I spent about a hour in the Undergraduate Library today. Between my procrastinating and people-watching from the second floor, I noticed some interesting trends.
Here are the stats:
-Facebook accounts opened: 8
-Phones vibrating: 2
-Ringtone of "Romeo and Juliet" by Taylor Swift quickly being silenced: 1
When I first got to campus, I had noble intentions.
I was going to be healthy and active. I ate three, well-spaced meals throughout the day, with plenty of fruits and veggies. There were no ifs-ands-or-buts about not eating breakfast. The boxes of sugary snacks my parents left with me remained unopened. I went to the gym three times a week.
The Leonid meteor shower did little to dazzle stargazing students in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
Many students stayed up until as late as 5 a.m. to watch the meteor shower at its peak. But many of those students said it definitely did not live up to its hype.
Junior Brett Whitney said he watched the shower from outside his dorm at Spencer Hall but was not impressed.
In preparation for their flyover at Saturday's football game against the Miami Hurricanes, four fighter jets from the VMFA-122 squadron known as the "Werewolves" will have a practice run Friday afternoon.
Barring poor weather or schedule changes, students can expect to hear the roar of Marine F/A-18 Hornet jets between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m.
For those of you who read on the toilet, sing in the shower, or just enjoy chilling in bathrooms, there is a blog made just for you.
UNC Pooper scopes out bathrooms on campus and rates them based on cleanliness, location, space, supplies, heating and air conditioning, traffic, and even Internet availability.
If you ever get the urge to write a paper from the toilet seat, you'll be well-informed.
The weather this week has been completely miserable, particularly today. I braved the barren tundra out in the Pit for around 15 minutes this afternoon to see how students are coping.
One tree blocked traffic on Duke’s West Campus, and pedestrians and motorists reported almost being hit by other falling trees.
Here at UNC, two students were hit on Nov. 2 by a large pin oak near Mitchell. And a second tree fell Wednesday, breaking a classroom window in the process as an obvious act of protest.
I wake up from the warmth and comfort of my twin-sized comforter and hop down from my lofted bed. I groggily stumble my way outdoors to check the weather.
I look out past my dorm's balcony and my heart sinks — it's raining.
