It’s a new year, and some of us returning Gators are returning with some serious baggage from the holiday season. When we leave behind our plebeian friends for the golden fields of Gainesville and our top 8 public university, a new life begins. Most students experience a departure from the old as they struggle through college to discover the new, and this departure often sentences old friendships to death by distance.
New evidence suggests that discrimination toward applicants with special needs may be taking place in charter schools.
Every ten years, a Revision Commission for the UF Student Government’s Constitution is called. The commission is generally regarded as a good opportunity to adapt SG to the changing needs of the student body, and I agree.
From the moment I first stepped onto UF’s campus, I had my sights set on The Alligator. I visited Gainesville for preview and made the trip out to the Gainesville Sun building. I carried a tote bag full of mangos from a tree in my backyard and a cheesy, excited smile. I planned to bribe my way on to the paper with fruit, charm and brute-force initiative. As I sat awkwardly in the newsroom waiting for five minutes with the editor-in-chief, the scent of day-old tropical fruit wafted powerfully around the room. I took a look around at the walls of the newsroom, amazed by The Alligator alumni and the history baked into the old yellowing pages tacked up in every corner. All I wanted to do was work here. It took me longer than expected, but I finally made it.

As a young feminist, I have often touted my independence. I mean, that’s what I should be, right? Independent? A woman on my own with nothing and no one to hold me back from my goals? For a while, I considered independence as the key to my success. And, to be honest, I didn’t mind that. That is, however, until I noticed an unsettling link between independence and loneliness.

"The stage is set for the annual festivities!” UF President Kent Fuchs screams in delight as the cameras pan around the familiar arena, showing 35,247 tributes with eager fingers ready to begin the hardest struggle of their lives. It is 8:59 on Monday morning, the 29th of October — class registration is less than a minute away. While there are significantly less murder and double-suicides during UF’s registration process, its free-for-all style and cut-throat tactics draw many parallels to Suzanne Collins’ massive dystopian battle royale (the Fortnite-before-Fortnite) “The Hunger Games.” As this time of year is upon us once more, I feel the strategies on how to succeed are important to share.
