Sun, waves and babes: A Best Coast playlist for the Big Orange Festival

Since its debut in 2009, Best Coast has been the soundtrack of our breakups, beach-road-trip drives and hazy summer nights. If Taylor Swift is the pop queen of heartbreak and love lost, Bethany Cosentino is her cooler home-from-UC-Berkeley-for-the-summer older sister who always brings joints to the party. Florida fans of Best Coast can see Cosentino & Co. on Friday as part of Reitz Union Board Entertainment’s inaugural Big Orange Festival at 7 p.m. in the Reitz Union.

UF should observe National Alcohol Screening Day

Today is National Alcohol Screening Day, and more than 600 colleges in the U.S. will be holding free alcohol screenings on their campuses to help students identify any problems they may have with alcohol abuse. It’s a fantastic idea; after all, nearly 2,000 Americans ages 18 to 24 die each year from alcohol-related injuries. The annual screenings are hosted by a nonprofit called Screening for Mental Health, which advocates mental-health and substance-abuse resources to be made readily available to those who need it.
