…You should too! Thanks, California for believing in online voter registration. I support anything that increases citizen access to the polls.
My family was sad to see Maryland exit the ACC. I’m glad to hear Roy Williams pumping this year’s matchup. There will be lots of trash talking – I grew up in the D.C. Area, where you pretty much pick either Maryland or Georgetown to root for, and my dad and my uncles are all still Terrapin sympathizers.
So excited for the season to start. Marcus Paige is a senior! Unbelievable – and awesome that he’s still around. I love that he’s joining the list of UNC greats who stayed for the duration. I get it – why leave Blue Heaven before you have to?

What Campus Safety Means to Me
In pdf format, in case anyone feels like using this in a classroom (if you do, let me know! There’s a contact form at the bottom of this post). Speaking of comments, I know this is a tough issue to talk about. If you are going to leave a comment on this post, don’t be a troll. I’m not interested in anyone’s misogynistic drivel. Don’t be that person. Wipe your mouth. Then say something worth saying.
