Florida students at low risk for seasonal depression — but still get “winter blues”

Seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, is a type of depression that reoccurs in a pattern about four months out of the year — often during the winter. SAD doesn’t occur often among Floridians, with people from Alaska or New England more likely to develop the disorder. But many Floridians still suffer from a less extreme version: the “winter blues” or “holiday blues.”

A glimpse backstage with stars of “The Music Man” as they prepare for closing weekend

From Oct. 16 to Oct. 27, the UF School of Theatre and Dance put on a nine-show run of the musical, which follows traveling conman Harold Hill, played by Ethan Garrepy, who goes from town to town persuading citizens of his “plan” to form a boys marching band. After collecting payments for instruments and uniforms, he skips town, starting his pursuit of his next victims. But this time, it’s a little different.
