"This break went by too fast," "I did not get anything accomplished over break," and "I wish that winter break was longer," are all common statements we heard as we reunited with friends and professors during our first week back. As we all start getting back into the swing of things, it is heartwarming to notice that the holiday spirit of giving is still strong on campus.
10. Intro to Wizardry
With the holiday season in full swing, people everywhere are rushing out to get the best gifts for loved ones, except me. I could care less about the Super Bowl for shoppers which is referred to as Black Friday.
In response to the new Facebook privacy chain letter, I hereby proclaim my fabricated copyright on all of the selfies, ranting statuses, and already illegally shared YouTube videos on my timeline, officially ensuring the rights to me and only me, despite the initial privacy agreement I already adhere to as a member of Facebook, and the rights I agreed to as soon as I sold my soul to social media by uploading my first cyber footprint.
If you are a 90's kid, you will appreciate the surprising news that "Boy Meets World" characters Cory and Topanga, played by Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel, will be returning in the new television series "Girl Meets World".
10. Get A's on every final
Winter break is fast approaching, bringing joy and excitement to both students and professors. After cramming for finals and participating in late night study sessions, the thought that less than two weeks are left in the semester sounds amazing.
The Setonian featured an article last issue that explained Seton Hall University's office of Community Development's policy on penalties for noise ordinance violations or any other police reports that take place at off-campus residences here in South Orange. The policy places students who live in non-school funded residences liable to fines and other punishments for being involved in reports from the South Orange Police Department. These students are subjected to appearing before the Community Standard Review Board upon request. The policy was implemented by the University under the pretense that Seton Hall University students represent the school and its principles even when they are not on campus. However, the reality is that this policy unjustly holds off campus students in a state of "double jeopardy," having to pay the school after paying the South Orange Police Department for the very same offense.
Every athlete, no matter what level of play, wants to have a game worthy of being put up on the highlight reel.
As November comes to an end and December begins, excitement and anxiety build. Not only is Christmas just 26 days away, but final exams are starting in exactly 13 days. The countdown to the conclusion of the semester has begun - study sessions and all-nighters will soon begin.
As much as I like the little things about Seton Hall, such as the nice landscaping and the cute little town of South Orange that surrounds it, the real reason why I am here is because of the great programs and opportunities Seton Hall provides for me.
With Thanksgiving exactly a week away, many students are excited for break. Not only do they see Thanksgiving as a time away from classwork but also as a time to spend with family and close friends at home.
10. Commuters being able to park their cars on South Orange Ave. this year
Adults laugh, on average, 17 times a day. That's about six minutes a day. Isn't that scary? If that doesn't terrify you, I don't know what will.
To say I'm not excited that Winter Break is right around the corner would be a lie. No clever clich?© needed, it would just be a total, lie.
It is evident that New Jersey was not prepared for Hurricane Sandy. It does not matter how many press conferences Governor Christie gives or how many times it is said that the utility companies are "working very hard" -- that all means nothing when faced with the reality of the situation.
Kevin Willard finally has his team. For the first time in his three year stint at the Hall, every player that is on the roster was someone he brought into the program. To some this might not be a big deal, but it is time to see what Willard wants to do as the Pirates' coach. If you want to judge Willard as a coach, this is the year you can start, not worrying about the previous two seasons.
10. Oprah Winfrey versus Tyra Banks
As students and faculty wrap up their first week back in classes since Hurricane Sandy pounded the east coast with severe winds and heavy downpours, moods are solemn on campus. Many students have experienced or heard of tragedies related to the storm.
