CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Today was a nondescript day. I went to the gym, got lunch, went to class.

However, as I was preparing to head back to the dorm, I decided to check my email.

And that's when I saw it -- that beautiful email that all UNC-Chapel Hill students know too well. It's the email that sends your heart fluttering. It's the email that promises you will receive.

"Housing and Residential Education. Morrison Package Center - DO NOT REPLY."

Excitedly, I headed to Morrison to pick up my package. It was a bit confusing because I hadn't ordered anything recently, but I was still excited nonetheless. My family and close family friends have been known to send some great care packages, but I didn't want to get my hopes up. I eagerly chatted with my friend as we headed to the packaging center.

Upon getting there, I swiped my card and picked up a small styrofoam box. Confused, I headed back outside and make the trek to my dorm.

When I got in the lobby, I took my key to the thick tape and broke open the box.

I peeked inside and saw a handle. I grabbed the handle and took out a mug with an adorable print on it -- a quote from "Seasons of Love" (RENT) that says, "How do you measure a year?" I'm obsessed with it.

But every good story has to have some kind of conflict. So buckle up.

I have no idea who sent it to me.

The return address on the package is that of the manufacturer, so there's no way to tell who actually sent it.

Here are the known facts: The perpetrator knows my name, knows my dorm address, knows my room number, knows I love RENT, knows I love tea, and has good taste.

Other than that, I have sparse information. I called my brother and my mom, and both had no idea what I was talking about. I texted my best friend, who also sounded extremely confused.

So this is a call to action. If you have any leads regarding this story, please contact me! All I want is to give the perpetrator a huge hug and a big thank you.

At this time, the investigation is still ongoing.

Also, appreciate the small things. Whoever you are, this totally made my day.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
