Layering creates new look for old clothing

Ching-Ya Ni, 19, a UF sophomore, masters the art of boho chic in this fun and versatile school ensemble. Her layered look adds new flair to pieces found in her closet. Ni says she doesn't follow trends, but she can't wait to pull out her fall clothing this season. Try looking through your closet and pairing clothing together in new ways to create a look for fall. Adding colored tights underneath flowing dresses or shorts takes a summer look and transforms it for the winter. Also, play with different sizes of belts and boots to add a little edge to the ensemble. Mix and match different accessories that will keep your outfits looking fresh for the entire season.

Easy, homemade chicken tacos

Welcome 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!

Eat healthy, cheap on the go

College and fast food usually go hand-in-hand, and UF's campus is no different than most other colleges. But outside the campus boundaries, Gainesville offers numerous options for eating out that are healthy, delicious and affordable.

Selfish sex results in karmic kick

Relationship 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

Before 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. She throws her arms in the air and sways her hips to the blaring music.
