You're Definitely A Rowan Prof If You Can Relate To These 16 Things

Wind tunnels, long waits on food, construction, and PARKING.

Rowan University: also known as one of the only good things about South Jersey. No offense to all you South Jersians, but it's kind of true. Rowan is a second home to many and a place I have grown to love, even with all of its issues and mishaps.

There are certain things that go on in Glassboro that just aren't like anywhere else in New Jersey. If you're a Rowan student or alumni, there's no way you won't be able to relate to these 16 things.

 1.   You have to carry an umbrella at all times because rain comes out of nowhere.

It can be a bright and beautiful day when you leave for class, but you're in the middle of a rainstorm once you get out. It's always rainy in Glassboro.

2. You have to wait over an hour just to eat food.

RIP to buffet style. Tapingo takes forever!

 3. 322 is insane, but you walk right into the middle of the street anyway.

Every college student dreams of getting hit by a car and having their tuition paid for, and it's no different at Rowan.

 4. You constantly complain about your school colors.

Brown and gold? Seriously?

5. Construction is never not going on.

It's NEVER-ENDING.

 6. You know the worst building on campus is Robinson.

It's pure torture sitting in there, no matter the time of day. It feels like the building has been around since the stone age.

 7. You still call Rowan “Glassboro State” from time to time.

Got to show some respect to the place that started it all.

 8. The campus turns into a wind tunnel once the cold weather comes around.

Sometimes, you can't even look up when you're walking because the wind is THAT painful.

 9.  You’re still not really sure what a Prof is.

All you know is you're proud to be one!

 10. You wonder if the trains will ever stop running through campus.

Do they really have to honk at 2 A.M. when I'm trying to sleep?

11. The traffic is never-ending.

Walking around Glassboro will get you to where you need to go much faster than driving.

12. Your Rowan Bucks disappear one month into the semester, and they’re all spent on food.

All of the late night Domino's and Cookie Munchers really add up.

13. Living on campus means dying from a heat stroke. 

The rooms without AC are unbearable during the first few weeks of school.

14. It's super weird when you meet someone that isn't from Jersey.

Almost every student at Rowan is from somewhere in New Jersey, so when you hear someone is out of state, you always ask, "What made you want to come here?"

15. You have to constantly fight with the WiFi. 

It is always disconnecting, no matter where you are on campus.

16. Parking is outrageous.

Too many students, not enough spots. It is nothing less than chaos.

Despite all of its quirks, Rowan is home and always will be. Roll Profs!

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
