TO THE EDITOR:

My experience at UNC is something I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to fully appreciate. As I sit in the Pit with a clear Carolina blue sky above me though, it becomes a little clearer.

The experiences I’ll value most extend well outside the walls of the classrooms I spent so much time in. It’s Gio running “the punt” back. It’s participating in monumental events like Dance Marathon. It’s that moment of disbelief when the coach’s son from Duke hit a three-pointer that left the Dean Dome in a silence I’m confident I’ll never witness again. It’s making connections that you’re confident will last a lifetime. It’s living in dorms where somehow a room the size of a shoebox feels just like home. It’s Franklin Street on the weekend where the town truly comes alive.

I am forever indebted to UNC for the opportunities and relationships this school has afforded me. My only regret is that my time here has to come to a close. So long UNC and the class of 2013, you will be sorely missed.
