At UF, we are very lucky. Our Student Body is incredibly talented in a variety of ways. Many of our faculty and staff are nationally or internationally recognized in their fields. The awards and points of pride are vast and diverse. Here are some examples: Our Career Resource Center is ranked No. 1 in the country; our fishing club continues to win national championships; faculty make miraculous discoveries; our Student Alumni Association is the largest in the United States and much more. However, despite the many accolades and a tremendously caring community reminiscent of a much smaller institution, there still remain students in distress.
In a week's time, this campus, this oasis of knowledge and aesthetic splendor, is going to be slammed-packed beyond your imagination.

It's going to be like Black Friday had a drunken hook-up with a Harry Potter premiere - on crack.
