May 8, 2013 - 3:00am

By Colleen Duncan You wake up the morning of your final and immediately start last-minute cramming as many facts and definitions that can fit into your brain. The last thing on your mind is what you're going to eat for breakfast this morning. But it actually should be the first, because the right breakfast could make or break you on test day. Studies show that a balanced breakfast keeps students focused for longer during test taking than quick, sugary breakfasts. What's the best morning meal? A mixture of protein, whole grain carbohydrates, and omega 3 fats. So, before you reach for a handful of lucky charms and grab an energy drink from the fridge, read on for a list of combinations that will keep you at your best!...

The end of the school year has a way of surprising just about all of us. No matter how organized of a person you are, it’s always a little startling to read the email from ResLife reminding you how every single thing in your entire dorm room, from your textbooks to your photo collages to the bins of sweatshirts tucked under your bed, needs to be packed and gone by May. But there’s another thing that needs to be gone once May 10th rolls around, and it’s a little harder to pack in a box than your sweats: All your points. READ MORE

You’ve read about it in Cosmopolitan, you’ve seen it on the TODAY show, and you’ve even talked about it with your friends.  We won’t admit it, but we all want to know: what do men find sexy?  I’ve heard that there are three types of women in this world: women who dress for themselves, women who dress for other women, and women who dress for men.  Regardless of where you fall among these three, at some point during your morning routine you’ve probably wondered, would a guy on campus find me sexy in this outfit? Good news Collegiettes, you don’t have to wonder anymore!  We asked the men of TCNJ to fill out this survey about what they find sexy about women’s clothes.  Here’s what they had to say.  (Take notes ladies.)...

Calling Someone Else Fat Won’t Make You Skinnier

We all remember Cady’s revelation at the end of the comedy Mean Girls, when she realizes that criticizing Carolyn Craft for her bushy eyebrows and outfit that looks like it’s been picked out by “a blind Catholic school teacher” wasn’t going to help her solve the math problem in front of her for the North Shore Mathletes competition. She realized that calling someone else ugly wouldn’t make her any prettier and calling someone else fat wouldn’t make her any skinnier.  Girls can quote that movie scene by scene but yet why don’t they get it?

April 24, 2013 - 3:00am

By Samantha Nader It’s just a regular day. Since we all live in an age when we’re obsessed with technology, the first thing I do when I wake up is grab my smart phone and check Facebook. Still burrowed under the covers and clinging to the warmth they provide, I skim through my newsfeed to see all of the notably drunken status updates, the photos of people snuggling drooling dogs and cranky cats, and the weird memes my crazy aunt always posts on my wall. And then I see her. READ MORE

Confessions of a Fashion Hoarder


By TCNJ Contributor
April 23, 2013 - 3:00am

By Colleen Duncan Lately, every time I go shopping, I get déjà vu. And no, it’s not just because I’ve been to the same Forever 21 more times than I’d like to admit, but because the jean jacket isn’t just familiar, but basically an exact replica of a childhood hand-me-down in the back of my closet. And a pair of destroyed high-waisted cut-off shorts gives me flashbacks to old pictures of my mom rocking the same trend. Fashion is always repeating itself, and the current trends have me kicking myself for getting rid of the black combat boots I had in middle school. And it is because of this regret that fashion has turned me into a complete hoarder. READ MORE

  Our college years are about making memories with friends we will never forget.  But while making those memories, we might encounter a few nights that we will never remember.  We may drink one too many drinks, swap spit with someone who magically turned into someone else by sunrise and may even text our parents thinking they were our BFFs. So before going out tonight, tomorrow or this weekend, HC TCNJ is here to give you advice on not embarrassing yourself while you’re intoxicated – and Texts From Last Night is here to help. (319): You can see my drunken state get worse with each picture. READ MORE
