Life Through My Eyes
Oh dear Rutgers. Former school of mine. Pretty much housed in my backyard. As a student, I was always proud to be affiliated with Rutgers. I mean, come on, how many schools do you know that have turned down the IVY league status? You represent the state of New Jersey. But, for one reason or another, you just …
I was at the event when Bill Clinton came to Rutgers at the height of Barack Obama’s election campaign [when I was still a Rutgers student]. I met/shook hands with Barack Obama when he came to FDU. Not to mention I met Nelson Mandela as an elementary school student in Canada when he visited Toronto, …
Rutgers in the [national] news. Again. And not for something good. As a Rutgers (New Brunswick campus) alumni, the thought on my mind since yesterday was something to the likes of “it would be nice for Rutgers to get [national] media coverage for something positive for a change“. The latest incident? The video leaked yesterday …
I went to see Rachel Maddow speak yesterday morning bright and early at Rutgers (my alum!). The event was a part of a series of events the Eagleton Institute of Politics is holding (I went to see Nicole Wallace speak several weeks ago as well and plan on going to see Valerie Jarrett next month also). Nicole …
Are you guys into the March Madness craze? I’m DEFINITELY not. I watch none of the games. I don’t care who wins. But for several years now, I have filled out the bracket for the heck of it…. using my method. You know what that is? As I go through the bracket, I look at …
If you are a local, I’m sure you are familiar with the Eric LeGrand story… and if not, I wrote about it here and then again here. Earlier this week, ESPN’s Tom Rinaldi conducted the first interview with Rutgers defensive lineman Eric LeGrand since he was paralyzed during the football game against Army on Oct. …
This past Saturday, I attended the Rutgers vs. Syracuse football game, courtesy of winning two tickets through NJ.com’s (online version of a local newspaper) twitter account. I graduated from Rutgers last May, and had not gone to any of the games so far in the season, so this game was also my first game as …
What a month for Rutgers! The Fall 2010 semester has brought so much attention (local and national in both of the cases) to Rutgers — in a negative way unfortunately. A few weeks back, I posted about my thoughts on the Rutgers freshmen who committed suicide. Since then, the Rutgers community has been hit with …
As a society, when are we going to say ENOUGH is ENOUGH against bullying? I would hope that if Rutgers ever received so much attention, it would be for a positive thing. As a very recent alumni of Rutgers it was quite dissappointing that they, instead, made headlines locally and nationally because one of the freshmen committed …
I haven’t posted anything since I got back from Canada about two weeks ago, but this article I was just reading was too neat not to share: It’s about an 84 year old man who is a freshman in college pursuing a degree in psychology and then hopes to to eventually get his masters in …
