7 Places I Can't Wait To Go Over Fall Break: Monmouth County

1. Rook

Unique to Monmouth County, Rook is an independent coffee shop that serves an amazing cup of coffee. On campus you have the option of Starbucks or the Kurig in your dorm, but nothing beats a fresh cup of coffee from a small local coffeeshop and I can't wait to snuggle up with my Rook coffee and a good book while i'm home.

2. Turning point

Another one of my favorite eateries in Monmouth County, Turning Point has the most amazing brunch and a really cozy atmosphere. I can’t wait to go with my friends over break and enjoy my favorite brunch food and a chai latte.

3. My friends' houses

My friends' homes are like my own in a lot of cases and I miss them, their pets and their families almost as much as my own! I can't wait to hang out with my "other families" while i'm home for a short while.

4. The beach

Growing up near the beach, it’s hard going to school hours away from the coast. Though it may sound strange the beach is my favorite in the fall, it’s quiet, serene and there are no bennies!

5. Red Bank

A quaint yet bustling town, Red Bank feels like home after 4 years of high school in the town and I can’t wait to walk around town with my hometown friends again. The shopping, food and waterfront parks are just some of the great things about Red Bank.

6. My fave bagel and pizza place

Being from NJ, I miss good, quality pizza and bagels so much when at school out of state. If you've never had an NJ or NY bagel and slice of pizza you don't know what you're missing!

7. Home

I miss my house and family. Being away from home is not always hard but I do miss my bed, my cat and seeing my family daily. I also miss the home cooked meals and non-stressful atmosphere. So out of all these places I miss, I miss my home the most and can't wait to spend a week there.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
