An Ode to the J-School

I graduate in two weeks. Two. Weeks. Three and a half years of my life have been given to the J-School and it’s given me three and a half years of joy in return. The best part of the UF Center for Media Innovation and Research is the practical real-world experience it gives you. Students […]

The Tipping Point Review: A Deeper Look into Trends

We hear the phrase “everything happens for a reason” all the time. My mom used to say it when I would come home crying because of a bully or now when I get another rejection letter in the mail from a job I’ve applied for. When I read “The Tipping Point” from Malcolm Gladwell, I realized […]

Florida Gators Football Takes Bye Week to Prepare for Georgia

Dan Mullen knows he has a challenge coming. It’s the No. 8 Georgia Bulldogs. Now the Bulldogs aren’t as big and bad as they once were. Before last week’s 36-16 loss against LSU, the Dawgs were on top. Undefeated and No. 2 in the country. However, one loss seems to have thrown everything a bit […]
