Going to class isn’t as simple as our parents assume. There are exams to prepare and show up for, homework for five to seven classes to complete, and rooms of 20 or so peers staring at you during a presentation. There are many factors that add stress to students’ days, and many of them are harbored in the classroom. While many students face anxiety in the classroom, there are ways to quell the nerves and move beyond the fears.
Exclusive relationships are pretty rare among college students nowadays. Everyone is looking to explore their options, while there are a few select couples that turn heads. Then there is that other category: dating, but yet not dating. This is when things seem to get complicated hence the label “situationships”.

During college, there are certain “traditions” between students and teacher that we simply come to expect. The most infamous and well-known cliché is excuses. Specifically, a student making an excuse for themselves and seeing if a teacher will take pity upon their unavoidable calamity and not take off points for a late assignment.

Sweatpants and yoga pants are also, of course, far more comfortable than jeans, and in most cases can even feel warmer.
To most University patrons, Wilson Gardens is a nice little area. Tucked right into the side of the famed Wilson Hall, the Gardens feature awe-inspiring architecture, and is home to a set of fountains that look spectacular on the rare occasions they are turned on. The Gardens can be seen as nice, but are often overlooked in the daily bustle.
The dentist’s least favorite holiday of the year: Halloween. Tons of people in America share a love for the addicting taste of sugar and chocolate that sadly could result in cavities.

At the end of October, the air gets a little foggier, shadows seem a little larger, and the Monmouth campus finally becomes enveloped in the season of scaring.
With Halloween just around the corner, scary stories are on the rise, ghost stories being especially popular. All of these stories seem to have a building with an eerie legend around it, some sort of ghost left behind by a tragedy of years before.
Six Flags Great Adventure is one of the biggest attractions in the Monmouth County area and it’s located on County Road 537. However, there is another destination for people in the area to spend time with their families and friends just up the road from the popular theme park. If you drive past Great Adventure, make a left turn onto County Road 539 and drive a few minutes, and you will see a large open field on your left.
