In college, finding easy meals to eat can be hard especially if you are an off-campus student, but also sometimes even as an on-campus student. The dining hall closes at a time when, if you have class from six to nine, you won’t have the opportunity to eat. Also, if you live off-campus groceries can […]

Why Summer is the best season
I believe that all four seasons have something special to them. Each season holds its own holiday, or its own special memory that makes it someone’s favorite. Each season holds a different kind of weather, different kind of picture perfect scene, and a different kind of love. But the season that I love most is […]
Get your study on at these spots across campus
Monmouth University’s campus has tons of great spots for studying; whether you thrive in chaos or need complete silence to concentrate, there is somewhere for everyone! Personally, my favorite spot to study on-campus was always my dorm room, but there are also several spots on campus that I believe are awesome study spots for students. […]
Disney or Universal?
I’m a bit biased when it comes to picking between Universal or Disney. For starters, I love Universal Citywalk and all the movies that the company produces. But ultimately, I’m a Disney kid at heart.My whole family on my mom’s side grew up on Disney movies and going to the parks; it’s been embedded throughout […]
You need both: grades and experience
School is about both grades and the experience. To find success in school, a person needs to balance the demands of one’s academics and social life. Personally, my academic scholarship motivates me to uphold my grades. However, being in college is very stressful, and being in harder classes can become overwhelming. It’s important to make […]
Are there “easy” college majors?
I think it’s hard to say that there is an “easier” college major than other college majors. Obviously, some are harder than others, but I can’t really say that there is one that is specifically easy.I hear all the time that there are easy majors and there are hard majors, but I just believe that […]
Leave participation points in high school
Throughout my time at Monmouth, I have noticed that many professors include attendance and participation as key factors in determining a student’s final grade. I believe that attendance shouldn’t be a big part of your grade but rather a very small portion of it, though I understand the reasoning behind why this is included in […]
A Thank You to My Role Models
I think that having to pick one singular role model is especially hard for me to do because there are so many influential people in my life that have shaped me into who I am today. Growing up, I looked up to many famous female athletes, such as Alex Morgan, Tobin Heath, Abby Wambach and […]
Does anyone really like their job?
It’s kind of hard to say that people genuinely love their job. The only reason that I say this is because there are some people that actually enjoy the field of work that they are in, while the majority of people are just in the field because it makes them the most amount of money. […]
Valentine’s Day is for Everyone
Valentine’s Day isn’t just about couples. I believe that over the years, a stereotype has formed around the holiday implying that only couples deserve to celebrate. Also, quite honestly, I believe that for most companies it is a money grab, but that’s besides the point. In my eyes, I never really cared about formally celebrating […]
