Sophomore year is officially underway! 🐏💙

We just moved Peyton back to UNC-Chapel Hill, and this year brings a whole new experience—her first apartment, shared with three of her good friends.

It’s hard to believe how quickly that first year went by. We’re incredibly proud of the young woman she’s becoming and excited to see what her sophomore year has in store for her. The apartment is all set up, she’s surrounded by great friends, and she’s ready for another great year at Chapel Hill.

Here’s to a great sophomore year, Peyton! Work hard, make more great memories, and enjoy every minute. 💙
