Earlier in the semester I wrote an article about Facebook and it generated quite a bit of buzz. I tried (unsuccessfully) to ween myself off of Facebook. It lasted for about a month, and then I felt left out and went crawling back.
I still have a lot of the same issues with the website, but I'm learning to deal with it; however, the one thing ...
On the uncharacteristically warm evening of November 4th, 2008, Barack Obama was declared the winner of the election around 11 PM, and deliriously overjoyed college students flooded the streets of New Brunswick in celebration. Most were drunk on happiness (and in general) as they passed through downtown New Brunswick. After our happy mob swept t...
Sarah Modiano (Rutgers '08) is quite a character. She's not only great fun to have at parties, a warm and hilarious presence, but also one of the most ass-kicking-capable women who went to Rutgers.
Formerly a prominent member of the Rutgers Taekwondo Club, Sarah placed first as the the ATA-Xtreme Weapons World Champion at the 2007 Songahm Taek...
Trojan Condoms released their third annual Sexual Health Report Card today, and the Ivy League took two of the top five spots and placed favorably overall.
For the uninitiated, the Sexual Health Report Card ranks 130 colleges and universities based on the quality and availability of sexual health services and resources on campus. And so, in th...
We're less than a month into the new school year, but it's already time to plan for the end. Nomination forms for honorary degrees, and (more interestingly) commencement speakers are up on the Rutgers website.
Harvard had J.K Rowling as their commencement speaker last year. We will not be able to afford her, but it would be great if someone sm...
Marina Louie, Rutgers '10, hates girls so much that she needed the world to know, and there's no better way to communicate her loathing than through a Facebook note, aptly titled "girls are STUPID pt1". I never thought I'd see a note produced with such title coming from a source other than a 9-year-old boy or a Calvin & Hobbes Comic.
The note ...
Shaq is kind of gross looking. But at least, he's not really idolized for his looks as much as his rockstar-like spoiledness and his ball-playing skills, which still gets a lot of women wanting to sleep with him.
He doesn't seem like the picky type, so why is he terrorizing this one woman -- a relatively unknown hip-hop artist who goes by the ...
The Boston Globe reported that a new housing project for UMass Lowell was halted because the public construction project never went through state bidding; it was just handed off to a private developer. Now this over packed campus will have to wait a long while before appropriate housing is built to accommodate its students.
UMass isn’t the ...
Next time you decide to head to the gym with aspirations of pumping iron and getting buff -- DON'T.
As you have undoubtedly heard by now, Janos Baranyai, a Hungarian weightlifter, dislocated his elbow during the Beijing Olympics. Many videos of the horrific accident have popped up on YouTube over the past day or so, but unfortunately, the copy...
In an increasingly sensitive nation, it seems nothing mildly risqué can be said without someone crying an –ism (racism, ageism, anti-feminism - you get the picture). The latest bout of political incorrectness is Dreamworks’ Tropic Thunder.
The movie, which premieres next week, stars blackfaced Robert Downey Jr. and also includes a subplot star...
Bad news for all you students taking the GMAT in May – you can no longer lure geniuses to take it for you. Because the constant surveillance and monitoring wasn't enough, anti-cheating developers felt that more needed to be done about cheating.
Beginning in May, GMAT test takers will have to undergo a “palm vein” test to ensure that students a...
Co-ed Magazine’s Seton Hall blogger, Steve Gebhardt, reported that Hoboken, NJ has the highest % of singles in the entire U.S. Shock and awe.
Over at College Candy, UMich’s Lauren invited readers to feel better about their own lives by poking fun at the skeleton-like Madonna.
The Pre Req posted a brief recap of the Princeton Review’s newly r...
These days we aren’t safe from anything. The media is constantly warning us against “threats” that allegedly have some value, but I’m not too sure. This summer’s scare fixation: Cancer. I swear it feels like every time I turn on Good Morning America they have some new cancer causing “discovery” that affects us college students, and Americans in ...
Chess Boxing is a sport (we can call it that, right?) that first began in 2003 by a Dutch man named Lepe Rubingh who was inspired by a fictional description of the sport. Its popularity and rise to not-quite-mainstream status went from there.
The concept is goofy, but no stranger than triathlons or curling, if you think about it.
If you love...
Every year Money Magazine publishes its top 100 small cities based on factors like clean air, safety, quality schools and auto insurance premiums. Unfortunately, none of this makes a college town great! Give me a keg and some good football; then it will be a top college city.
In case you're looking to start college in the same place you raise y...
In a newsletter Mayor Ken Pringle sent out on July 4 about Belmar tourists, he complained about the rambunctious behavior of guidos and guidettes in his peaceful town. He describes Belmar as “lovely and tranquil,” and he plans on keeping it that way.
With statements like, they are "as welcome as, oh, Canada geese” and “we are thankful she left...
Jenna Schaal-O'Connor, Rutgers '10, previously featured in a New York Times article for saying philosophy major boys are cute and datable, made the papers once more, but for a much less cute reason.
The 20-year-old go-go dancer was nabbed for selling LSD at work by an undercover officer in Manville, and was charged after the drugs were tested....
Hollywood’s top actors’ union, SAG, is currently negotiating a tough contract with major television networks and Hollywood studios. Last week, the Screen Actors Guild rejected -- yet again -- another proposal by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
What does this mean for you? Well for one, it is summertime. Most college st...
While construction workers were excavating the future site of Rutgers University's new football stadium, they unearthed the remains of a tavern and artifacts that are dated back to the 18th-century.
Thousands of ceramics, cutlery and bottles were found and said to have been from the Raritan Landing settlement. The tavern that excavators discov...
When you're living on campus, finding something desirable to eat within your budget can be frustrating.
