRONG because YOU CAN DO THIS. The marathon is a great way to make new friends, learn what you’re body is actually capable of doing, and checking off a big part of the UNC Bucket List. Do that marathon manager-style and next time those haters will definitely estimate you.

Michael has given you his reasons for why you should sign up for Dance Marathon and we would love to have you! Dwight Schrute slow clap for everyone that has already signed up (means a lot coming from Dwight). For those of you that haven’t, there is still time! Sign up to dance by Friday, October 7th at 8:30pm!

Michael and the rest of Dunder Mifflin are so excited that so many people are dedicating their time to stand For The Kids!

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.

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.
