#unc15

Veecare UNC 15 is used to assess periodontal pocket depths, attachment levels, anatomy configurations and gingival bleeding.

The temperature is dropping in Chapel Hill, which means some of our favorite (and least favorite) parts about winter at UNC are on their way!

1. The everyday dress code shifts from norts to leggings.

Because wearing something different to class is not the Carolina Way.

2. The post-fall break struggle of never ending papers/exams.

Where did they all come from? Why is something ALWAYS due?

3. Registration frenzy

Before you can make it through fall semester, you have to pick out your classes for spring, and possibly offer your first born child in exchange for a green circle.

4. Not tripping on the bricks gets the added challenge of leaves and eventually ice.

5. Patagonias. Patagonias EVERYWHERE.

6. A week of 80-degree weather. 

It's Chapel Hill. So really any kind of weather goes, no matter the season. The warm weather is especially likely to come as soon as you've decided to leave your summer clothes at home.

7. Wishing you could go out in an oversized sweatshirt and fuzzy socks.

Blue cup full of hot apple cider anyone?

8. Holidays on the Hill...

Heelloween, attempting to make a dorm room Thanksgiving meal, the Nutcracker at Memorial Hall - Chapel Hill knows how to do the holidays right. 

9. ...Home for the Holidays

Where every relative asks for the hundredth time what you plan on doing for the rest of your life, meanwhile you're busy planning how much homemade food you can eat for dinner.

10. Homecoming!

We're playing 'hoo?

11. You sneaky finals!

How do they always manage to sneak up on us? All we want to do is celebrate the holidays and think nothing of blue books and scantrons.

12. Football fashion switches from sundresses to as many parkas as you can layer.

13. Your love for food grows exponentially. 

Starting with fried everything at the State Fair, to Halloween treats, to Thanksgiving to Christmas cookies, it seems that the colder the weather, the more delicious the food.

14. You become all the more thankful that you go to school in Chapel Hill, and not somewhere up north.

While winter may seem rough at first here, at least we know there's hope of seeing the light of spring before May.

15. Late Night with Roy

The shining beacon amidst the bleakness that is winter, basketball season, officially returns to Carolina on Friday, Oct. 25. Late Night With Roy features shenanigans and dances from all our favorite players, plus a scrimmage to get all fans excited for the upcoming season!

This year, the Class of 2015 is focusing on how we're Filling in the Heelprints, and making moves at Carolina and around the world. Do you know someone in the Class of 2015 who is making his or her Heelprint in a fantastic way? Did they have an amazing study abroad experience, intern with a great company, or make an impact through a student organization or program on campus? We want to hear their story and share it with the rest of the class on our blog!

As we rise into the junior class, we see just how big the heelprints of those who have gone before us really are. In the past two years alone, we've been impacted by great leaders, thinkers, innovators, activists, and most of all, great Tar Heels. 

Now it's time for us, the Class of 2015, to start filling in those heelprints. We're taking on new leadership roles - being the guides that helped make our beginning at Carolina so welcoming and wonderful. We're continuing projects and programs started by fellow Heels who have already graduated, making sure that each Carolina legacy grows strong. We're even starting to prepare for our careers, looking forward to that time when we will also no longer be students, and the younger classes will have to fill in our heelprints.

At the beginning of every year, the Carolina Class Representatives come together to choose a theme for the year. We hope that "Filling in the Heelprints" will serve as a guide for the year, as inspiration when these new challenges seem too daunting, and as a motto to unite the Class of 2015.
