The woes of living off campus
By Morgan Benishek | Nov. 19, 2013The truth is, I didn't think I'd ever be going to UF. I was sure that I'd go out of state because let's be honest, Florida is way too hot and humid for my hair to survive. So of course, I'm the idiot that didn't apply for housing here.
