Leather jackets, combat boots, ripped jeans: the quintessential “rocker” outfit. And the best thing about this apparel? It emerges in the fall, amongst the changing leaves and the dropping temperatures.

Striving for Success from the Start
The ticking of the clock sends a zap of panic as you try your hardest not to stay behind on studies. You become preoccupied with finishing your assignments with nothing less than pure determination. So you paste inspirational quotes on the walls of your dorm room in hopes that you will find the motivation to make it a great semester. And this cycle repeats every September.
Five of the Best Bands You’ve Never Heard Of
Unfortunately, many brilliant bands get buried by the success of mainstream artists. Here are five obscure bands that deserve to be in the modern music spotlight.
Siblings By Blood, Friends By Choice
Growing up with an older brother meant growing up with a best friend. Although he is two years older, it seems as if we are twins; we have the same mannerisms, the same personality, we understand each other like no one else does, and some even say that we look alike. I even followed his footsteps in becoming a Monmouth Hawk, since we always knew our university would be the perfect fit for the both of us.
Making the Best of Your Aesthetic Requirement
One of the biggest arguments against the aesthetics requirement is that it won’t be necessary in a future career. However, aesthetics classes such as art, dance, music, and theatre teach us important things that can’t be taught in other general courses.
Good Eats Near Monmouth
Sometimes, we all need a change of pace when it comes to breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Although the student center and dining hall offer various food, it’s nice to explore the area around our school for a bite to eat.
Breaking the Distance
Maintaining long distance relationships, both friendly and romantic, is something that every college student can relate to. Most of us have friends who attend college in other states, and even friends who study abroad. As college students, we are always busy with homework, studying, sports commitments, and attending club meetings without finding time for communicating with friends who live far away. However, in this day and age, communicating with friends is easier than ever.
The Life-Saving Benefits of Donating Blood
The importance of donating blood is underestimated by some and disregarded by many. Donating blood is more significant than people realize; those in need of surgery as well as those with severe diseases and injuries are the primary recipients of donated blood. In fact, your own classmates may one day be in need of a blood transfusion.
Rock ‘N’ Roll Is Here to Stay
Music: it keeps the world turning. There are so many genres of music available for us to listen to; pop, rock, R&B, metal, indie, country, and electronica, to name a few. However, there is only one genre that stands out from the rest, the one genre that remains eternal; rock and roll.
Why Thanksgiving Is The Best Holiday
I know we all dread the “how’s college?” question our families always ask us on Thanksgiving. If your family is as crazy as mine, you’ve experienced the cousins fighting over food, the adults arguing over politics, and overall everyone trying to talk over each other at the dinner table.
