For some people, clowns are not funny; they are deathly afraid of clowns. Others love and adore them. No matter how you feel, clowns have been in the news recently and not for real good reasons, with some people so afraid they are currently locked in their houses watching the news and hoping the clowns stay out of their town. Yes, in 2016, the year of craziness, so it seems, clowns have taken the east coast by storm. Recent local reports include a hoax in Toms River and in Phillipsburg. Also how people are handling it depends on how you feel about clowns.

Sightings of clowns go back to as early as last year in Florida. The real question remains: is it a publicity stunt? Or have people in this country gone that crazy that they want to dress up like clowns and scare people? Even though the clown scare started in Florida last year, it has now worked their way up to most recently south Carolina and now our own New Jersey nearby long Island.

Here in New Jersey, in Toms river, a school was put on lockdown after a clown was reported and "Everyone started freaking out," according to an Asbury Park press story. Another sighting was in Philipsburg, Warren county it was reported by eyewitness news that a clown chased a young boy out of the woods. The recent news is putting everyone on edge and waiting to see if they are next in line for being chased by a clown. On long Island, recent clown sightings have upset local officials who say that police have better things to do then chance strange clowns around

There are two kinds of people out there. If you hate them, you're locked in your house and keeping your eyes on alert. However, you may be into horror and enjoy the sightings, waiting for the terrors to come up — and then bam, you hit them. With Halloween coming up, this could all be over in less than a month. Furthermore, the clown sightings have been going on for a year, you might be seeing clowns in your town for a long time. So keep looking behind your back, 'cause clowns are lurking.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

Being A Senior: The Best And Worst Of It

Graduation is coming.

Loyola University Chicago

267

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
