Ignorance is not always bliss when it comes to news

Over the summer, a lot of UF students had the luxury of living in a bubble. Some students spent the past three months in the woods as camp counselors. A few used their time off from classes to travel abroad to where they had little-to-no access to the internet. Others went on mission trips, worked at time-consuming internships or just spent their days sleeping for long periods of time. Basically, a lot of Gators were fortunate enough to be gleefully unaware of a lot of the chaos happening around them over the past few months.

Greek life is for some people but if it’s not for you, that’s OK

With the beginning of another school year comes something that is a mystery to most and dreaded by many: fraternity and sorority recruitment. As of last Wednesday, sorority recruitment at UF has come to a close. For many women on campus, the last week has been filled with makeup, dresses, heels, small talk and long hours. Girls from all over the country — and world — come to UF to visit each sorority house and find their homes and future sisterhoods through a process that could accurately be described as grueling and rather unpleasant.

There is a special joy in finding a major you truly care about

It’s a tale as old as time. Freshman arrives at UF for Preview. Freshman decides on a major that seems about right, appears to align with a future career or looks like it’ll rake in the cash one day. By the following Spring semester, freshman somehow feels even less certain about that choice and questions the factors that went into the decision in the first place.
