7. Congratulations to your nephew!!!

That's fabulous! I got a scholarship for my junior and senior years in college (no stipend or travel, but that was okay) and I appreciated it so very much!

8. Tell him to be careful on Franklin Street.

Lots of temptations and libations. Not the easiest street to cross while intoxicated, that's for sure!


Big congrats!! He's a Tarheel now!!

Edit to add: He's Not Here bar is a staple of undergrad survival. They have cheap Rolling Rock on tap and Jiffy Pop popcorn's only about a buck.

9. I'll tell him

thanks :D

He's spent his whole life in a very small town in upstate New York, so it'll sure be a big change for him!
