A poll done by 56 UF students throughout the campus revealed that their favorite bagel is the everything bagel. In fact, out of these 56 students, 34 voted in favor of the everything bagel, while 12 voted for cinnamon raisin, 7 voted for asiago bagels and 3 voted for onion.

Some students who explained why everything bagels are their favorite said they made this choice because of how flavorful they are and that they are the combination of multiple flavors, which eliminates the need to choose just one flavor.

“Why get nothing when you can get everything?” said second year biochemistry student, Srikar Saravam when asked why he loves everything bagels.

Lucky for UF students, the Bagel Bakery sells freshly made, delicious and flavorful everything bagels in store and through Bitesquad. So, next time you UF students are strapped for time but really craving an everything bagel from the Bagel Bakery, don’t forget that we are on Bitesquad and order one from us. Or, take a study break with your friends and come in for one.

Now that we know what the favorite is among the UF students in our community, we want to know yours! Stop by today and tell us which bagel flavor you prefer.

Take a minute to think about all the people you know who are going through a rough time at work, have a stressful personal life or who are just going through something rough. You probably know many people who fit at least one of these categories.

Life can be stressful, but it is always nice to know that we have someone who supports us and wants to see us succeed. Tomorrow, Sept.12, be that person for your friends because it is National Day of Encouragement.

National Day of Encouragement first started in 2007 when a student organization at Harding University, a college in Arkansas, created this day to generate a culture of encouragement in the community. The idea became a sensation and was then added to the National Day calendar to be celebrated by millions all over the United States.

While there is a designated day to encourage your peers and be a source of positivity for them, the idea behind this initiative was to bring awareness to the concept of encouragement and inspire people to include it in their daily lives.

Come by the Bagel Bakery today and pick up some treats to go along with your words of encouragement.
