As a smoker on campus, I have been told to move to beyond 50 feet by a UF employee. Not nicely or properly, but in the form of walking by, saying "50 Feet!"
Here at the Editorial Board, we like money, and we aren't afraid to admit it.
Here's some breaking news for you: Going to college plus making noise with your mouth does not equal saying something intelligent. Shut up - I'm tired of hearing you blabber.
The ticketing system employed by the University Athletic Association has more than lived up to its irritating reputation this semester.
First, we would like to send a we-know-we-gave-you-a-hard-time-but-extended-hours-aren't-the-worst-idea-ever LAUREL to UF for the later closing times assigned to the libraries during the week of finals.
Daniel Seco's column made me "aw." And not the sarcastic, "poor baby, want a bottle?" kind of aw. I can sympathize because I feel like I've been there.

Congratulations college students of Florida (the state, not the university of), your state's educational report card isn't refridgerator-worthy.
