By JOHN SILMAN | Aug. 16, 2009You are new to Gainesville and perplexed by the throngs of drunk college hooligans swaying by your doorstep at 2 a.m. Or, you are back from your forced exile from home-cooked meals and motherly laundry service, and all of a sudden are forced to fend for yourself once again.

Easy, homemade chicken tacos
By MAXIM PETTERSEN | Aug. 16, 2009Welcome to college! You will probably be here for at least the next four years, on your own, without anyone to cook for you. Eating out can be expensive, and the meal plans will eventually become unexciting and monotonous. There is always the option to cook your own delicious food. This quick and easy to make recipe costs only about $10 for four to five servings and will hit the spot!

Selfish sex results in karmic kick
By BRANDT WILLIAMS | Aug. 5, 2009Relationship karma is karma's lesser-known and more sadistic cousin, and I assure you it is not lacking at colleges across the nation. With no shortage of sex-starved students, immorally themed parties and dollar-pitcher nights at the nearest bar, college is a breeding ground for screwing and - often - screwing over. But thanks to relationship karma, you can be sure that what goes around in your love life will come back around to bite you in the rear.

Zumba offers fun fitness alternative
By MEAGAN MCGONE | Aug. 5, 2009Before Erica Hyatt walks through the door, she is a chemical engineering major. She is a student at the UF. She thinks about homework and grades and meetings for the intramural softball team she is on. But for the hour she is in the room, she forgets all of that.
