Sometimes you just need to go out for a Sunday drive.The adage is cliche, but it is one of those activities that helps to clear one's head before another dose of the daily grind takes its toll.

While driving through scattered showers and standstill traffic on Interstate 35 with a couple of my close friends, we took the time to realize how nice it is to sit down and relax.

Men's golf came out swinging in its first tournament of the season but fell short in finishing in the top half of the Inverness Intercollegiate, finishing ninth out of 16 teams.

No. 20 Florida State ended up winning the event with a team score of 10-over.

Still there are 20 students without fixed housing and all of them are male.
