Don't even talk to me about deadlines. At this point, I'm a deadline professional. Without them, I'd be lost. I've relied on major deadlines for most of my education.
In Palm Bay, Nick Martinez recently found out by being suspended that his school, Southwest Middle, does not tolerate public displays of affection.
After talking to people in my classes, I find that few know very much about something called a 401(k). How we use it will determine who among us are millionaires at retirement and who will live in poverty. Our grandparents got pensions and worked for the same employer for 30 years. We will be given the option to use one of the most powerful financial tools ever created for retirement, but some will succeed wildly and some will fail miserably. When you go out and get a job after graduation, funding a 401(k) should be near the top of your priority list.
I would like to thank the Alligator as well as the authors of "Obama is No Better Than Che Guevara" for providing one of the best "fake news" articles this side of the Onion. Their send-up of the intellectual inconsistency and naïveté of the extreme left was nothing short of sidesplitting. I mean, how could anyone read an article defending mass-murdering tyrant Muammar Gadhafi as a leftist hero and not indulge in a hearty chuckle?
This past Tuesday, I witnessed a couple on a Route 36 bus "first-basing it" while a guy sitting across from them stared intently, jostling his naughty bits.
Let's face it. People who buy artificial Christmas trees are just plain un-American.
Two weeks ago, I wrote a column about Herman Cain. My point was simple: Cain is not really a viable contender. We all know it, and humoring another GOP sideshow is just allowing for more eccentric antics that distract from what should be a serious discussion about the person who will likely become the next president of the U.S.
On behalf of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1579, I would like to express our condolences to Mr. Abdellatief and his family for the trauma and injuries he has suffered and express our wishes for his full recovery.
In the 1980s, law enforcement officers in Minnesota used a beeper radio transmitter to track a man suspected of purchasing chloroform to make illegal drugs. The police tracked the suspect to his cabin in Wisconsin, where he was arrested.
Sometimes, life can suck.
I imagine Gator Dining officials are all very excited about UF's place in the final round in this year's ranking of the most vegan-friendly colleges in the nation. If only those University of California Santa Cruz hippies would go away and let us win. Even if we lose, second place is pretty darn good, so congratulations.
On behalf of Florida Blue Key, allow me to share my heartfelt appreciation to our extended Gator family for continuing to turn out and support Gator Growl. We hope you enjoyed Friday's show that so many students worked tirelessly during the last year to produce. Gator Growl is an incredible and unique UF tradition.
In our Oct. 24 issue, we sided with an atheist Rhode Island student who claimed that her school was violating the First Amendment's establishment clause. In the school, a mural depicting a prayer hung on the wall and was titled "School Prayer." It was also Christian in nature, clearly violating the establishment clause of the Constitution.
My mom has worked in Hallmark stores for as long as I can remember. By this point, I've learned almost as much about the company as she has.
Recently, two UF students were found guilty in a courthouse, but not by a jury.
The sirens blared, the horns honked and the whistles ... whistled.
In case you live under a rock, it's Homecoming weekend here in Gainesville. Due to this important, historical event that happens once a year, classes, for the most part, have been canceled.
A longing for political liberty has fueled many of the recent uprisings in Arab and North African countries. First the efforts of protesters in Tunisia to oust President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali caused a massive chain reaction. Neighboring countries gazed at the willful power of their peers across the border and quickly developed their own anti-government demonstrations. Not long after, government opposition from other countries, including non-Arab countries, began to show their faces through similar protests. In particular, a resonating voice screamed across the world: If Tunisia can do it, so can we. Social media echoed this spirit via audio and video clips and live on our computers, televisions and cellphones.
I was enraged by the article titled "Occupy Gainesville, Occupy UF pair up for demonstration."
In Rosemary Daniels' guest column, she stated her opinion that a woman's right to have an abortion is unalienable.
