Letter to the Editor: Let's talk graduation
(09/18/18 9:22pm)
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.

I am the Student Government sugar daddy
(09/13/18 11:54pm)
If you ever are unfortunate enough to be my friend on Facebook, you will often see me livestreaming Senate meetings Tuesday nights. It’s been a responsibility I’ve kept up with for the past couple months. It led up to last Tuesday night, when I went up in public debate and, via limerick, presented Student Government with an iPhone, so they can’t say they don’t have equipment for future livestreaming endeavors.

Darts and Laurels: Sept. 7, 2018
(09/07/18 10:29am)
The front entrance to the Reitz Union swims in your vision as heat waves radiate off the light gray moonscape. “What better treat for a sweltering afternoon than an extra large frozen yogurt?” you think to yourself. What better time than now? Who more deserving than you, out of breath and minutes from heatstroke? A tepid bead of sweat leaves your scalp and wanders down your forehead. It nearly freezes solid when you break the airtight seal on the union doors and are blasted with chilled air. The delicate scent of Wendy’s fries begs you to keep walking, but you marshal your thoughts and step into the elevator. It gently pings and sends you downward.
