USF St. Petersburg psychology student William Nicks can tell you what you’re thinking about by studying blood flow in your brain. Anthropology student Elizabeth Southard spent the last two summers studying the social structure of the Gamo people in Ethiopia. Both students presented their studies at the Student Research Colloquium on Sept. 18 in the
Though smoking was banned on campus in Jan. 2012, not all tobacco smokers acknowledge the rule. Cigarette butts continue to dot USF St. Petersburg property, their owners not far gone. On Sunday, Sept. 8, after hearing a request from a student, Student Government Sen. Sophia Constantine made a post in the USFSP The Know It
Whether it’s the girl you spent the whole semester sitting next to but were too afraid to talk to, or the guy you had to admired from a distance in lab because of assigned seating, or even that special teacher you convinced yourself was always looking at you when speaking to class, time is running
Many months of planning culminated in a successful drive for clothes donations at the Fashion-a-Bull show on April 3.

“Spring Breakers” isn’t a movie; it’s a colorful mind-numbing experience. Director Harmony Korine (“Kids”, “Trash Humpers”) brings audiences into his depraved re-imagination of St. Petersburg for the next 90 minutes. After a lengthy opening party montage set to Skrillex’s “Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites”, the movie cuts to stars Selena Gomez (“Hotel Transylvania”), Vanessa Hudgens

While stars Jason Bateman (“Arrested Development”) and Melissa McCarthy (“Mike & Molly”) have shown quite a bit of comedic talent in previous films and television shows, the filmmakers behind “Identity Thief” leave them out to dry with script that’s not entirely sure if it wants to be a gross-out comedy, an action comedy or a
