R U Ready? – A One Month Reflection

jat110496 September 24, 2015

As I sit here in the basement of Katzenbach Hall, at a time of the night I would rather not admit to (but the time stamp will probably sell me out, anyway), I began to feel quite introspective over my past month here at Rutgers University. Overall, I would have …

Five Things You Can Learn from that Bus Ride with Random Strangers

riddhimarao September 21, 2015

If you’re anything like me you tend to stare at people while riding that REX-B in the morning, not because we’re creeps, but because it’s simply human nature to make eye-contact with people who sit around you. But one thing I’ve noticed is that every bus ride is an adventure, …

An Egg-Cellent Idea For Colder Months

UA Comms Team September 20, 2015

It’s a brisk morning and you can’t seem to muster the strength to lift off the warm covers. The strength you require to pull yourself out of bed is missing. Somehow you manage, but the lulling pull of your bed still hasn’t released its hold on you. You are drawn …

The Food Journey

meherpandher September 19, 2015

Food is such a major part of my life. It can make me happy when I'm feeling down and it can make me feel like complete cow poop when I'm in a good mood. So when I first came to Rutgers, I was apprehensive about dining hall food. And don't …

What the Bus am I doing at RU?

Brooke September 16, 2015

UA Comms Team September 15, 2015

In what seems like the blink of eye, I’m returning to Rutgers this year as sophomore. Seeing all the freshmen moving in and getting settled is an interesting thing to watch as I was in their position a mere year ago. This year I’m older, wiser, albeit less excitable, and …

Avoiding the RU Screw

UA Comms Team September 9, 2015

You awake at 5:30 am. Your eyes flutter open with ease, regardless of the fact that you only received two hours of sleep. You decide that you still have enough time so you nod off.            The sun peers in, startling you. It's ominously silent. You glance at the clock, …

Do’s and Don’ts of a Rutgers Football Game

meganfoell September 9, 2015

Rutgers football is probably one of the best ways to spend a Saturday, especially here on the Banks.  60,000 people flood to High Point Solutions Stadium, everyone is decked out in scarlet red, and we are all here for the same reason-- to cheer our Knights on to a win. …

Keeping That Beginning-of-the-Year Vibe

dhheyck32 September 9, 2015

September is marked with an unique optimism from students—sweet dreams of 4.0 GPAs and stress-free commutes. There are high hopes for classes, weekends, and ourselves. We make promises to eat better, go to office hours, or finally join that sport. But by the second essay, high hopes plummet and we …

How to Survive College Without Gaining or Losing the Freshman 15

UA Comms Team September 5, 2015

Being in college for the past few weeks has shown me that college is not all about gaining the freshman 15, but also about losing it. Most people I know are too lazy to keep going to the dining hall for real food, so they live off of Easy-Mac in …

UA Comms Team September 2, 2015
