The infamous "Puppy Monkey Baby" from Mountain Dew Kickstart's Super Bowl 50 commercial will live in our memories long after the highlights of the actual game will — unfortunately. The shock factor of watching an amalgam of random animals jump around was designed to attract attention, probably.
As you stroll through campus on a Saturday night, you'll probably notice a mass amount of chokers, "party ponies" (pictured below) and high-waisted jeans.
One of the loggerhead sea turtles studied by UNC biology professor Kenneth Lohmann swims.
There's a really small place on the coast of North Carolina where I've had the joy of spending two summer vacations. It's a place I've heard locals refer to as BYOB, or "bring your own boy," as testament to the quality of their neighbors.
Within only 15 days, more than 1,000 sea turtles have been admitted for rehabilitation to the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center in Surf City near Topsail Island.

Halloween is a pretty big deal in Chapel Hill. People from all over the Triangle come around to strut their stuff on Franklin Street. There will be a lot of people with a lot of great costumes, so you want to make sure that yours is great too.

Stop me abruptly, at any point in time, and ask me about my most traumatizing childhood memory. I can promise you unwaveringly that almost every one of them involves splinters — no, not splinters. Having my Irish-Catholic mom remove splinters.
Crepe Traditions
If you’ve been to the Chapel Hill institution He’s Not Here, you’ve probably seen Scott Nurkin's artwork covering the walls, both inside and outside the premise.
I used to spend a lot of time at my grandparents' house in the summer. I was young and thought the world was full of magic. I was surrounded by family. My older cousin had just finished trying to drown me in our grandparents' pool. Out of nowhere, my dad came around the side of the house carrying a cardboard box. He gently placed it in front of me and let me look at what it was holding, and all I remember thinking was, "Holy heck, a turtle." I think I might have actually said, "Holy heck, a turtle." And for the next three weeks, I spent every waking moment caring for and bonding with my box turtle, whom I creatively named Boxter. He was my very first pet, and I thought he and I knew everything about each other. Then one day Boxter laid four eggs and everything I knew about him came crashing down in a smoke of lies. I've never trusted a wild animal since, and neither should you. They're not pets — they're liars. I'm just glad UNC's famous Squirrel Girl didn't have her trust shattered by her woodland friend like 5-year-old me did.
