You have been awake since 5:30 a.m. and, after traveling for hours, you have finally arrived in paradise.
They have the FSU football team (which, as I learned recently, is quite the team to have). They have hot weather.
I am a self-proclaimed dessert-aholic. Chocolate of course, but ice cream and frozen yogurt too -- these are my favorites.
I am 21 years old, and I admit, I still like to play dress-up. When I was little, I would twirl and prance around in ballerina gowns, play princess, pretend to be in fairytales.

While Dartmouth grappled with its own cheating questions Winter term, Columbia University was facing the fallout of a much larger, eight-month-long honor code scandal involving lies, expulsion and court intervention. The debacle ended in suicide on Thursday, April 20, 2000, when 21-year-old Puneet Bhandari, a senior at Columbia, was hit and killed by an Amtrak Metroliner train in Iselin, New Jersey. The roots of the case, however, stretch back to the fall of 1998 when Bhandari was enrolled in the "Contemporary Civilizations" course.
