You Know You're a True Tar Heel Fan If...

Do You Bleed Carolina Blue?

You Know You're a True Tar Heel Fan If...

It's one thing to be a blue blood. It's another to bleed blue.

There are a number of reasons UNC fans are the best in the country. Here are a few.

  • You live for game day. The people. The excitement. That Carolina blue sky tops it all off.   
  • You tailgate like a champ. Fan preparation is one of the most important parts. Am I right, or am I right?   
  • B-skis, YoPo, He’s Not and Suttons are a pre and/or post game tradition. The Carolina game day experience would not be the same without a burger from Sutton's or a blue cup from He's Not Here.
  • Rushing Franklin Street feels like second nature. You were born for this. The energy runs through your veins. You never thought it was possible to feel so much love for this place, while simultaneously feeling so much hate for a place 8 miles down the road at the same time.   
  • You feel the flame burning in your chest when someone speaks of the Dookies a few miles away. You already know what I am going to say. These are the only words to truly get my point across. GO TO HELL DOOK.   
  • Some of your proudest moments have been singing the alma mater after a big game. Win or lose, we love this place and would not want to be anywhere else.   
  • Roy Williams is the love of your life. If you haven’t named your first-born son Roy, or at least your dog, are you even a Carolina fan?   
  • Win or lose, you support the Tar Heels no matter what. We mean it when we say the words, “I’m a Tar Heel born, I’m a Tar Heel bred, and when I die, I’m a Tar Heel dead.” This little city on a hill will always hold a special place in our hearts. W.T. Carmichael Jr. said it best when he said, "Down through all the years of your lives, wherever you may go, your heart will always beat just a bit faster when you hear the symphonic syllables: Chapel Hill."

15 Times "Parks and Recreation" Summed Up Your Library Experience

"I've only slept nine hours over the past four days, so I'm right on the verge of a nervous breakdown." - Leslie Knope

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

1. When you've finally found the energy to leave your dorm room and walk into the lib like

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
