College dating is a messy ordeal. Maybe you get asked out by someone you're not interested in. Maybe you're 21 and still afraid of confrontation, so you opt for a, "Hey, you're really cool, but if I had more than an hour of unaccounted-for time a day, I'd spend it actually getting sleep."

Believe it or not, I used to be one of those millennials who hated millennials. I played into it like a naive kid who hates naps or everyone in 2008 who thought it was cool to hate Taylor Swift for singing about boys.

In high school, I had a truly riveting English teacher. And one day she came in, especially excited, saying she had a quirky assignment for us. Rather than learning English, we'd be creating our own alphabet for homework (emphasis hers, retroactively).

This time last year, I made a decision I'll regret for the rest of my college career. I took a class that was both outside my major and fulfilled no requirements I needed. I signed up for a 300-level course on environmental law. "For fun."

The speed at which language changes and disseminates absolutely fascinates me. And watching older generations try to keep up with slang both fascinates and generally tickles me. In fairness, we'd probably have no idea what our parents were saying if they brought back their slang, like "groovy" or "flapper."

In 2015 during March Madness, the whole office got together to make their brackets. Being competitive to a fault and knowing little to nothing about sports, I made a Google doc with my co-worker and ranked every team based on the attractiveness of its players.

I don't remember the last material thing I spent money on that didn't come with napkins or a little black mixing straw. And like most broad-sweeping generalizations that can't be blamed on my astrological sign, it's evidently because I'm a millennial.

It's a recurring theme in life that things always seem to inconveniently happen at the same time. Like when you go six months without any available person noticing you, and then three guys simultaneously slide into your Tinder messages. Or when there are three parties on the same day.

It happens to all of us eventually. Maybe you do poorly in a class. Maybe you get broken up with. Maybe the Panera cashier tells you they're out of bread bowls.

I don't get involved with sports as a general rule — both because I am stretched thin on what I can make myself care about and also just because it's a safety measure for my fragile heart not to feel what it felt at about 11:15 last night.

Since taking this job — writing the newsletter and becoming the official disembodied voice of The Daily Tar Heel online — I've learned a lot. It can be fun. It can be rewarding. Also, people can really, really suck.

Growing up outside Greensboro, N.C., my options for hangout spots were… limited. Often, I ventured into Kernersville, a small town with a population of 23,000 and an atmosphere for which the adjective "quaint" could be considered overly generous.

Last October, on the way to New York, I had a run-in with airport security.

Having a dog in college is great. They protect you. They comfort you when things go wrong. They're the only beings on Earth who're happy to see you regardless of how much you accidentally step on their feet or ignore them to do work.

Today, we have a modern romance about two married UNC law professors. Her grandmother knew about him in advance from a newspaper article she read and wanted her granddaughter to meet him.

Before the age of 15, I owned three articles of clothing that weren't black. I didn't own a shirt with a collar. I think there might've been cargo shorts. It was a dark time in my life – literally. I couldn't see because my hair almost completely covered my eyes.

The Daily Grind might be facing an uncertain future with contract renewals, but the cafe has held a special place in my heart since the first day I stepped foot on campus as a 16-year-old at journalism camp. It's solidified my feelings many times since, like last year when a cute barista told me I'd prefer frozen "grasshoppers" with dark chocolate instead of white.

People describe candidate Bradley Opere as a great friend, student, soccer player and dancer. And that's why they think he'd be a good student body president. As an experiment, I asked around the office tonight. If I were to run for SBP, this is how my coworkers would describe me:

When I was little, a lot of people tried to get me involved in Pokemon. Teachers included. I remember them desperately trying to get me to play it with other kids.

I'm assuming you read this newsletter when you're in a situation where you're avoiding doing something else. I do. I literally re-read an email I send to myself because I'd rather do that than talk to people on the bus or pay attention in morning classes.
