Thanks to the Carrboro Board of Aldermen, a group that is often ignored might soon receive some support. The board approved a motion at Tuesday’s meeting to look into potentially cracking down on employers who don’t fairly compensate day laborers. This is a good first step. The board should look for enforceable ways to punish […]
The Daily Tar Heel and I….
Last semester was one of the hardest semesters I have ever had to endure during my college career. It seemed that I was constantly having to fight for the right to be here-in Chapel Hill and walking around on this campus-UNC at Chapel Hill…but I made it! And not only did I make it, but […]
Come on AT&T…wake up!!!
I remember getting my job over two and half years ago with Cingular. I knew it was a long shot because I had never been in sales before, but for the sake of my sanity and school life I had to try because the schedule was just too appealing. It meant that I would get […]
UNC and letting go of stereotypes…
I am not sure at what age we begin accumulating them, or how it is exactly that our minds filter categories in such a way but we are all prone to being stereotypical. I grew up in a small town, one that I do my best to disown, one that scarred me deeply but one […]
Fall…my very favorite!
I love this time of year! While it seems that they say that we are attached to the time of year in which we are born-I never really felt that until I got older. Perhaps that little wives tale has nothing to do with fact or reality-but every fall I feel like I am being […]

Hard decisions show us who we are….
(January 9, 2013) Life has been absolutely insane. I started this blog believing that I would be able to write a lot-and I will, but I have been playing the wonderful game of catch-up and I swear it cannot last forever! I missed over two weeks of school because of my accident and being in […]
It just seems like so much…
I believe that often I am naive about the luxury that I am a part of-the life of a student at an adult age. As an adult I have lived, I have worked, spent years traveling and waiting tables and I know damn well how important is it to have a college degree…but it is […]
Introduction…in a way
Under the guidance of my esteemed professors I have been slowly throwing myself into the media seized world of Twitter and now blogging. I had used blogs before to chronicle my traveling experiences so that my family and friends could keep up with me while I experienced new cultures and learned profound lessons (met cute […]
