Winter Break

Happy Holidays! I had a wonderful Christmas and I can't wait till the new year. One thing that's cool about UNC is that I get a whole month off for winter break. Finals ended on the 9th and the first day of spring semester starts on January 9th. I remember my first semester of college and I had no idea that classes were only one semester. Unlike high school where classes are a year long and you dreaded going back to school after winter break. At UNC you get a whole new set of classes each semester. I get excited to go back after winter break because it's like a whole new school year for me. I am enjoying my break but I am also looking forward to next semester. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year.

Finals Week!!!

This is the time of year that I start pulling out my hair. It's finals week at UNC. It is the most stressful time of the semester. It's when everything is due and when you have to study for all of your classes finals. This semester I have 4 finals, one everyday, Monday through Thursday. I just finished my last final today and it feels awesome. The nice thing is that the university tries and to make this time of the year less stressful. They have chair massages at the library and study breaks at the dinning halls. Each night they have a different snack for the study break. My favorite so far has been the chilie cheese fries and tonight it's soft pretzels. The end of semester is a bitter sweet time. It's a stressful, happy, and sad time. I'm excited to be on break, I'm stressed from my finals, and I'm sad because I have had some classes this semester that I will miss. But I am excited to start next semester. I get to take my Public Relations and Advertising classes, which is my major, so you can see why I'm excited. But for now let the holiday season begin.  I hope you all have a wonderful start to your Christmas Season!

Drag Show

I recently attended a drag show here at UNC. It was put on by Spectrum which is the LGBTA community here at UNC. They had drag queens from all over come and perform to raise money for Rainbow Alley. They are an organization that is a resource for gay, bisexual, or confused teens. They had veteran performers and they had others that were performing for the first time. They had two acts of the show and served brownies at intermission. The hosts of the show were really funny. One of the host was a drag queen named Cascade Phoenix and the other was a young lady that is a part of the spectrum community here at UNC.
I have never been to a drag show before so I didn't know what to expect. I was quite surprised when the show started. Many of the performers danced in lingerie and lip sync to the songs they choose. All together the show was very entertaining and they raised more than $200 for Rainbow Alley. Personally, I'm heading into my last week of this semester and getting ready for finals next week. Wish me luck!
