Like many other Gators, I was born and raised here in the Sunshine State. I’ve never lived anywhere else, so I am a product of the Florida school system.
Like it or not, as many of us are realizing, the school year is coming to an end. Though some students are still recovering from Spring Break, most are preparing for the home stretch — the last month of cramming for exams and quizzes and catching up on unwatched lectures. Some of our fellow students will be doing this for the last time.
During the 2012 presidential campaign, which was marked by an explosion of political donations from wealthy and corporate interests, casino magnate Sheldon Adelson was one of the biggest players.
TOPEKA — Fred Phelps, founder of the Westboro Baptist Church, passed away at 11:15 p.m. Wednesday. Confused members are already outside the church picketing his funeral.
One would think with the recent press coverage that a lot of progress is being made in Hollywood: Ellen DeGeneres served pizza at the Academy Awards, and Jennifer Lawrence got a pixie cut. It all looks pretty good from where I sit.
I was disappointed to read the column in the Alligator on Monday telling undergraduates to stay out of the university’s law library.

North Florida is home to the largest assemblage of artesian springs in the U.S. From Wakulla Springs near Florida State University, Ichetucknee Springs near UF, Wekiwa and Rock springs near the University of Central Florida and Weeki Wachee Springs near the University of South Florida, Florida’s adventurous college students know the springs are perhaps the best-kept secret to surviving the three-season heat and humidity typical of Florida and for finding a refreshing alternative to crowded beaches.
If you’re anything like me, a lot goes through your head when things start to get serious with the person you’re seeing.
