PINK College Rep Program Coming to Montclair State

The PINK brand by Victoria’s Secret is a closet staple for many young women due to their stylish yet comfortable clothing with prices that fit the low budget of college students. A central reason for the brand’s success is because of their college rep program across the United States on large university campuses. As the program begins to expand across the country, students hope that their university will make the inductee list at the start of every semester. Naturally, when Montclair...

Working Body and Mind in Yoga

Many people set weight loss goals for themselves, but if you are like most Americans, any success to shedding pounds is usually short-lived. While goals, like weight loss, begin as change for the better, more frequently than not, they become an intuitive exercise in self-loathing. Sometimes health-related goals can actually be jabs at oneself in disguise. Trying to lose 10 pounds seems like a pretty innocent goal at first, but it may be the result of negative statements within yourself that say,...

The Best Grab-and-Go Options on Campus

Need a quick snack before class? It’s awfully easy to make a poor choice when grabbing a bite from a vending machine or the grab-and-go spots on campus. Candy, pastries and other high sugar and high fat options seem to be everywhere. However, with a little guidance, making a nutritionally-sound decision is possible. When snacking, it is important to look for a snack that provides a decent amount of fiber and some protein. Fiber, found in whole grains, expands during digestion. Consuming a snac...

Not Quite Everyone Lived Happily Ever After

Another fictional lesbian is dead, and it sadly comes as no great surprise. Queerbaiting has become almost a norm in today’s television. It can be seen across every genre of television and happen with any kind of character. Queerbaiting is when a television show has two characters that could possibly be in the LGBTQ community, and they have the potential to be together romantically. Most television shows play this for the ratings and the audience it gathers. There is a slim chance that they wi...

More distressing news involving terror activity at airports emerged on Tuesday, March 28, when 59-year-old Seif Eddin Mustafa was arrested for hijacking an EgyptAir plane in route to Cairo. Yet, this story does not end tragically like the terror attacks in Brussels as the man behind the hijacking was not armed with any weapons, and when the plane eventually landed in Cyprus, all of the passengers were released safely after Mustafa was involved in a six hour standoff with authorities. Mustafa too...
