Somewhere between renting a minivan in Tulsa, Okla., and scarfing down chicken and waffles at 2 a.m. in downtown Atlanta, I realized I have no qualms about saying this has been the best four years of my life. I also have no problems saying my senior year has been the highlight of those four. It's not even close.
For the typical all-world quarterback, the spoils of gridiron war often include a proverbial "get out of jail free" card - turning college towns across the country into their own personal camps run-amok.
Conservative voices in government and in the media seem to be convinced that President Barack Obama's foreign policy stance is decidedly pansy. Bowing to the Saudis, shaking hands with Chavez and agreeing with European leaders has cemented Republican opinion that Barack is a sissy on the world stage.
I found the title of Friday's opinion column titled "Bitter Teabaggers Ignored President's Package, Tax Cuts" to be very ironic. Jake Miller does make an extremely valid point about the frightening number of people ignoring the real implications of the president's package and tax cuts.
Providing a quality tutoring service to all the students at UF is important, and I don't think anyone would disagree that it is a great idea for Student Government to promote tutoring; however, SG is supporting the wrong establishment.
One decade ago today, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold challenged the idyllic ideology of Americana, awakening a generation caught sleepwalking through the throes of life.
Cox Cable should be ashamed of itself.

After a semester of suburbia-suffering teens pulling pranks on unsuspecting Taco Bell employees to a tree shaped in the likeness of resident demigod Tim "Have you seen his girlfriend?" Tebow, the Department of Darts & Laurels refuses to believe it's time to bid you Freddy Adu.
Get ready for an ugly Orange and Blue Game.
With Earth Day approaching, some people may be advocating against unnatural forms of crop production, but consumers need to realize that even organic farming utilizes insecticides.
By majoring in a field that places a heavy emphasis on the proper use of language and simultaneously being a since-birth member of Generation Y, Z, XXX or whatever the hell we're called, I'm caught between a rock and a hard place. Everywhere I hear people horrendously butchering the language I've spent the last 20-odd years trying to understand.
Wednesday was Tax Day in America. Like many of my collegiate peers, I paid very little in taxes. In fact, my parents still claim me as a tax deduction, which means that my very existence produces red ink for Uncle Sam. This may be a satisfying fact to remember as I watch the mailman pick his nose, but it hardly qualifies me to preach the virtues of taxation. In reality, I am almost completely divorced from the modern American reality of paying taxes.
Dear Jordan Johnson, aka student body president-elect:
Let's be honest. The UF baseball team isn't a national contender, and Kevin O'Sullivan hasn't turned it into a powerhouse overnight. He's not a miracle worker.
UF is going through a tough period. It's not exactly surprising: The economy is in the gutter, so Florida (along with everywhere else) is losing revenue.

Poor Stephen Colbert.
