The Carolina Way

“The Carolina Way”: words we understand so well, they often don’t require defining. These words, first coined by beloved Coach Dean Smith, reflect the spirit of this University—excellence with integrity and heart. These words influence each of us—students, alumni, faculty and friends—and more than anything else bind us to this place and to each other.

"Sometimes I think that this is heaven and we just haven't realized it yet."

Sorry post secret, you're wrong. You put the wrong picture on that post. And yes, we already realize it's heaven.

Carolina basketball: Fresh Start

Dear Roy,
I know your new season begins today and I'm really excited for you. It's been a tough year for us both, what with the unforeseen flop that was last season and my attending Dook, but I'm optimistic this year. I don't even mind that you sent Will Graves packin'. He probably deserved it. Fool Roy once and you're benched, but fool him twice and you're off the team.

I'd like to go ahead and put in my request for a baller season. I'd like to see less of this:
And this:
And a lot more of this:

I'd even settle for some of this:
I really appreciate the effort. And so does my friend Barack.
Stay classy.
Love, becky

Remembering Eve

Eve.

I have this photo on my desk at work as a constant reminder to be more, do more, see more. To remind myself to not let little things bother me. To remind myself to focus on the bigger picture.

I may not be where I want to be yet but I’m continuing to learn from her and grow.

I won’t pretend that we were best friends because we weren’t. We were merely acquaintances who passed each other often, with many smiles and small talk exchanged here and there, at the Campus Y.

Despite our limited interaction, her absence continues to impact me to an extent that is difficult to explain.

I received an email this morning regarding her Memorial Collection and still, each time I see or hear her name, my eyes uncontrollably well with tears. I can only imagine the pain and loss her family and close friends continue to experience on a daily basis.

However, I hope they know that yes, she was irreplaceable. That she impacted a lot of people in a short amount of time. That she continues to impact me.

I hope she knows it too.

What's more, she is a Carson. My name means more to me than words can say. That is our bond. That makes her family. Eve continues to inspire people every day. I am one of those people.
