Food Glorious Food

This weekend I had a life changing experience, I finally had D.P. Dough. My friends from Denver came up to visit me this weekend and they had heard of D.P. Dough so we decided to go there for lunch. I had heard so much about it and how good it was but I had never ventured there. We were all the way over on the other side of campus and decided that it wasn't too far to walk. Normally D.P. Dough isn't that far away but the walk feels a lot longer when it's nice and hot outside. To add to that, my friend thought she knew where she was going and took the long way to get there. Instead of cutting across campus to get there we went all the way around. So when we got there we were hot, thirsty, and very hungry. D.P. Dough serves calzones and personally I'm not usually a huge fan of  them but these were different. They had all kinds of calzones. They had ones with ranch, BBQ sauce, hot sauce, and all kinds of sauces. They had chicken ones, steak ones, and veggie ones. They had a whole page of all the calzones they make. I ended up choosing the Steak BBQ and boy did I make the right choice. It was the best calzone I had ever had and it didn't even taste like a calzone. The heat and long walk was worth the glorious food that I was ingesting. The funny thing is that I would not have tried D.P. Dough if it had not been for my friends. It's funny how hard it is to step out of your own comfort zone but when you do, you sometimes try something that can change your life. I think that's what college is all about, stepping out of your comfort zone and experiencing something amazing.

3OH!3

Every year the University Program Council puts on a concert for UNC students. In that past we have have such performers as Boys Like Girls, Shwayze, The Fray, Maroon 5, and back in the day we had The Red Hot Chilie Peppers. This year we are having 3OH!3, our very own Colorado natives. The event is for UNC and Aims students.

The event is put on in the Butler-Hancock Gymnasium where we also host our basketball games. The University Program Council also puts on events like Open Mic Night, Comedy Club, and Club UNC. The cool thing about the UPC is that its actually a job that students can have here on campus. Every year they hire students who plan all these fun events. Whether you work for, volunteer, or just attended the UPC events, you are guaranteed to have a good time.

Safety Here at UNC

Being away from home can be scary, at least for me it was. Greeley is about an hour and a half away from home. Some of you might be thinking that that's not far enough for you but for me its too far. One of the things I like about UNC is that I feel safe here at UNC. All around campus there are emergency polls. There a tall blue poll with a blue light at the very top, if there is ever an emergency all I have to do is press the red button on the poll and a UNC police officer will be there in under 90 seconds.

Now I have had some of my friends ask if the UNC police officers are real and I am here to tell you that they are. They are certified police officers just like all the police officers in Colorado.Another cool thing that I really like about UNC is their police escort service. This year I have classes that don't get out till after it's dark. I don't know about you but I'm afraid of the dark and unless I walk with someone I get scared. So on those nights all I have to do is call UNC Police Department and they will have a police officer escort me back to my dorm room. Talk about service .
