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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

After watching many college games, I wanted to be just like the girls on those championship teams. I ended up playing […]

Oftentimes, most nerves come from being away from home for the first time or from adjusting to a new schedule; however, for some, the […]
Social media and technology have taken over everyone’s lives. It’s harder and harder to live a life without some sort of connection to the online world.
