The “freshman fifteen” has become a common expression among college students in this generation. The notion that students will gain weight in college has become widely accepted simply by adapting this term. But what exactly are students eating that creates this phenomenon?
In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, many who live by the shore have lost everything. Freshman Samantha Barnwell, who lives in Oceanport, knows that despite having lost her home due to the storm, that it is important to be thankful for what we have, appreciate one another and to share the joys of past fond memories. Barnwell has lived in Monmouth County for all of her life and is very thankful to be from the area. “Growing up in Monmouth County meant so much to me. My dad grew up here with his family so it is very special to me. I remember building snowmen in my front yard in the winters, hunting for Easter eggs in my backyard, amazing fun filled summers in Lavallette, and playing in the leaves that my dad raked in the fall. I have spent 18 years in Monmouth County and I am proud to be from here,” said Barnwell.
Meet Jim Reme and Blaze Nowara, the University Photographers
Deep in the basement of Wilson Hall is the University’s “best kept secret on campus”…the Copy Center. But buried within the Copy Center, hidden in their kitchen area, is the University’s dedicated Photography Department. Jim Reme, the University Photographer, has been taking pictures on campus for 17 years, but his passion for photography started a long time before that.
