With final exam season quickly approaching, it is important to know how best to support your student during this infamously stressful period.
As the end of the semester approaches and the weather gets colder, it’s harder for your student to find the motivation to stay on top of work. Their schedule gets busier, and suddenly it’s the last week of classes and they have eight assignments due in two days.
Showing up at the polls can be a scary experience for any new voter, which is why it’s important for parents to make sure their student feels encouraged and ready when going to cast their ballot this year.
Class registration season has arrived! We have all the information on how it works for your student at Carolina. While this is something your student will do independently, it’s good for you to know how it works, and even arm yourself with some advice if need be!
Whether you’re a Tar Heel born or a Tar Heel bred, the academic rigor at UNC can be a difficult adjustment for both students and their families. If you’re a new Tar Heel or Tar Heel parent, the transition to the UNC lifestyle requires careful planning and accountability.
Your child’s time at Carolina is a time in which they’ll learn more about becoming a self-sufficient adult – and financial independence should be no exception. Thankfully, budgeting is a good way to ease them into being more aware of their finances.
The start of the semester is always difficult. For some, it is their first time living apart from their families as a college student. For others, it is about going back to a routine that they may have forgotten since the final days of classes in May.
At the ripe age of three, I was a huge Toy Story fan.
In high school, I played a lot of ping pong.
I once read that the reality show "The Bachelor" heavily encourages its contestants to use the word "journey" when describing their time on the show. Producers fear that using words like "competition" or "process" will take away from the romance and whimsy that producers so desperately try to create.
When I was in elementary school, I thought I'd accomplished a lot athletically.
I don't have anything to back this up, but I'm pretty sure that applying for summer internships is one of the circles of hell. My sophomore year, I applied to over 60 internships and only interviewed with three companies. Last year, I did so many phone interviews that I became an elevator pitch of myself.
Describing my schedule to anyone who is not (or hasn't been) a DTH editor makes me look insane. I'm pretty sure that to my friends outside the paper, it's a little unclear if I'm being held hostage.
Rachel, our editor in chief, and Bailey, our managing editor, are both from Eastern North Carolina. It's woven into the fabric of their beings; they're so proud of their hometowns. I appreciate that about them. Being from Winston-Salem, I usually just tell people that we have Krispy Kreme and Chris Paul went to my high school.
I am an avid reader of the Goop newsletter, a byproduct of Gwyneth Paltrow's lifestyle brand. In it, Goop gives you recipes, style tips and ways to live your best life.
I once heard that 50 percent of first-years come into UNC as a biology major. I don't really have any data to support that, but it certainly feels true. I remember being a first-year and feeling like everyone was taking Biology 101. I was the only person in my first-year suite that wasn't a biology major at the beginning of the year.
I have a wonderful dog named Annie. She's a black lab, and 11 years young. She's perpetually anxious, a little blind and so, so, so, sweet.
I don't understand sports well (read: at all). Going to UNC has given me some knowledge of basketball, but anything else really goes over my head.
I was in band for seven years.
I lived with my friend Leah two years. We were inseparable in high school, and I lived with her family after my first year of college. In our second year of living together, we decided to take the next step.
