Trent Whittemore has only ever had his sights set on one goal. He came of age just a few miles down the street from Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. He patiently waited for that call from the University of Florida.
What was that noise?

The brick-red buildings on campus are usually alive and buzzing, but tonight they are muted and sleepy as you jog out of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. The whole campus is hibernating. The rattle of a lone scooter can be heard in the distance. Spanish moss sways in the late-night breeze. It’s not nearly as hot as during the day, which is why you like to run the stadium steps in the dark like some sort of small Saharan mammal avoiding the midday sun. Your quads burn. But after all that exercise, you need nourishment. Across the street from you, fluorescent lights shine like a beacon through the foggy windows of Gator Corner Dining Center. Condensation from the humid air frosts the glass, obscuring the inside. It seems oddly empty.
Let’s talk about graduation. In the last couple of weeks, UF President Kent Fuchs’ office released documents stating that graduation will no longer be the same. All UF graduates will now attend two graduation ceremonies. The first will be a combination of every single college in the Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, and the second will be hosted by each individual college. The announcement resulted in an abundance of angry, outraged students. Considering the number of petitions and Facebook posts that started surfacing left and right, this may be the first time in a long time that a majority of this campus agrees on something. Last week, Anthony Rojas, whom I assume is the leader of the new movement #BringGraduationBack, went to the Student Senate meeting and made an appealing argument for why Fuchs should keep graduation intact. For one, I strongly agree with Rojas and others on the matter of graduation and why it should not be changed. As someone who belongs to two different colleges, with this change to graduation I will have to attend three different ceremonies rather than just two. This is inconvenient for my family and I, who deserve to see my name boldly on the screen as I cross the O’Connell Center stage.
