FCAT, SATs, ACTs and the GRE: A standardized life and a scholar’s nightmare
This is my beef with standardized testing: It’s bogus — especially when you were unfortunate enough to have been passed through the entire Florida educational system. For those of you feeling the impending doom of the post-college life, I’m right there with you. Graduate school sounds like a fantastic escape from the “real world,” right? Ehh, not when you step out of a GRE testing center.

Most of the food options don’t offer readily available nutritional information to students and tend to charge high prices for items that appear to be healthy alternatives.
