Recap: UF Wins In Overtime

On Saturday, January 14th, 2017 the SEC rivalry between the Florida Gators and the Georgia Bulldogs took place in the newly renovated O'Connell Center. According to floridagators.com, Coach Mike White said, "We need to be on edge." Mission accomplished! It was an intense basketball game for both sides- leaving the fans not just in the arena speechless and sitting on the edge of their seats with anticipation but in living rooms as well. This overtime victory for the Gators was a crucial win before going on the road to South Carolina. Saturday night's win for the Gators was their 5th consecutive SEC win this season, which left the Bulldogs to their 14th consecutive loss in Gainesville. How did the Gators go from an eight-point deficit in the second half to winning in overtime?

In the post-game discussion with Chris Harry and Mitch Gerber on floridagators.com, they discussed how Florida had a slow start in the first half, but fought for a lead in the second half by the help of the Gators bench and shooting from the line. I thought it was an interesting point because coaches often use running in practice to illustrate the importance free throws have in a game- but it was reality for the Gators Saturday afternoon. As was mentioned in the post-game discussion, not only did the game depend on the free throws that ultimately tied the game, but the bench contributed to a big part of the victory by putting points on the board. The scoring from Canyon Barry and Keith Stone made the game exciting to watch. Barry scored 27 points while Stone made a basketball career-high with 17 points. Together they not only kept up with the Bulldogs defense, but put the Gators over the "edge" to come out with a 80-76 victory on their home court. As a spectator, I'm excited to see what happens this week in South Carolina and the rest of the season for the Florida Gators.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
