There seems to be a sense of pride when I would see a gator and "Florida" plastered across a hat. Needless to say that, as a young Floridian, I was drawn to the Gator spirit. I did not know anyone who attended the college and so my admiration was loosely based on vague opinions, blurred pride. So I started to dig a little deeper, not the traditional ways, nevertheless, I took advantages of every last social medium and articles to learn more about the school. I perused over online catalogs and…

My mom got it for me to help me stay energize I got to drink Gatorade throughout each challenge. It helped me quench my thirst. I had heard of Gatorade because in my elementary school they sold Gatorade and everyone would get Gatorade. I had the cool blue flavor. The flavor was so sweet it was like I was drinking juice.

Tebow was very well known for one pose that he did after every touch down. It was a pose in which he would get down on one knee and say a quick prayer. He receive a lot of hell from critics about that pose. According to the media, that pose was not appropriate to the…

Is Gatorade commercial more than an advertisement? I remember a time where I was just drinking a nice cold Gatorade just because I was thirsty, my boyfriend, Jha’kobbi, was with me and he said to me, “You can’t drink Gatorade unless you’re sweating.” I refused to believe him until I decided to do a little research on Gatorade.
