My freshman year of college consisted mostly of spending long nights in the library or working as a staff writer for The Daily Tar Heel.
Northern vs. southern fashion
Growing up in the North makes you realize the multiple things that vastly differ from Southern culture.
From the sweetness of the tea to how you greet your parents, there is a prominent cultural divide once you pass the Mason-Dixon line.
Conforming to the mannerisms and the overall Southern hospitality is something that seemed to come very naturally for me, yet sometimes I struggle to fully understand how to compromise my Northern roots with Southern class.
I spent all of middle and high school, as well as my first year of college, in the South and I've come to learn all about the many trends and what simply doesn't do the trick.
First of all, growing up in the North, I have never heard it be remotely acceptable to dress up for a sporting event. Maybe it was also because I have never found any real passion for sports, but wearing a dress to a football game was extremely out of the ordinary.
Although I don't attend a "football school," I find myself looking for "game day" gear that doesn't include a t-shirt and tennis shoes. Game day outfits are something born of Southern culture. If you wear a sundress and cowboy boots to a game up North, someone will probably ask you if you're lost and need some help finding the way out of the stadium.
Northern style is also much more muted. It's structured and chic, while native Southerns tend to be more feminine and geared towards prints. It might be because of the rigid personalities and culture of the Northern population that contrasts with the hospitality and Southern charm that creates such different style combinations.
The femininity that goes along with Southern style puts a big focus on loose-fitting clothing that gives a girl an ethereal element and a care-free vibe.
I have learned, however, that no one can accessories quite like the South. The color combinations of accessories are flawless and always complementary, while I was always taught to keep it simple and functional, rather than playful and colorful.
Minimalism is another factor that is rarely seen in the South. Bigger is always better where as Northerners put a large focus on monotone looks that have just enough accessories or extras to show effort.
The nature of the North is also a bit more daring. Girls seem to put a bigger emphasis on more form-fitting clothes that are always pushing social boundaries and are continuously edgy.
In contrast to this, a Southern prep (as I've learned from the many blogs with names strikingly similar to that phrase) has everything to do with prints and logos. You know exactly what brands to wear and how to wear them; the Southern prep is becoming increasingly more accessible and girls are able to spot it within seconds.
Many people forget just how different the two ends of the east coast are, but in reality the culture of each is what makes them individually so great. Having experience the styles and trends of each throughout the years has shown me how to meet in the middle and incorporate several different styles into a single wardrobe.

Board of County Commissioners discusses possible firearm regulations
Complaints of successive and irresponsible shooting at odd hours led to a discussion of firearm regulations at the Orange County Board of Commissioners meeting Feb. 16.
A proposed amendment was presented at the meeting that would place restrictions on where firearms can be discharged from and the time of day at which they can be discharged.
It would have required any firearms discharged to be directed to a projectile-proof backstop.
Residents would only be allowed to discharge firearms from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The amendment would also require residents to be 300 feet from private property lines, including 1,000 feet from the homes of any neighbors.
According to Commissioner Earl McKee, the board is taking the public opinion into heavy consideration while dealing with these issues.
“We have received feedback that the time restraints are far too restrictive,” he said.
“All of the public’s opinion will be taken into consideration, but some regulations need to be placed because there are problems that need to be addressed appropriately.”
Commissioner Renee Price said the meeting centered around hearing feedback from residents.
“We all would really rather have citizen input on this and not have it be something that is drafted solely by staff,” Price said.
Price said she thought feedback would come primarily from those in the rural parts of the county who own firearms.
“Whenever we have something like this, I think we need to have citizen input.”
Members of the community are concerned that the Board of Commissioners regulations would take away from the rural characteristics of Orange County.
Price said many people misinterpreted the meeting and perceived it as their rights being taken away — something the board did not aim to do.
“There are people that are living nearby that are concerned about the noise and the safety, which I can understand,” she said.
“If we were trying to do something behind closed doors without public input, we wouldn’t have included those details in our agenda packet.”
North Carolinians Against Gun Violence President Chip Carnathan said it’s difficult to say whether the organization would agree or disagree with the proposed amendment.
“It’s a slippery slope for anyone involved,” he said.
