By Allison DeLucia The norovirus was a surprising outbreak, which changed my view of Rider completely. Like any other day, I went to Daly’s, where I pride myself in eating healthy. I’m also proud of routinely exercising. I was almost finished eating my whole wheat wrap with grilled chicken and suddenly noticed the chicken was
By Casey Gale In grade school, winter break meant having a week off, half of which was usually spent working on assignments that were due the day classes resumed. Since the week usually flew by, there was little time for relaxing. This year, winter break was redefined. From Dec. 20 to Jan. 22, I spent
With finals quickly approaching, it’s time to reflect on how my first semester at Rider has gone. If I could go back in time, there are certainly a few things I would have wanted to know for my first day on campus. I wish I hadn’t worried about making friends so much. I did
by Megan Scheels All college freshmen spend their first semester in a similar way – stressing out about school work, feeling overwhelmed with the lack of time and trying to find the time to socialize. While Rider is a great place to make friends, get involved and study, I can honestly say that every freshman

by Casey Gale Can you believe that Thanksgiving is nearly upon us? In just a couple of weeks, we’ll be digging into some turkey (or tofurkey – for those vegetarians), watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and of course, giving thanks with our loved ones. It is really amazing to think about how fast time
by Megan Scheels College is a huge transition, full of new people and new experiences. It’s one of the most important chapters in a young adult’s life.

By Sarah Bergen Despite the negative ideas that are often associated with commuting, I have found it to be a very rewarding experience. I always planned to commute to college – I’m just not a dorm kind of girl. Regardless of my ability to make my own decisions, countless people told me that I would
by Allison DeLucia Even though I’m just a freshman, I’m learning a lot of new things. For starters, Rider’s “Adventure Club” has a name that definitely does them justice. My friends and I attended its white water rafting trip in the Poconos a couple of weeks ago; yet, I had no idea what to expect.
Before I began my college search I knew exactly what I wanted: a big school, preferably in the city, that was a few hours away and had a football team (because cities are so well known for their one-hundred yard grassy fields). I also claimed vehemently that I did not want to attend the college
