My day starts at 11 a.m. when I roll out of bed. Some days I'll head to the gym, others I won't. I occasionally go to class. But the one constant in my life - aside from Leo's rolls - is the Alligator.
I first realized I was a technology-lover when I witnessed the power of Google. No more encyclopedias, books or effort for me, I thought. This six-letter word is going to make the rest of high school a piece of cake.
Amanda Butler walked into the postgame media area with orange-and-blue Gators flip-flops flip-flopping with her.
Today marks the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade - the Supreme Court decision that made abortion legal nationally.
Remember when the biggest televised event of the year was the Super Bowl? How about the World Series? Or even the premiere of Survivor?
One of my hobbies is blogging. Yep, I'm one of those people.
Swarming the National Mall en masse before sunrise, witnesses to history were not deterred by blistering winds and freezing temperatures.
Once again, the UF basketball team is listed in the AP Top 25 poll this week. Neat.
Less than a week after Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, Barack Obama will take an oath for the highest office in the land. He will do so surrounded by family and friends, members of our government and anywhere from 3 million to 5 million onlookers - all bystanders to one of history's momentous junctures.
Starting Wednesday, President Barack Obama must live up to his celebrated image.
It is easy to overvalue the present and immediately believe what you just saw is better than the previous "best." The trap always looms. So going into this debate, I took special notice to steel myself against the norm.
Your first sultry kiss of another's lips gives you goosebumps. It's exciting, nerve-wracking, but still an experience unlike any other. It's more memorable than that third one for sure, even if that third time around you were much better at the art of lip smacking.
There has been a disturbing trend toward fluffy, feel-good stories in the mainstream media for some time now. In the wake of President-elect Barack Obama's thrilling victory in the general election, this trend became even more pronounced than usual.
I assume everyone realizes why Martin Luther King Jr. had a day dedicated to his memory, but I know for certain this weekend will spark more shouts of, "Sunday fun day!" than of the more appropriate, "Where the hell would we be without that guy?"
Better known as "the bailout," Congress passed the $700 billion Troubled Assets Relief Program last October. This program was widely criticized for its sheer volume as it nearly doubled the federal deficit for 2008.
So begins another chapter of the Middle East conflict.
I still giggle at the thought of Steve Spurrier throwing down his visor inside The Swamp. That's part of his legacy. And the really funny part is that he would only throw it down once, maybe twice a game. Gators fans were happy he got that upset only a few times per game.
As the dawn of the Age of Obama approaches, the president-elect is moving to distance himself from the former president as quickly and easily as possible. What better way to spend his first day in office than by closing the prison at Guantanamo Bay, which for so long has been a symbol of the ongoing war on terror?
