What do people

drop on New Years?

By Ashlen RennerStaff Writer

From giant acorns to

giant pickles, many citiesand towns in North Carolinadrop their own objectsto mimic the ball drop inTimes Square signifyingthe countdown to the New

Year.For the past two years,

sophomore Erin Boehlerthas been celebrating New

Years Eve at Fir st NightRaleigh, the official nameof the symbolic acorn drop.In 2012, a r ecord 80,000

people counted down indowntown Raleigh as thegiant acorn dropped.

Its really busy, but its agood atmosphere, she said.Its good to be around peopleand celebrate.

Raleigh, known as theCity of Oaks because of themany oak trees that line thestreets of the city, has beendropping the acorn since1992.

For many, New Years

means more than watchingthe New York ball drop onTV.

Freshman Anna Pharesattends a New Years cel-ebration near her home inRichmond, Va.

People just fill the streetskind of like Halloween onFranklin, she said. Its prettyrowdy. There are a lot ofpeople on the roofs and a lotof screaming.

In Southern Pines, New

Years festivities have moreof a family feel. At the earlyhour of 8 p.m., the towndrops a four-foot steel pine-cone laced with lights.

Its a tradition, saidJessica Harrelson, presi-

dent of the Southern PinesBusiness Association, whichhosts the celebration each

year.They close off downtown

Broad Street; theres a DJand a band. Some stores stayopen late and serve food andhot chocolate.

Brasstown, a town pridingitself as the possum capitalof the world, lowers a livepossum safely to the groundat New Years. The celebra-tion also features a Eulogyto a Possum, a PossumIdol sing off, and a Miss

Possum contest.Mount Olive drops a

glowing three-foot picklefrom a flagpole in honorof the Mt. Olive Pickle

Company, a business thathas been a staple in the townsince 1926.

Junior Kacy Rhyne saidshe wished there were morefestivities for the holiday inher hometown of Winston-Salem.

A lot of people go to LakeNorman, she said. Its basi-cally like a normal weekend.

But Harrelson said NewYears celebrations havebecome something towns cantake pride in.

Its a production,Harrelson said. This year

we want it to be awesome.We want to t ake it up anotch.

Just today, this is actuallymy first experience trying topark on the street with the

new meters, and theyre evil,Jim Turner said.Though they were not

familiar with the towns freeparking policy on weekendsin December, both Jim and

Jean Turner said they likedthe idea of it.

I think it would be mar-

velous for the town and for itsvisitors, Jim Turner said.Well have to come back

for it.

Free Saturday parking in Chapel Hill this month

McGurk said the changewas added on top of the cur-rent policy of free Sundayparking. The partnershiphopes the offer will encouragemore holiday shoppers to visitthe downtown area.

Parking is free everySunday and on holidays, butthis is really the time that thetown offers free parking specif-ically to benefit the merchantsdowntown and the community

to encourage the local shop-ping in our downtown district,McGurk said.

Its a great partnership,and were really glad that thetown is willing to partner

with us.The partnerships latest

parking study, which was con-ducted in 2007, found thatcommunity demand totaled2,840 parking spaces, thoughthe town only provided 840.

Since then, the town hasadded the 140 West ParkingDeck on Rosemary Street,

which has 337 spaces.Lauren Martin, for-mer store manager at the

boutique Bevello on EastFranklin Street, said she

was pleased to hear that freeparking will be available on

weekends t his December.I definitely think it

would be good for business,Martin said.

Martin said she hopes freeparking will encourage peopleto be more willing to come

downtown to shop.We hear people complainabout parking a lot espe-cially the on-street parking

with the meters so hope-fully this will help with that,she said.

Jim and Jean Turner ofPine Knoll Shores said they

visit Chapel Hill frequentlyand they consider the parkingsituation in the downtownarea challenging.

A seniors advice for exam stress: Laugh in the face of finals

Inever told anybody, but I

secretly loved finals weekmy first year at UNC.

After a semester spentwondering whether I wasdoing college right, it wasa relief to know the answerhad been reduced to a simpledirective: Study hard, andpass a test. OK, I thought. Ican do that.

My appreciation for finals

didnt go away after that,either. They make me feelstudious and thoughtful likeI always imagined my collegeself would often feel.

Theres something unde-niably cozy about sittingsilently in solidarity withones fellow students, emerg-ing from hoodies and remov-

ing headphones at regular

intervals to get coffee refillsat Alpine.

Everything becomes somuch simpler during finals

week. When non-school obli-gations clear their throatsand tap us on the shoulder,the gravitas of final examshelps us feel perfectly justi-fied in brushing them off.

Its finals week, dammit,

we snap. Can t you see Imstudying here?

But I write this with somemelancholy. I am no lon-ger invested enough in myacademic success (Kidding,Mom!) to feel the finals spiritas fully as I used to.

As I walk through DavisLibrary today, I feel like anolder brother who exchangesknowing looks with hisparents while his youngersiblings rumble downstairs

on Christmas morning tosee what Santa has broughtthem.

Yet this is no ode to finalsweek. Like the ingredientsof a delicious cake, every-thing that makes finals greatalso makes them danger-ous in excess. The single-mindedness with which wedevote ourselves to these tests

Henry GarganOpinion Editor

and papers has the poten-tial to quickly devolve intounhealthy obsession.

Youll probably see lots of

listicles in the coming dayspreaching best practices forstress management.

Take lots of little breaks,reward yourself, get plentyof sleep. Do all of thosethings. Your emotional well-

being d uring th is try ingtime is more important thananything.

But Ive found the best

way to guard against t he

worst of exam s tress is toenthusiastically and, yes,perhaps a little ironically embrace everything thatmakes finals week so awful.Have fun with it.

Break out the sweatpantsand slippers, or grow yourselfa silly finals beard.

Drink too much coffee,even if youre with me inthinking it tastes like dirt.

Buy lots of unnecessaryoffice supplies and make flash-

cards because thats what thegood students did all semester,and you suspect they might beon to something.

Recall Harry Potter andthe boggart, and apply RemusLupins teachings: The onlything that can truly defeat theexistential crises that accom-pany such high stakes is tolaugh in their face.