“A pro of the restriction is that it is all daylight and you won’t have such a heavy number of people shooting at odd hours of the night. I hope if they do come down with a decision they are looking at both sides, although some restrictions are necessary.”

Trending now: '90s fashion is seen more often than not
As you stroll through campus on a Saturday night, you'll probably notice a mass amount of chokers, "party ponies" and high-waisted jeans.
No, you're not time traveling back to the 90's, you're simply just experiencing the rebirth of the classic, angsty, '90s style that girls today are finessing. It started off with the emergence of crop tops and high-waisted shorts in the summer, and has now moved to turtle necks and Keds being all the rage when paired with the right pair of torn up boyfriend jeans. So whether or not your '90s revolution has stopped with your hight-top converse or has made it all the way to the wonderful half-bun, you can see that this trend isn't coming to a stop anytime soon.
The '90s were full of teen-angst and grunge, but it also was a time of extremely functional and fun looks. It takes the average days wardrobe and adds an element of edge to it in a way that doesn't come off like you're trying too hard.
A key component to honing in on your inner 90's gal is owning a button-front skirt. These can be styled in two very distinct, different ways.
By pairing the skirt with a cute crop top, fun jewelry and some great converse, you automatically portray the fun-loving '90s girl who's ready to take on any sort of adventure.
If that's not quite your style, grab your favorite oversized, plain-colored v-neck and tuck it in just the right amount to give a comfy, effortless looks. Pair it with some simple flats, and if you really want to hit a '90s style home-run, throw on your favorite pair of Keds and you've got all you need to conquer the day.
Another '90s element that's trending right now is the choker. This is something that can make or break a look, but can also add the perfect amount of accessories in a low-key way.
A choker is something that can add the ultimate final element to any outfit. Adding something tighter around the neck can give your messy up-do or curled hair the perfect accentuation and edgy look. It can also easily replace the structure that a high neckline shirt has to offer, not to mention you can find any color or style of choker to go with your outfit of choice.
One fashion element that is basically the choker's best friend is bomber jacket. This pair is the ultimate '90s duo and can be done in thousands of different ways. A bright bomber jacket with a chic pair of Adidas sneaker, denim high-waisted shorts, and a funky choker is a casual outfit that has the perfect amount of fun undertone.
So whether or not *NSYNC is your favorite band or The Spice Girls are your idols, the 90's style trend is something that brings an element of party to the normal day-to-day lifestyle. And, if you begin to receive some back last for your angsty '90s style choices as I once did (one time my older brother told me he would disown me if I went out in public in a choker), please disregard, buy another choker and rock on.

7-year-old fights cancer, becomes ambassador
Car rider lines, long division and recess are the things that usually make up the daily life of a 7-year-old. But Phineas Sandi is unlike most children his age.
He has the privilege of being able to say he is one of five 2016 ambassadors for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation and, more importantly, that he has overcome the battle against childhood cancer.
Phineas, along with his parents, works to advocate for the issue of childhood cancer. The Sandi family has not only experienced great success, but a great deal of loss, as well.
Nine years ago, Kristina Sandi noticed a rash on her 16-month-old daughter, Althea, that later turned out to be petechiae. Althea was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Treatment plans were implemented, but Althea never made it to remission.
“This type of cancer is extremely hard to treat and even if treatment is being tried, it’s even harder to get any patient into remission,” Kristina Sandi said.
Kristina and Carlos Sandi weren’t done with their cancer battles just yet. Phineas developed what looked to be the same rash found on his sister, along with a cold and a slight fever that brought him to the emergency room.
“I met the family in the emergency room prior to diagnosis and we all immediately knew what was going to come from the visit,” pediatric oncologist Dr. Philip Roehrs said.
These symptoms led to him being diagnosed with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
“Phineas saw a different, more common type of cancer than Althea,” Kristina Sandi said. “A child who experiences this type of leukemia can expect about three and a half years of chemotherapy, which is extremely tough on such young bodies.”
The Sandi family was under the care of Roehrs at UNC Lineberger. Phineas went through four months of intense chemotherapy, but had seen little success because he was chemoresistant.
Carlos Sandi saw a light at the end of the tunnel once he was introduced to Dr. Daniel Lee, a St. Baldrick’s Foundation Scholar at the National Cancer Institute. St. Baldrick’s Foundation is the world’s largest volunteer-powered organization advocating for childhood cancer.
