As the semester comes to a close and graduation approaches, there are certain traditions and practices that have been past on to each senior class at UNC. One of those traditions is the annual bell tower climb. Seniors begin lining up early in the morning, once every year, to get a chance to climb to the top of Carolina's iconic bell tower, and leave their signature on a brick inside. As you climb the hundreds of steps up to the top, you get this feeling that only an elite few have made this climb. Of course the senior class does it every year, but still - imagine the thousands of people who frequent our little town of Chapel Hill who may have never had the chance to climb the bell tower.
This seemingly small part of my last week of class was the spark that flipped the switch for me. Up until this week, I was so ready to graduate, overwhelmed with excitement! Now that I've finished my last class and have just two exams left at UNC, those emotions have changed. I'm going to miss this place. Carolina has had my heart since the day I stepped foot on campus. I can't believe that in less than a month I'll be moving away for good. Of course, I know I'll be back, and soon! But nothing will ever compare to the four amazing years I spent as a proud student at the greatest university there is - The University of North Carolina.
