"At some point this past year, I entered the door code, walked up the loud metal stairs and opened the door and walked into the brick office. I said my fair share of hellos and strolled to the back table. I took my seat, I opened my laptop and I knew I was exactly where I needed to be."
"We never listened to the radio growing up. We were a family prone to road trips and my father was not only the driver, but also our person on aux."
"I was miserable not because Chapel Hill couldn't be home, but because from the moment I stepped on campus, I decided it wouldn’t."