This led to Phineas joining a group of similar patients who had little to no response to previous chemotherapy.
As Phineas went through what was going to be his last round of chemotherapy, a spot opened up in the immunotherapy trial. A month later, Phineas was cancer-free.
“He came back to us after going through the trial with a full head of hair and looking like a healthy kid,” Roehrs said.
The Sandi family could say proudly that they had — and still have — a cancer-free son.
“They approached this in a positive way and read as much as they could and helped me help their child,” Roehrs said.
Jane Hoppen, director of family relations for St. Baldrick’s, has worked with the family for seven months.
“I came to know the family on an advocacy perspective and they really proved how much more needs to be done to bring awareness to this issue,” Hoppen said.
According to Kristina Sandi, the death of their daughter devastated the family, making them want to move past life and push back any thought of cancer.
“They prove to be great role models to many as they were given a curse and turned it into a blessing to those who they reach out to,” Roehrs said.

How to keep your New Year's resolution to dress better
With a new year comes a clean slate and whole year to focus on new responsibilities and goals. Often times, for a college student these goals can range from monumental changes to little day-to-day changes.
A popular resolution amongst the female population at UNC is trying to present yourself a little better come the new semester and only break out the yoga pants and leggings once a week. This, along with almost every other New Year’s resolution, can be tricky to keep up with and fully pursue, especially on the mornings after two hours of sleep and a ten page paper.
Although the fleece-lined leggings paired with your dad’s old hoodie from college do not make up the polished, put-together look you might be striving for, there are several ways to stay fierce and flawless at college during the new year.
The key not falling off the college fashionista train is distinguishing between functional and fashionable looks.
While scrolling through your Pinterest feed or looking at the many fashion blogger looks out there, you’re probably envious of the fabulous outfits and extraordinary combinations put together by the masterminds who own the clothes.
Well, contrary to popular belief, some of the more trendy and fashion-forward looks aren’t always applicable to a college student’s life or schedule. Many think that unless they are wearing six-inch heels and are carrying the latest Rebecca Minkoff clutch, they aren’t meeting the expectations of being well-dressed.
I’m here to tell you that this assumption is very, very false.When getting ready to go to class everyday, you have to remember that less is indeed more, and a little accessorizing with a splash of makeup can take you a long way.
Basics are key to anyone’s wardrobe, whether they’re in college or not. A minimalistic go-to piece is a good pair of jeans. My personal favorite is a solid black jean (yes, people can tell the difference between them and leggings). Pair them with a comfy solid piko shirt, colorful scarf, some booties and a great jacket and you will give off a chic and effortless vibe on your morning commute to class.
Especially during the colder months, scarves are another staple piece to incorporate into a wardrobe and amp it up to another level. The more patterns the better — putting a fun, flirty patterned scarf will take the simplest of shirts or dresses and give them a little kick in the right direction, not to mention scarves do give you a solid excuse to pull your hair in a messy pony and call it a day.
All of these tricks and little hints can absolutely help you refresh your look, but what happens when the athletic leggings are calling your name? One word — athleisure. This word simply refers to taking your athletic clothes, which as you’ve noticed are getting increasingly cuter as time goes on, and pairing them with certain pieces that make them look a little cuter than your usual gym look. I promise, this is not too good to be true.
Recently I discovered slim-straight athletic leggings that look adorable with a good pair of converse. These really accentuate your legs and are just short of having the standard yoga pant flare and they don’t quite look like true workout leggings.
Any looser, casual shirt can be matched with these and throwing them on with a cuter tennis shoe can make you look comfy, but chic and can have you ready to go in a matter of minutes. Many brands are making athletic jackets and pullovers that give off a street-style vibe, but still stay true to the brand's’ look.
Aside from fully wearing these pieces, tying the jacket around your waist and showing off a cute, fitted running shirt will bring a laid-back, street vibe to your gym outfit. Athleisure can be a little bit tricky, but it can keep you inline with your resolution and give you some relief when you just don’t feel like putting on real pants.
Resolutions in general can sometimes be more of a burden than a benefit, but sometimes the littlest of changes, like revamping your daily appearance, can boost confidence and make any college student feel like they can take on anything.

