15 Things Every UNC Charlotte Student Is Guilty Of
UNCC Advising Center

With over 28,000 students enrolled at UNC Charlotte, you would expect every student to have a completely different experience during their four (or five) years as an undergraduate. But if you're a true 49er, you should be guilty of all of the following...

1. You've been to a tailgate without ever actually attending a game.

Everyone simultaneously evaporates into thin air. Nowhere to be found.

2. You've walked into Peet's or Starbucks for a coffee and left because the line didn't move at all.

There's actually a freshman in Fretwell right now waiting for a coffee he ordered on the first day of class.

3. You've been harassed by a goose.

UNC Charlotte Demographic: 24 percent female, 32 percent male, 44 percent geese.

4. You've cancelled plans with your friends to avoid North Tryon traffic.

1.2 miles away. 45 minute drive.

5. You've ordered an Avalanche at Pelican's.

Okay, maybe this was just me.

6. You've had to drop a class because you couldn't figure out what language your professor was speaking.

A Russian dictionary might as well be required reading for the course.

7. You've successfully avoided the 'Freshman 15' thanks to all of the stairs you're forced to walk every day.

Every day is leg day.

8. You've had Jimmy John's delivered to Atkins countless times.

You know that your total with delivery and tax is $8.39 exactly. And it's worth every penny.

9. You've suffered serious digestive issues from eating at Crown.

"I can't come to the library tonight. I'm......uh......sick."

10. You've taken a snapchat of the Belk Tower preachers attempting to convert everyone to Christianity.

Have you ever been told that you're damned to hell and on a path of complete self destruction by a man you just met six seconds ago? We have!

RIP Belk Tower

11. You've spent hours looking for your classroom in Colvard.

Who is responsible for the design of this building? We all have some serious questions for you.

12. You've stood in line for an hour to return/sell back your textbooks.

*Waits for an hour and gets $6 back*

13. You've skipped a class because you couldn't find a parking spot.

This must be a sign from the universe to go home and take a nap.

14. You've had to skip lunch because Bojangles ran out of chicken.

You had one job.

15. You've spent the last three semesters trying to register for that one last class you need to finally declare your major.

I'll just change my major. That sounds easier.

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.

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.

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.
