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 […]
Opinion
Cats over dogs
In our world today, dogs are seen as man’s best friend. Dogs are obviously playful, energetic, and loving. However, they compare nowhere near cats. Cats are extremely underrated in our society because they are known as less social. This honestly just depends on the cat, and also how you raise your feline. First of all, […]
Get bang for your buck: Shop Ulta Beauty
As someone who spends an extensive amount of time shopping for beauty products, I have come to the conclusion that Ulta Beauty is the best store to spend your money. Here’s why: I personally don’t prefer to shop “luxury” or “high-end” makeup brands; I rather buy drugstore beauty products. That being said, who really wants […]
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 […]
“Some Kind of Wonderful”: the best rom-com of all time
As an avid movie binger and a rom-com enthusiast, I have strong opinions on which romantic comedies are good and which ones inadequately evoke the emotions I search for when sitting down to watch these types of films.

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 […]
The unmatched energy of March Madness
There are over 20 Division I collegiate sports played at schools around the country. Most of these sports incorporate some sort of tournament-style play at some point in the season, but none of these games can compare to the best tournament in college sports: March Madness. March Madness is the tournament all the Division I […]
Are there “easy” 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 […]
The top 8 hardest sports
I was an athlete my entire life up until college. I played and participated in a lot of sports including gymnastics, dance, volleyball, basketball, lacrosse, track and field, figure skating, cheerleading, cross country, and tennis (to name a few). Further, I believe I am the most informed and educated person to make an accurate list […]
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 […]
