I am currently writing my thesis in a twocolumn environment
For a large table i switched to onecolumn which makes it start on a newpage.
However when i wrap
tabular in a table environment I get an extra blank page before the start of the table. How can i remove this?

begin{center}
begin{table}
   caption{Table 1}
   begin{tabular}{l l l c l}
   end{tabular}

   label{tab:my_label}
end{table}
end{center}

I didn’t expect the extra blank page.
