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. While I have a long list of romantic comedies I would recommend, there is one that will […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

For many years, the Common Core Curriculum in US schools included cursive writing. However, starting in 2010, cursive handwriting was taken out of the curriculum. Before the development of technology, cursive handwriting was important for students to master, but now it’s largely considered unnecessary. From my experience, it appears that the majority of students in […]
The absence of color! Sounds like an awful time to me! The “sad beige aesthetic” is a trend that was widely popularized by Kim Kardashian. The aesthetic focuses on minimalism, neutral colors, and modernism. I put minimalism in quotations because, though this aesthetic may appear simplistic, it’s actually a gateway to overconsumption. We have all […]
Monmouth University has many commuter and on-campus students, especially due to the new rule that started in Fall 2023 that requires freshman and sophomore students to live on campus. However, there is a third living option for upperclassmen. For students beginning their junior year, they have the option of living off-campus. Personally, I lived on-campus […]
