Go Tarheels! UNC Wins NCAA Title
When I was at university studying for my degree, I was lucky enough to have a compulsory year at a college in America. I spent it at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I was there from 2001 to 2002 and an awful lot happened that year both personally and in terms of the news (9/11). However, it was the most poignant year of my entire education. That is largely because I finally found out what it is like to have a loyalty and affinity to an educational institution. I hated high school with a passion. The two universities I have attended in the UK for my undergrad and postgrad studies were excellent and really gave me every opportunity to make something of myself, which I like to feel I have. However, the only educational institutin I feel loyal to was ironically the one I spent the least time at.
UNC will always have my loyalty and a special place in my heart… and I’m not entirely sure why! Unless you actually go to an American college or university I am not sure you can ever understand it. There is a different atmosphere and a different kind of spirit at UNC-CH to any I have ever experienced before or since. I may be English but Carolina Blue will always be a huge part of who I am and what I have done.
This is why I am still awake at 5.11am . I stayed up all night to watch the NCAA basketball final tonight and am pleased to announce that…
University of North Carolina beats Michigan State, 89-72!
Carolina absolutely dominated and were easily the best team in the entire tournament. They deserved to win. I’m just disappointed that I’m not with my UNC buddies in a bar somewhere watching it with them. I miss them so much. It may only have been a year but it formed much of who I am and I’ll always be Carolina blue through and through.
TARRRRRRRRRR!!! HEEEELLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSSSSS!!!