zach wright lead unc men's soccer to victory
Sophomore Zach Wright made all the right moves in Tuesday’s match against UNC-Wilmington.
Behind two first-half goals by the forward, the No. 2 North Carolina men’s soccer team seized a substantial lead in a 3-0 win over the Seahawks.
Shortly into the first half, UNC (9-0-1) kept a strong hold on the ball, making UNC-W (6-2-2) focus heavily on its defensive players.
The first goal scored by Wright was off of a header from redshirt junior Tucker Hume.
By the end of the first half, UNC had notched 10 shots, with Wright scoring the only two goals.
“I think the one thing he’s drastically improved this semester is getting in behind and making runs in behind,” senior defender Jonathan Campbell said.
“The future, I mean, he’s a sophomore playing right now and he’s got a leadership chance, where right now he’s leading by example, and in the future he’s going to have to be a vocal leader for the team.”
Campbell assisted on Wright’s first goal after clearing a shot by UNC-W shortly into the first half.
Campbell shared how the team switched it from center back to the right side, where Hume was able to head it over to Wright in order to score the first goal of the game.
About 10 minutes after Wright scored the first goal of the game, he put away a second on a pass up the middle of the field from sophomore David October.
“The second goal, it just felt good to put them away because they beat us the last two years, so we really had to get into them,” Wright said.
Wright’s second goal on Tuesday marked his fourth of the season, which leaves him tied for second on the team with sophomore forward Alan Winn.
According to Coach Carlos Somoano, the chemistry and unity of the forwards has been a work in progress.
But it seems to be paying off as the season continues.
“It’s been something that we’ve really, really focused on. Last year we had Tyler Engel, a fifth-year senior, and we had Andy Craven, a fifth-year senior. So we had a lot of experienced players playing in our front line,” he said. “They were a little bit easier to coach instruction-wise and they were a little bit further ahead in what the expectations of this program are. These are younger players, or less experienced players, on Fetzer Field, and we had to take a step back and start from a different starting point and really work on some of those things.”
Wright’s performance on Tuesday and the growth of the younger players around him hints at what the team could become in the future.
“You can only imagine what they will look like two years from now if we keep working,” Somoano said. “You can only imagine Zach and Alan up there running around in two years time; I mean, it’ll be phenomenal.”

The first goal scored by Wright was off of a header from redshirt junior Tucker Hume.
By the end of the first half, UNC had notched 10 shots, with Wright scoring the only two goals.
“I think the one thing he’s drastically improved this semester is getting in behind and making runs in behind,” senior defender Jonathan Campbell said.
“The future, I mean, he’s a sophomore playing right now and he’s got a leadership chance, where right now he’s leading by example, and in the future he’s going to have to be a vocal leader for the team.”
Campbell assisted on Wright’s first goal after clearing a shot by UNC-W shortly into the first half.
Campbell shared how the team switched it from center back to the right side, where Hume was able to head it over to Wright in order to score the first goal of the game.
About 10 minutes after Wright scored the first goal of the game, he put away a second on a pass up the middle of the field from sophomore David October.
“The second goal, it just felt good to put them away because they beat us the last two years, so we really had to get into them,” Wright said.
Wright’s second goal on Tuesday marked his fourth of the season, which leaves him tied for second on the team with sophomore forward Alan Winn.
According to Coach Carlos Somoano, the chemistry and unity of the forwards has been a work in progress.
But it seems to be paying off as the season continues.
“It’s been something that we’ve really, really focused on. Last year we had Tyler Engel, a fifth-year senior, and we had Andy Craven, a fifth-year senior. So we had a lot of experienced players playing in our front line,” he said. “They were a little bit easier to coach instruction-wise and they were a little bit further ahead in what the expectations of this program are. These are younger players, or less experienced players, on Fetzer Field, and we had to take a step back and start from a different starting point and really work on some of those things.”
Wright’s performance on Tuesday and the growth of the younger players around him hints at what the team could become in the future.
“You can only imagine what they will look like two years from now if we keep working,” Somoano said. “You can only imagine Zach and Alan up there running around in two years time; I mean, it’ll be phenomenal.”
