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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
