Editorial: Although a time-honored tradition, cramming is counterproductive

lthough it feels like it was only yesterday many of us migrated back to Gainesville to begin yet another Fall semester, we are now in our fourth week of classes. In college, the passage of time is accompanied by both the accumulation of knowledge and the piling up of assignments, both of which are indicators that, yes, exams are right around the corner.

Column: Where did Walk Safe and other measures go?

At the beginning of last year’s Fall semester, a series of frightening assaults on young women took place on and off campus. I’m sure everyone who was at UF remembers these assaults; they were all over the news. The university sent out safety notices daily and UPD parked ostensibly empty cars on campus for long periods of time — I’m still not sure how much safety an obviously empty cop car guarantees, but I appreciate the effort.

Column: Wine blends are an abomination

The ancient Romans said it well: in vino veritas. "In wine, there is truth." If you’re drunk, you’re not going to be telling any lies; as they say, drunken words are sober thoughts. Today, I’ll be telling the truth about wine, specifically about wine blends.

Guest Column: Want to graduate with an excellent credit score? Get a student credit card

There is already enough going on among school, friends, family and daily activities that you don’t want to worry about finances and how you are going to handle them after you graduate. You are in college, for one thing, to earn a degree so that you can get the job you want — a job that will earn you a paycheck that you will try to make the most out of. But, if you graduate with little to no credit history or a bad credit score, then you could find your paycheck might not go as far as you want it to.
