This upcoming weekend, on October 1st, the Florida Gators will be playing the Vanderbilt Commodores in Nashville. Many fraternities and Greek women are taking road trips to Tennessee for this big game, but not everyone can make the trip. If you are staying in Gainesville for the weekend it might seem boring, but there are plenty of fun things you can do to watch the game and have a good time.

1. Host a viewing party

If you want to be social, you can have a viewing party at your dorm or apartment. Make some snacks, invite your friends, and enjoy the exciting game in the comfort of your own living space. You can even make it a potluck to get plenty of food and try new things.

2. Watch at a restaurant

The Swamp or Buffalo Wild Wings are both restaurant and bars that will have the game on. People will definitely be at Swamp watching and having a great time. If you do go out, remember the game is at noon so places will be busy and it will be hot out.

3. Relax

You can always spend the weekend relaxing in your bed. It never hurts to have some down time, and it can be the perfect opportunity to study for upcoming exams. "Fear of missing out" might happen though when you see Snapchat stories of all your friends having fun in Nashville while you are in the library. But, it does not hurt to spend free time doing homework.

4. Viewing party with sorority sisters

It is really easy to get your sorority sisters together at your chapter house to watch the game. It can be just like you are really there with all your friends that you spend every other game day with. It can also be fun when the game gets serious and you have them to laugh or cry with.

5. Go to Midtown

If you are really feeling the FOMO, head out to Midtown on Saturday to enjoy the game and have fun with fellow Gators in Gainesville. It is easy to get from bar to bar so you will not miss most of the game and everyone will be really into it, making a great atmosphere that only the Gator Nation has.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
