I bet I know the answer.
Especially as underclassmen, we don't leave to go to the "outside world" very often.
Don't get me wrong. I adore the bubble. I will sing Carolina's praises all my life.
But there's more to Chapel Hill than meets the eye.
I found that out after my last exam in December. I grabbed my camera and took off campus on foot, little knowing that I would be exploring for the next three hours.
It was the most serene three hours I've had in a long time. Battle Park is one of my new favorite places in Chapel Hill. It's beautiful.
There are beautiful places in Chapel Hill besides the Old Well and Davie Poplar. Who woulda thunk it?
There's also a community center, complete with bike paths, playgrounds and this lovely piece of art that I think doubles as a bench.
So I thought, why not see what else Chapel Hill has to offer? And while I'm at it, why not venture out to Carrboro and maybe even "that town" eight miles down the road?
I've never been so eager to burst my own bubble.
