Layering creates new look for old clothing
By LANE NIESET | Aug. 26, 2009Ching-Ya Ni, 19, a UF sophomore, masters the art of boho chic in this fun and versatile school ensemble. Her layered look adds new flair to pieces found in her closet. Ni says she doesn't follow trends, but she can't wait to pull out her fall clothing this season. Try looking through your closet and pairing clothing together in new ways to create a look for fall. Adding colored tights underneath flowing dresses or shorts takes a summer look and transforms it for the winter. Also, play with different sizes of belts and boots to add a little edge to the ensemble. Mix and match different accessories that will keep your outfits looking fresh for the entire season.

Easy, homemade chicken tacos
By MAXIM PETTERSEN | Aug. 16, 2009Welcome to college! You will probably be here for at least the next four years, on your own, without anyone to cook for you.

Selfish sex results in karmic kick
By BRANDT WILLIAMS | Aug. 5, 2009Relationship karma is karma's lesser-known and more sadistic cousin, and I assure you it is not lacking at colleges across the nation. With no shortage of sex-starved students, immorally themed parties and dollar-pitcher nights at the nearest bar, college is a breeding ground for screwing and - often - screwing over. But thanks to relationship karma, you can be sure that what goes around in your love life will come back around to bite you in the rear.
