The 25 Rules Of UNC

Hail to UNC!

The 25 Rules Of UNC
pinimg.com

Everything has those unsaid rules that everyone just "knows." Colleges are no exception to this rule but UNC's unsaid rules are pretty special, especially to all of us Tar Heels. And following them could save your life and make your college career even better!

1. Duke is our number one enemy. There is no denying it. If you don't agree then you are at the wrong school.

2. We don't care about State that much but we still like to beat them. No, we love to beat them.

3. Don't worry about what is in the Pit. You probably won't understand some of it but then again, who really does understand everything that happens in the pit. Maybe Gary knows what's going on?

4. The Pit is a no judgment zone. You may not understand what's going on but do not judge. Just don't.

5. Do not ask anyone who attended UNC in 2015 or before what the Daily Grind is...

...unless you are prepared for a public meltdown over it closing.

6. Beware of bikes.

They will try to run you down. And you must be the one to get out of the way. The bikes will go their way whether you are in the way or not.

7. Always sip from the Old Well on FDOC.

Just do it. Follow tradition.

8. Selfies with Rameses are perfectly acceptable.

9. And selfies with Chancellor Folt are a must.

Get the chance to take a selfie with the best Chancellor around?! You better take it!

10. If you are driving, beware of pedestrians.

We will walk out in front of your car.

11. If you are walking, beware of cars.

We will try to persist on our drive without stopping for you pedestrians.

12. Don't burn popcorn in the microwave.

It's 2 a.m. Nobody wants to get out of bed for the fire alarm. Please, for the love of everyone, learn to make popcorn before coming to college.

13. Learn to cook something other than popcorn.

It will save you when you don't want the mystery food at the dining hall.

14. But always take multiple dining hall cookies.

Some of the food might be a mystery but the cookies are definitely not a mystery. Just pure goodness.

15. If you see a dog on campus you should absolutely go up to it and love it like it's your own.

This is 120 percent acceptable in college.

16. Make friends with upperclassmen.

They may not know what they're doing with their life but they definitely know how to ~college~

17. Go to every possible football game.

And basketball game. Okay. Just go to every possible sporting event.

18. Don't be passive aggressive to your roommate.

If you have an issue confront her. Don't avoid it. And don't let her avoid it. It will just go downhill.

19. After a certain time, the P2P requires a no judgment mindset.

Just don't ask questions. And don't make assumptions.

20. Lanyards are a no-no.

It's not middle school or high school.

21. Don't fear LDOC.

You made it to LDOC. That's an accomplishment. Celebrate it.

22. You may not be a Tar Heel Born; you may not be a Tar Heel Breed; now you are definitely a Tar Heel Dead.

23. It's always a GDTBATH.

Learn what this means. Before you come to Carolina.

24. When you hear "Hark the Sound" you sing along.

Even if you don't know anyone around you.

25. Roy Williams is always right.

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
