Well, it’s LDOC of my junior year, my mom’s here to visit and I’m still underage. Wish me luck.

Ten bucks says the Minotaur was behind that gas leak in Phillips.

Dear professors: Don’t take it personally if I fail your exams. I‘m just not very good at college.

With all the stress we’re all feeling, UNC should really invest in a building open 24 hours dedicated to those puppies. It’d be a better use of money than whatever UNC’s PR machine is doing.
