Students - congrats on your (hopefully) successful completion of move-in day.

The Daily Tar Heel ran a story a while back about move-in day from an RA’s perspective. While the article itself isn’t particularly noteworthy, take a look at the photo. The despondent looks on the mother and daughter’s faces are evocative of the entire move-in experience. If anything can destroy the hope and optimism that arise from a new year, it’s the soul-crushingly tiresome act of moving into a dorm room. And it can’t help that you’re moving into Hinton James.
