With the buzz of football season and the excitement of the holidays passed, many see spring as the time to focus on their studies until summer break. Gainesville can be misleading to many students; without football festivities to attend nearly every weekend, many find themselves with more free time and fewer activities to fill it with. Although I love football season as...]]></description><link>https://uftoweryearbook.wixsite.com/uf-yearbook/post/fun-activities-to-do-during-spring-semester-at-uf</link><guid isPermaLink="false">699f362f12cb2e7c18f06e68</guid><pubDate>Wed, 25 Feb 2026 18:01:41 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9ef743_942bba39a19f4965989bcfc338454724~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>UF Tower Yearbook</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Freezing Florida: Cold Snap Forces Students to Bundle Up]]></title><description><![CDATA[By Reese Cummings Florida isn’t exactly known for freezing weather, but this past week Gainesville felt more like the Midwest than the Sunshine State.

After last year’s dramatic title run, capped by a comeback win over Houston for the program’s third NCAA crown, Todd Golden’s team is openly chasing back-to-back titles, something only a few programs in college basketball history have ever done and something Florida itself accomplished in 2006 and...]]></description><link>https://uftoweryearbook.wixsite.com/uf-yearbook/post/pulse-check-florida-gators-basketball</link><guid isPermaLink="false">697b77ce4c1c36a19b77db31</guid><pubDate>Thu, 29 Jan 2026 15:11:37 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9ef743_ad3a2cdaf2964b6abcdb52e2cea1059d~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>UF Tower Yearbook</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discovering Gainesville's Green Spaces]]></title><description><![CDATA[By Priyanka Harrypersad Gainesville's natural beauty is equally remarkable as its college-town charm.

In a way, the arrival of fall flavors at coffee shops such as Starbucks and Opus is as poignant and meaningful as the first day of summer break. It has surpassed the simple label of a seasonal drink, morphing into a cultural marker for an entire demographic: college-aged women.
