College ends in realization, discovery

By CARLY HALLAM | Apr. 17, 2008

I've got new priorities. I'm holding onto old ways of life. The science of love is phony. The illness of Senioritis is real. I think men should be more respected by advertisers. I think women should be more respected in general. I like lifestyle changes to be small but significant. I like Moe's portions to be small but filling. I'm saying "bring it on" to the future and "back off" to Facebook. I don't like Gainesville all the time, but the sadness of leaving makes me break into rhyme.

Common disease affects productivity

By CARLY HALLAM | Apr. 3, 2008

Glory Hallelujah! It's finally the last month of school. This is really great news for anyone with exciting summer plans or a profitable job awaiting them in the real world. For me, it's good news for a number of reasons. One of them being my health. I have a severe and highly contagious problem that I'm sure won't go away until May 4.

Science of love reveals some truths

By CARLY HALLAM | Mar. 27, 2008

Since it's officially spring and love is in the air, I've started researching the "science" behind romance. While this information is worth sharing, it cannot begin to explain a concept more complex than the human eye and more confusing than the movie "Vanilla Sky."

High-tech dating leaves out the fun

By CARLY HALLAM | Mar. 6, 2008

The record album, the horse-drawn carriage, the abacus, the establishment of dating - that's just a short list of some things that have become obsolete. And here is a list what replaced them: the compact disc, the automobile, the calculator, high-tech dating.

New freedom comes with anxieties

By CARLY HALLAM | Feb. 28, 2008

Somebody save me. I'm having a quarter-life crisis four years too early. I've been in school since I was six. I have nine weeks and two days left until my graduation. But the only number that seems to matter to me is zero. That's how many job offers I've received.

Respect for all women still not reality

By CARLY HALLAM | Jan. 24, 2008

I spent this past weekend in Las Vegas with my mom and a friend celebrating my 21st birthday. My social status as a young female has never proved so beneficial. I skipped hour-long lines, scooted my way into VIP areas and received free lap dances from Australian male strippers (no, seriously).
