As I enter my junior year, I am on the cusp of finishing my last two laps before victory — graduation. Yet, when I look in the rearview mirror, I can already see what I'll be leaving behind.
The Independent Florida Alligator is looking for its next team of reporters, editors, photographers and more for the Spring semester.
In all the movies I’ve seen about college, classes have always seemed so magical. I imagined myself sitting in a lecture hall surrounded by classmates and listening to my professor teach as I took notes.
The end of Fall semester means the holidays are coming, and flu season is here.
My past travels and friendships across cultures inspired me to pursue this path, and with all my work documents submitted, everything seemed conclusive. What could go wrong? Well, everything — only because of my birthplace of Puerto Rico.

Before arriving at UF, I never truly understood the thrill of college game day. My parents were never particularly big football fans, let alone college football.

Women want a feminist who pays for stuff.
I don’t know you. But I want to give you advice.
The news that two missing Florida brothers were found safe in Georgia, just days after an Amber Alert was issued, is a resounding testament to a system that works.
Alligator Alcatraz, Florida’s contested new immigration detention center, is set to be empty within days. The facility, built in the middle of the Florida Everglade, has been the subject of at least three lawsuits since construction began.
I think we have all heard that aspartame, the sweetener in many diet sodas, has been found to cause cancer. Every time I order a sweet, crispy Diet Coke, my mom gives me that look and a mini lecture. But what if I told you the cancer risk of aspartame has been vastly exaggerated?
