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.
Bernie Machen is running the University of Florida into the ground.
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.

Remember that one-liner when you were writing your college admission essay or when you cast your ballot during the recent election?

Poor Stephen Colbert.
In response to the Alligator's Tuesday article "Ice cream shop opens today, will offer 11 vegan flavors," I would like to congratulate Payal Patel and Kyle Fick on the opening of the Karma Cream ice cream shop. By staying true to their ethical beliefs and featuring nearly a dozen delicious dairy-free choices, they are doing a great service to the community by offering diners healthier, more eco-friendly options. In addition to helping students keep off that pesky "freshman 15," by picking the vegan Peach Cobbler, Dreamsicle or any of the other dairy-free dishes, consumers won't be contributing to a lifetime of misery for a cow on a dairy farm.
In times of economic strife, hunger pangs have more to do with love than an inability to afford daily delivery service from Pita Pit.
While budget woes at UF have students and faculty up in arms over a murky academic future, the financial situation at Florida State University teeters on the horrific.
It's the biggest pity party on the Internet, and you're all invited.
