Local vape shops lose profits due to recent tobacco law https://www.alligator.org/news/local-vape-shops-lose-profits-due-to-recent-tobacco-law/article_6033000a-42d4-11ea-bd9f-4f3ed2b963e4.html Vape shops are in a tight situation because the law raised the age to vape.

1. After reviewing my last assignments, I think there is an opportunity in the cleaning department. 2. Everyone hates dirty bathrooms. Especially when you have to use them consistently. When the bathrooms are not clean in dorms, it decreases the likelihood of anyone using them, which in turn is a cause for unhealthy students. The bathrooms are cleaned pretty regularly, but if there was a machine (like the rumba for floors) that could easily clean parts of the bathroom promptly, this would help not only the people who have to clean it but also everyone using it. 3. The prototypical customer would be another student who uses the bathrooms in the dorms. 4. Sabrina (two dorms down from mine) What is the nature of the need? Definitely not being able to shower when I want to because it's disgusting. It's a sanitary need, but I guess in a sense it is an inconvenience. How long have you had this need? I first recognized that the showers were getting gross last semester, but lately...

Since Sophomore year, I have wanted to pursue a career in journalism. Yes, dreams change, but for me, this has almost always been set in stone. Senior year of high school I was able to run a state journalism convention through the Florida Scholastic Press Association as the State Chairwoman and served as the Editor in Chief of my high school yearbook. Through both these opportunities, I gained ample experience, yet the one that has taught me the most has been one I never expected to occur and continues to inspire me. Halfway through my senior year of high school, a junior from another part of Florida contacted me saying she had seen me at the Florida Scholastic Press Association convention and was planning on making her own magazine. Her idea was to create a magazine for those to speak their mind outside of social norms and talk about important issues that aren't always highlighted in mainstream media. As much as I loved the idea, I knew having a student-run publication would be ex...

I did not face many challenges when making this bug list, because I think I am picky about a lot. It was hard at some points, but there is a lot that bugs me throughout the day, and thinking about it made me realize how I can fix some of these things and make sure they don't continue to happen. There was 10 things I easily was very bugged by, and the other 10 I think I had to consider more, but still found myself not having too much difficulty over things that I found annoying/bugged at. Overall I think the assignment was productive way to see what I am doing and how I can help myself not be so annoyed, even if it's not all things I can control.

1. When people talk loudly in libraries, especially in the quiet section past midnight. We are all tired, and it's the quiet section for a reason, so turn off Tik-Tok and do your homework so we can all go get some sleep. 2. When people use the wrong forms of there, their, and they're in journalism or anywhere. That is one of the most simple grammar rules, and it's annoying to see it happen. 3. Random strands of hair in the communal showers in dorms, ESPECIALLY when they just cleaned the bathrooms. 4. Anyone with body odor in nice places. At the gym it's understandable but if you are dressed up at a dinner or something related it shouldn't be a problem. 5. Florida heat/humidity. When I straighten my hair and 10 minutes later it's back in curls, the hour I spent straightening is nothing thanks to the humid air. 6. When there's a fruit bowl and all the fruit touches, I don't want my strawberries to taste like kiwi. 7. When people are late consistently...

Excited to begin blogging :)
