10 things to do on a snow day

Here at UNC, we were blessed with another week of snow, thus giving me another five day weekend. I’m proud to say I woke up fairly late and am still in my heated blanket and have enough food to last me two weeks. I regret nothing.

Five things I’ll miss about my job

It’s been two weeks since I left my job at the school newspaper. I was juggling school, extracurriculars, a job and then trying to figure out what in the world I was going to do after graduation – it was too much. So I let go of the one thing I knew I could live without.

My old roommate (who is also Punjabi, woot!) and I were planning on getting a triple with her sister, but the dorm was being bleh and it didn’t work out.
