There is one thing we can all agree on: It will be hard to make it without Chelsea. So, farewell Chief. You have left your legacy here at The Current and will not soon, if ever, be forgotten.

Senior art majors display talent at exhibition
Abutoubeh said, “I made my piece hard to read so that you spend more time trying to decipher my message.” Cox’s pieces can also be found at the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale.
TEDx Ft. Lauderdale comes to NSU
“TEDx is amazing,” said Aguilar. “I think it fosters the mission of TED in general, fostering ideas worth spreading. Sometimes you need to start small. It’s a small event, but it can become something a lot bigger.”
$2.5 million reasons to get involved in campus life
The undergraduate population at NSU is approximately 5,000. Each student pays $500 every academic school year in student activity fees. This means that undergraduate students have approximately $2.5 million reasons to get involved in campus life. Think about it as taxes. When you become a taxpaying member of society, will you simply pay your taxes and stand on the sidelines while the government does as it pleases, without voicing your concern and effecting change?

Snowbirds: Great for the economy. Bad for everything else
One of my favorite times of the year is winter. The refreshing pause from the constant Florida heat, and the nice break from school is a winning combination that I welcome every year. One thing that that comes with winter that most Floridians find unwelcoming is the arrival of the snowbirds.
Letter to the editor
I am writing this letter because I feel that there may be other students who are going through similar issues. It is very difficult to coordinate medical appointments and outside dental places are not going to factor in that I am a full time graduate student and cannot afford to take off work to go to the dentist.
“Breaking Dawn: Part 1” revamps the whole Twilight experience
For those devoted fans who kept “Breaking Dawn” closer to them than the Bible, this movie did not stray too far from the actual storyline of the book — a taboo which is never appreciated. The movie kicks off with the pivotal moment when Jacob rips off his shirt (cardiac arrest, anyone?) in outrage over Bella’s wedding invitation. The scene cuts to Bella preparing for her wedding to the vampire godsend, Edward.
