It’s a lovely, overcast afternoon in Gainesville. The sun beats away fruitlessly at the clouds that shield the Earth from a tropical inferno. Floridian humidity fogs your glasses as you step off the bus. You stroll toward the heart of campus with a textbook cradled in one arm and your Instagram feed clutched in the opposite hand. You, shining monument to the millennial spirit, are the Statue of Liberty of twenty-somethings everywhere — the shining beacon of social media savvy. You float along the sidewalk still glistening from this morning’s rain. Headed to Library West, you pass through Turlington Plaza. A ghostly, pale figure stands stock-still in the center of the otherwise empty, red-bricked patio. He raises his arm towards you as you approach; in his outstretched hand is a small pamphlet. On its face, written in wispy white letters, a headline reads:

Why are you running for this office?
The elusive picture-perfect freshmen year
(08/26/18 10:54pm)
Beer. Pizza. Partying. A stock photo of young adults sitting on the grass looking at a laptop. When we’re asked to think of what college is like, these are a few of the images that typically come to mind. The college experience, from a high schooler’s perspective, seems more like having fun than anything else. In movies and on television, the tests are studied for at the last minute. Parties are loud, drowning in alcohol and lasting until 3 a.m. But this is far from a sustainable, healthy lifestyle for anyone, including students. For all freshmen who are embarking on their UF career, be aware that the next four years will not be like they are in the movies. And if they are, you’re probably doing something wrong.

The expert’s guide to libraries
(08/22/18 11:34am)
Gators love their libraries. In fact, Library West alone has reported more visitors per year than the UF football stadium. Some students even take elaborate graduation photos in our spaces and declare their love by posting hysterical library related memes (yes, we see them). But how much do you really know about the resources and services the UF Libraries have to offer?
More welcome home, than welcome back
(08/22/18 2:17am)
As you take this year’s first steps across Reitz Union, through Turlington Plaza or into Library West, know that Gainesville, UF and The Alligator welcome you home. If this is your first time here, you’ll quickly become acquainted with what Gainesville has to offer. Prepare for the golden age between child and adult known as “college.” To those coming back: We missed you. Our town, schools and businesses are happy to have you back.
