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've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

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.
