LeBron has a right to be mad at Saban
By Andrew Huang | Apr. 9, 2018I was reminded of a scene from the 2007 crime-drama “American Gangster” last week when I heard about the drama between LeBron James and Nick Saban.

As the semester hits peak amount of work, start thinking strategically
Apr. 8, 2018Ah, yes. The March and April wave of work has crashed upon our shores once again. We’re entering that part of the semester when suddenly we have so many assignments due, some of them must be in classes we’re not even taking. But never fear.

When a water shortage comes, toilet-to-tap water will be a solution
Apr. 8, 2018Some may think toilets have a “magic flush.” One does their business, flushes the toilet and the wastewater just disappears. That’s how much people would like to think about it because most wouldn’t want to know more about what happens to “poop water” once it’s flushed.

Safety outweighs privacy with mental well-being
Apr. 8, 2018In March, the survivors of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, returned from Spring Break to a new set of security measures. Perhaps the most notable of these new measures is a requirement to use a see-through backpack.

Gainesville is not as welcoming as it claims to be
Apr. 5, 2018Two years ago, Gainesville declared itself a welcoming city. However, a recent incident with the Gainesville Police has shown it may not be all that welcoming.

So you want to get more funding for the DRC and the CWC?
By Zachariah Chou | Apr. 5, 2018I was quite disappointed to see the feature Friday article from last week detail the blight of insufficient funding for the Disability Resource Center on campus. The article made reference to the decision by the local fee committee not to increase funding for the DRC back in October, which brought back a lot of bad memories, as it was that very same meeting in which the committee turned down an opportunity to increase funding to the Counseling & Wellness Center.

Why did digital downloading die?
Apr. 5, 2018A recently released Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) report revealed physical music sales surpassed digital downloads in 2017 for the first time since 2011. The difference is only 2 percent, but it is still significant. It is an indicator of the two factors that killed digital downloading: the rise of vinyl and the dominance of streaming.

What the hell does “Herky-Jerky” mean?

A much needed ode to brick-and-mortar shopping
Apr. 3, 2018In the age of Amazon and a seemingly endless amount of one-touch shopping apps, it’s not exactly shocking that many storefronts are saying goodbye and shopping malls are struggling to stay relevant.

Delete Facebook — it may make you feel better
Apr. 1, 2018Over the past few weeks, #deleteFacebook has been rampant across the web. Cambridge Analytica, a political data-mining and consulting firm, got a hold of the personal information of 50 million Facebook users. It may have later used the information to craft ads and messages for President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign. Now, according to a survey from Raymond James investment firm, 84 percent of users are somewhat or very concerned about how their data might be used by Facebook. However, nearly half of these people said this would not affect how much they use Facebook.

We're not ready for driverless technology

College students, proclaim your independence in your health care
Apr. 1, 2018College is the time to spread our wings, gain independence and discover who we are. However, sometimes the unexpected occurs and changes plans. More often than not, we are not prepared for that and we find ourselves in trouble. This happens because we spend too much time planning one day at a time and don’t stop to think about the “what-ifs.”

‘The Office’ doesn’t get love and relationships right
Mar. 27, 2018This past weekend, I watched a lot of episodes of “The Office.” Episodes of this show are like potato chips — just one is never enough. And, pretty soon a third of the bag is gone. That’s how this weekend went for me: I blinked, and I’d watched five episodes in a row.
