Throughout my four years at Monmouth University, I’ve always classified spring semester as prime snowstorm real-estate. It’s almost certain that us Hawks will have to fly through one major snow storm during the second half of the academic year. 

Do you ever have those days where you feel like you just want to roll out of bed in your pajamas and never take them off?

Binge watch or go out? Um… Binge watch! Duh!

Everyone loves planning to go to different places over spring break. If you feel like you are missing out because you don’t have anywhere to travel to, here are a few destinations to check out for spring break.

Peace. A simple word, yet with so much depth. What does this word mean to you? What comes to mind first when asked this question.

We are all given a name at birth. Sherrill Rolland had to fight to get his name back. This is his journey. This is his remarkable story that I had the opportunity to witness and learn from, in more ways than one.

We’ve all learned that boycotting is a peaceful alternative to violent protesting, meant to have the same memorable, change-inducing impact violence has, but without the violence. Peaceful protests are what individuals have been practicing in order to compromise civil issues without the unnecessary brutality.

“The winner takes all…” Those are the first lyrics of David Glen Eisley and Bob Kulick’s smash-hit rock ballad “Sweet Victory”. Fans of the song including myself, however, felt robbed when the tune was played for fewer seconds than the time it took for the referee to throw the flag in the Rams versus Saints game.

I am the eternally single friend. I look around and see everyone in seemingly happy relationships and always feel like I am constantly exposed to public displays of affection between people around campus.
