Pairs made in astrological heaven

Cancer and Scorpio: If you know anything about astrology, you know this is the combination to beat. The connection between these two is almost psychic, like Raven-Symoné gazing into the future. As a double water sign combo, Cancer and Scorpio understand each other’s emotions while also filling in the gaps the other might be missing.


Summer Levinson, a 21-year-old UF marketing senior, and Robert Matias, a 21-year-old UF chemical engineering senior, eat sandwiches and watch the sunset over Lake Alice Saturday. The view was a change of pace from eating in front of the TV, Matias said.

Dating in college isn't as common as you think

As Valentine’s Day looms, a lot of us find ourselves fending off feelings of distress, frustration and loneliness. It’s not hard to be single the other 11 months of the year, but February offers a unique blow to the self-esteem of lonely hearts everywhere.

Valentine’s Day should be about love, not gifts

As a kid, filling out the “to” and “from” section of small cardboard Valentine’s Day cards from CVS gave me a rush. The best part was folding the piece of paper in half and diligently attaching the heart sticker to keep the card from revealing the sender. Those little Valentine’s Day cards told my classmates I cared and made my third-grade heart happy. But now I am much older and barely any wiser, and I realize that 1) the “rush” was probably from sugar and 2) we spend way too much money on Valentine’s Day.

Letter to the Editor: Why I did not rise

Last Tuesday night during our weekly Student Government Senate meeting, I abstained from voting on a resolution to recognize the installment of Juan Guaidó as the interim president of Venezuela. Not too long after, one of my friends called me out on Facebook. Then, Student Body Vice President David Enriquez did so similarly in a letter to the editor published in The Alligator titled “Stand Up for Students.”


“You have to learn that in the SEC when you get punched you can’t flinch, you can’t falter,” said Gators women's basketball coach Cam Newbauer. “We just kinda flinched a little bit at the wrong time and got away from what our game plan was.”

Georgia dominates Florida in rivalry matchup

Florida was down 17 early in the third quarter in Athens, Georgia, looking for anything to shift the momentum. An easy rebound floated up for UF, and a sea of Gator hands reached up for the ball. But the big paws of Georgia forward Caliya Robinson soared above them all to snatch the rebound and make the easy put-back.
