Cracking open a cold can of soda with your meal is something so blissfully American. Pairing a Coca-Cola with a greasy burger may as well be considered elite cuisine here in the States. Though while standard sodas taste great going down, they might upset your stomach later. Thankfully, recent food scientists have created alternatives that aim to fix gut health rather than scramble it, all thanks to microscopic bacteria.

From BBL to weight-watchers — body types are trendier than designer labels. Celebrities are using their bodies as marketing tactics, and the media is falling for it. First it was the Tumblr skinny, then it was Kim Kardashian’s hourglass and now it’s the “it-girl” aesthetic. Using body types as trends curates disordered eating and unhealthy body images, so when can we finally put romanticizing thinness to bed?

From recently entered first-year students to seniors just a few short months away from graduation, it’s no surprise that the University of Miami is full of players. Why be tied down when there is so much to explore and many people to meet?

But if you want to pursue a healthy relationship with anyone, proper communication is key. Without it, there is no hope for a genuine connection.

The question of whether playing violent video games causes aggression has long been examined by scientists, parents and psychologists. Teenagers battling and killing animated characters for hours every day may seem vigorous, but does it affect real behavior? In a debate so prevalent yet so indecisive, what’s fact and foe? We are here to get to the bottom of it.

Over the years, collectors have found different things to stock up on. Trading cards, action figures, coins and stamps, just to name a few. A popular item that has become a more mainstream horde are sneakers. From Yeezys to Air Jordans, shoes can be used as an accent for every outfit. They have become a staple in just about everyone’s closet. From trading sites to collectors, sneakerheads have created their own network.

Of all the fashion trends out there, bloke core might sound like one of the weirdest. First, you need to know what a bloke even is and how it originated. Get your game on and buckle up, because you’re about to learn a little something about our friends across the pond.

To some, gossip is its own form of currency. You never know when a casual social event will turn into an exhibition of shared secrets. Let’s be real — if you go to the University of Miami, you’ve probably overheard some campus gossip. But why do we engage in gossip culture? Is it just a fun way to pass the time, or is the urge to gossip imbedded in our DNA?

Forget about that bright blue vodka that’s essentially a hangover in a bottle. This summer, the liquor we’re ~responsibly~ consuming is authentic agave tequila. With an arduous production process and reputation for inspiring wild nights, this national spirit of Mexico encapsulates Miami’s work-hard-play-hard lifestyle. Get ready to trade your go-to vodka cran for a paloma or margarita—this is your crash course in understanding tequila and how to mix it up just right.
(cocktail recipes included!)
