UNC wins to Virginia Tech!!!!

Yep, it's true, we beat number 14 Virginia Tech. Need I say more? Well yes I do. The best part was being on South Campus after the game when everyone joined in singing the Alma mater. The craziest thing was we were all in unison. Everyone singing from their own dorms on South Campus. Talk about school spirit!!!! Being a tarheel "fan" is one thing but living the dream is another. Go Heels!!

UNC loses to Florida State

I guess the title pretty much explains it all. As I was watching the game with my family over fall break, I was so excited to see that the tarheels had such a big lead. I was confident but not over joyous. Suddenly Florida state came back. I literally blinked and the tarheels had 24, Florida state had 21. And that's when I could not watch the game any longer. I got a text later that night from a friend saying "Can you believe Carolina lost??!" Well yea. I guess I have to.
"I guess we got too happy when we were up 24-6," linebacker Kevin Reddick said. "We've just got to hold our composure and stay humble." Maybe they'll keep that attitude for the next game.

"Best Abortion Discussion Ever"

The abortion discussion that was recently held on the UNC campus cost approximately $9,675 with only about 138 people attending (much lower than expected). I've heard different opinions on this issue but I wanted to hear what you guys thought about these topics- the cost of this event and abortion in general.

5k Racing for a Reason- Girl on the Run!!

So today was my very first time running a 5k (3.1 miles). It was absolutely amazing. It was even more motivating knowing I was running for a reason. The cause was for Girls on the Run. Promoting a healthy body image and positive mindsets for young girls. I felt like I could run to Jupiter and back after I crossed the finish line.

Late Night with Roy- 100 years of success

If you missed Late Night with Roy on Friday, you definitely missed out on an awesome treat. The music, the lights, the excitement- all a part of the celebration for 100 years of UNC Basketball. Some of the performances were Carolina's best dance crew, basketball musical chairs, and ROY got up and showed he could dance better than some of his basketball players. (well..kinda). I am so lucky to be a tar heel!!



Thank God Kanye wasn't there to interrupt this one! and yes, I had AWESOME seats. :D

Climbing Mountains for a Better View

For some, giving up is simply not an option. We all make mistakes and the only thing we can really do is learn from them and move on. Project Homeless was an event that recently took place for those who are homeless, in danger of being homeless, or just need an extra push of encouragement to better their current circumstances. One woman's story in particular stuck out to me in the article. Toomes dropped out in seventh grade and is currently living at the Freedom House- "a recovery center for drug and alcohol abusers." After dropping out and meeting her second husband, she turned to cocaine and alcohol for comfort. She stated she was "tired of acting like a little kid." After realizing her life was going nowhere, she wanted to make a change and better herself. Toomes is now working to get her GED and a place of her own. She is living proof that it is possible to not let your past define your future.

You're going to Hell...because you're Ugly.

So I was walking back from class and was stopped by a crowd of people near the pit. Me being the nosey person I am, I wanted to see what was going on. It was the pit "preacher". ONCE AGAIN. This wasn't the first time I let him waste my time. I sat and listened for awhile and then decided to get out my camera and record him. Frankly, he just doesn't seem genuine to me. He basically thinks that everyone is going to hell, and his views on religion are backwards. He changes them constantly and he half reads everything. The students here argue with him in a failed attempt to get him to understand and respect their opinion. However, it never seems to work out this way. The pit "preacher" is only for show.

"Tarheels out to bounce back"...Sike.

Lets just say their springs weren't strong enough. There was no bouncing back Saturday afternoon at Kenan Stadium when the UNC football team faced Virginia. I have to admit I was pretty stoked to go to the football game after a devastating 24-7 loss last Saturday against Georgia Tech. I was ready for the heels to pull out a win...or even a touchdown. just one? Nope. not even one. The ending score was 16-3 and the game was a joke. The UNC crowd of fans stuck by the football team; we had more heart than they did for the game. Lets hope next week the football team shows up and plays with heart, instead of mud. uhh, mud? Yea. I have no idea where that came from. But you get the point.

Sorry...false alarm.

Chapel Hill barbershop owner Charles Brown and Carrboro NAACP had a few deadends that needed to be clipped. Brown was stopped while walking from his Barber shop on the night of June 1st. Police mistakenly thought he was another guy they were looking for. NAACP said police humiliated Brown and accused police of racial profiling. However, Chapel Hill police said there was no such evidence. WELL DUH. The NAACP is not giving up and the investigation is still pending. This is simply ridiculous. Brown was obviously not the guy they were looking for so why, if he wasn't resisting arrest, embarrass him in front of people and risk his barber shop business in such a boastful manner? I understand they were on a mission to find this other guy but why risk someone's reputation who has done nothing wrong? I'm sure there were ways to prevent this without arresting him. Try asking him his name first before jumping the gun. On another note we all make mistakes- just don't make the same one twice. or can you?
