Finals are looming. It's too gosh darn hot. Our seniors will be leaving us. Teachers are assigning last-minute papers. And, need I remind everyone, we went all the way to Houston and lost the championship.
I'm still crying. Everything is stressful. Needless to say, I think most people are riding the struggle bus. So I compiled a little list of people that I love and who inspire me, a list that I can look to in these dark times.
5) Carol Folt
Carol Folt is akin to superwoman. As UNC's first female chancellor, she's led the University in the national dialogue about higher education, has taken a strong position on protecting students from sexual assault, and initiated conversations about difficult topics. Personally, I think she's a strong, awesome woman who genuinely loves her students. You go, Carol.
4) Oprah Winfrey
Ever since I was a little girl, I wanted to be Oprah. Have my own talk show, be a billionaire, that kind of thing. Even though now I've set my sights a little lower, Oprah still inspires me today. She's so happy and generous! Especially with bees. BEES!
3) Roy Williams
Roy, my boy! From his crazy suits to his locker room celebrations, he is one of the cutest/hypest/best people around. UNC has claim to a national treasure, and we all love him, daggummit!
2) Steph Curry
I'm gonna crush my finals, just like Steph Curry sinks them threes. Ball so hard.
1) My parents
They're number one on my list for a reason. Anyone who's met Lisa Williams knows that she's one of the bubbliest people who will always be there to listen to your problems (as well as supply copious amounts of AMAZING food), and anyone who's met Wes Williams can tell you that he tells the worst jokes but is also knows how to fix everything (including your problems).
During these stressful times, take care of yourself, drink lots of water, get lot's of sleep, call your parents, look up funny gifs on the internet. Just remember heels, there's always gonna be someone there to support you!
