To the guy casually sipping on a beer while taking notes in class, you are truly a great gentleman and a scholar.

Pro-tip: The UNC Emergency Room has no sense of “emergency.” At least, not until you vomit all over their immaculate waiting area.

At least we can tell our kids that in our time we had to walk a mile in the snow to get to class ... Thanks UNC.

To all the people stocking up on milk and bread: I hope your milk sandwiches are delicious.

To the woman who rolled down her car window on Franklin Street to ask me where the Victoria’s Secret was ... just no.

To the girl outside the UL making a lactation joke: Your punchline wasn’t very funny, but you might as well milk it for all it’s worth.

The two kinds of people at Rams Head on Sunday mornings: Those who just got Jesus and those who need Jesus after last night.

Next time someone asks me what I’m doing after I graduate I’m going to respond with “When was your last bowel movement?” So we can both feel unaccomplished and uncomfortable.
