Halloween Gives Way to Creativity
It’s that time of year again. It’s the time to get out all the decorations to hang around the dorms, apartments and houses, and to celebrate the pure fun of the holiday.

Students See Change in Behavior as Weather Shifts to Winter
Does Weather Affect Mood, or is it Mind Over Matter?
We have officially reached the point in the semester when students are cranky and find themselves having to drag their bodies to class. Apart from a simple lack of desire to go, there could be another factor altering our moods: weather.
When is the Right Time to Put the Flip-Flops Away?
Students Continue to Wear Summer Footwear Despite Unfavorable Weather Conditions
We are all aware that flip-flip season is coming to an end. Or is it not coming to an end? Does flip-flop season ever end? Maybe the season to flip and flop is not officially over. I mean, I still wear them in my apartment, just not outside. Or maybe some people still wear them outside. How do we know when exactly to kick the flip-flops off and put our furry boots back on?
Students Adopt Unhealthy Lifestyles During College Years
Many Incorporate Poor Diets and Nutritional Decisions into Life After College
“You look…different.” I feel as if these three words are the most used and heard during a person’s college years. Being told that your physical appearance has changed can either be positive or negative. However, it tends to be the latter during a person’s four years away from home.
Step Away from the Shoulder Pads
Unfortunate Fashion Trends that Refuse to Go Away
Admit it: we all have participated in an embarrassing fashion trend. Let’s put it out in the open right now. I am totally guilty of wearing knee high socks, a Penny Lane dress, with my hair in pigtails when I was five years old, but, let’s not reminisce about my childhood fashion fiascos.
Trains, Planes, Automobiles: Ugly Truth of Sharing a Seat
Avoiding the Awkwardness of Sitting with Strangers on Public Transportation
I travel quite a bit. Whether it’s by train to NYC, by bus to and from Pennsylvania, or by plane to and from different states, I have had more than my fair share of hazily staring out windows. My rear-end has some not-so-nice things to say about that. On most of my travels, I have had the unwelcomed company of strangers sitting so close to me I could smell the flavor gum they were chewing. I even offered a few of them a piece.
Wisely Managing Time
Organization is Key to Management
It’s a month into school. You’re taking 15 credits, working, have club obligations, plans with friends, and still have midterms coming up that you haven’t even begun to study for. Sound familiar? In a world where everything is done fast and demanded faster, it can be hard to keep up without completely losing your mind. However, there are ways to ensure that you can do it all. You just have to manage properly. It is a hard task, but once it becomes routine, it makes life a lot easier.
School Spirit Sees Steady Decline in Recent Years
Do All Hawks Truly Fly Together?
Last weekend, the University had its annual Battle of the Buildings. My roommates and I were excited to take on the other teams and sport our amazing tie-dye t-shirts. However, when we did arrive there was a little bit of disappointment. The quad was quite empty and the teams only had about seven or eight people each. The occasional passerby would stop and cheer for their prospective dorm, but the pep was still lacking a bit for the afternoon.
Microwave Recipes Give Flexibilty, More Options
Dinner Made from Comfort of Dormget
There is definitely a stigma about microwavable food. Everyone thinks that the only food that can be made in the microwave is Easy Mac, Chef Boyardee, Ramen Noodles, Hot Pockets, Taquitos, appetizers, etc.
