Recently, I’ve noticed that I’ve been returning home later at night, getting up earlier in the morning and having less time for breakfast, dinner and everything in between. Coming home from a long day, the last thing I want to do is feed myself. It just seems like making food will take too much effort and time. In comparison, my bed looks comfortable and inviting, and I usually fall right to sleep without giving food a second thought.

Halloween: n. the holiday excuse to dress up as a slutty schoolgirl, consume countless grams of sugar in candy and — since it’s a college town — drink until you actually believe you are the character of your costume.

The alligatorSports crew embarks on its first road trip of the 2013 season this weekend, heading down the Florida Turnpike to Miami — the general home area of a few of our staff members. While down there, we plan to check out the farm that grows Adam Pincuses. We heard rumors of a radiation leak in the area during early 1992, so we’ll keep you posted. Either way, we expect a pretty exciting trek down to the Magic City. Last year’s inaugural road destination — College Station, Texas, — gave us the collegiate debut of Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel as well as a pretty terrifying I-10 standoff with a pissed-off cattle-truck driver. If you’re traveling down along with us, stay cool, be safe and hit up your South Florida friends for a Sun Pass. This week, we have Joe Morgan and Phil Heilman debating the Georgia-South Carolina game.

I’m not sure whether my mom invented this dish or just claimed it as her own creation when my sister and I fell in love with it. As kids, we were not big vegetable eaters - I don’t imagine many children are. This was her trick to making sure we all had a well-balanced meal without the moaning and groaning that would normally accompany such a thing. However, we were more than happy to get our fair share of the food pyramid when it came to broccoli twist.

Maybe you’re about to start your first week of college; or maybe you’ll be returning to the same apartment with the same roommates. Regardless of how you’re feeling (dread, excitement, stress or otherwise), it’s important to start the year with your room and your roommates on a good note.

The buffet lunch at Indian Cuisine really exceeded my expectations. On my recent visit to the restaurant I was pleasantly surprised with the wide variety of dishes offered and the excellent flavor. Plus it’s all-you-can-eat for a reasonable price of $11.65.

Admittedly, I have expensive taste. When I, inevitably, become rich and famous, that won’t be a problem. I’ll have closets brimming with furs and garages overflowing with cars. Until this happens though, I have to make do with my rather meager budget, which generally entails making the money I earned over vacation last through the following semester. Consequentially, my expensive taste has often gone unsatisfied.

It’s been a long time coming, but Midnight Cookies has finally left its coveted spot inside California Chicken Grill for a new location at 3345 SW 34th St. — just a few doors down from Tropical Smoothie Cafe. The owner of Midnight Cookies, Jonathan MacAllister, said the relocation will attract more customers.

Being smack dab right in the middle of Gainesville, it can be pretty annoying to try to plan a beach trip. What is a poor soul to do when they want to plaster on the sun screen and get toasty by the water? Run through a nearby sprinkler? Buy their own kiddie pool? Dump a bucket of water on their head? No, they get their butt right on over to Ginnie Springs.

As a typical social media distracted college student, I often find myself pinning recipes and colorful pictures of fruit salads on Pinterest instead of writing my five-page midterm paper. I recently stumbled upon a recipe for banana bread with three over-ripe bananas resting on my kitchen counter.

In the debate over gun control, one of the ideas I keep seeing come up is that in homicide situations, the weapon is often a moot point.

The invitations have been ordered, family notified and a celebration dinner reserved at one of the best restaurants downtown. Graduation season is upon us, and while most students have their thoughts focused on life after they walk across the stage, it’s important to not neglect that one last task before you leave: moving out.

The demise of Hostess would have counted Twinkies as one of the victims of a tough economy, but it would have been good riddance, right? Sugar is for the weak.
