Guest Column: Want to graduate with an excellent credit score? Get a student credit card

There is already enough going on among school, friends, family and daily activities that you don’t want to worry about finances and how you are going to handle them after you graduate. You are in college, for one thing, to earn a degree so that you can get the job you want — a job that will earn you a paycheck that you will try to make the most out of. But, if you graduate with little to no credit history or a bad credit score, then you could find your paycheck might not go as far as you want it to.

Editorial | While climate change is here to stay, deniers need to go away

In 2006, former U.S. vice president and one-time presidential nominee Al Gore released a documentary and book called "An Inconvenient Truth." Both the film and the book framed climate change as the result of man-made greenhouse gases, all delivered by Gore’s amazing ability to make a PowerPoint presentation compelling. Although climate change has been studied since at least the 1930s, the success of Gore’s documentary propelled climate change to the forefront of people’s minds.

UF has more to offer than just football

Speaking personally, football season at UF is the most fascinating phenomenon I’ve ever witnessed. The campus transforms overnight into an entirely new atmosphere, complete with elaborate tailgates, massive tides of orange-and-blue-clad families and endless optimism. Everyone’s a little friendlier and anyone sporting Gator memorabilia is automatically a new friend. These Saturdays have an almost religious undertone as students, alumni and fans alike come together to invoke the holy name of Gator football.

Hey Krishna, can I have some more?

Vegetarianism: It’s practical, and when done with panache, can be both good-tasting and good for your body. Magnanimity: While less practical for college students, it feels good and is also good for others.
