The Filipino Student Association (FSA) at the University of Florida hosted its annual dance competition, Def Talent Jam! In its 24th year, the contest features FSAs from schools across Florida as far as Atlanta, Georgia, as well as showcase teams that are unaffiliated with a school.The competition develops not only creative talent and dedication, but professional skills such as coordinating and enforcing deadlines for the teams and seeking sponsorships from local businesses. Under the direction of Allison Malkiewicz and Clarissa Marie Zaide, the teams modeled their routines to pay tribute to some of Broadway's biggest hits such as Grease and West Side Story. For his first solo performance, Law Devera closed the show as the featured guest dancer, a member of the Kinjaz crew and Poreotics crew, which he competed with on Season 5 of America's Best Dance Crew.This year, due to increased support by the UF Student Government, the show was completely free drawing a record breaking audience of more than a thousand guests.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing.
