You Know You're Home For The Holidays In Freehold When...

Now that the holidays are basically over, the craziness and full schedules leave with it and the realization that you have a few weeks of absolutely nothing to do before school begins again, sets in. You begin to miss your school friends, having your own place and not living under your parents' roof. But on the bright side, you have home cooked meals, a great place for laundry, no classes, and your family. Being back home for winter break can either be the best or the worst, it just depends on what you make of it.

Each and every small town has their good and bad, and here are a few things everyone who lives in Freehold, New Jersey, knows all too well to be the best and most memorable places when visiting home.

The Cabin
The best place for pizza and wing specials, especially on Monday Nights, if I remember correctly.

Federici's
"In the spirit of a neighborhood trattoria, we welcome you to celebrate the tastes of Italy at our family owned and operated restaurant. For over 93 years, Federici’s has built its reputation on the old world belief that gathering friends and family around the table is one of life’s most simple and fundamental pleasures."

Sweet Lew's
This quaint little brunch spot is always bustling with happy customers from their amazing breakfast and lunch meals.

Cafe 360
Another great spot for either breakfast or lunch, coffee, hookah and don't forget, their gelato.

Rita's
Unfortunately, at this time it is closed for the winter, but we all are waiting patiently for the first day of spring to arrive in order to get our fill of the (free) first taste of Italian Ice.

Sorrento's Subs
No better lunch than grabbing a bunch of different subs (yes, subs, not hoagies) and splitting them with everyone.

Terrace Bagels
THE BEST BAGELS EVER. End of story.

Court Jester
This cozy pub-like atmosphere is great for a drink or food, or both!

Freehold Raceway Mall
Even though many changes have been made since we were younger, the mall or bigger and better than ever. With ton's of stores (including a Forever 21 with 2 floors) and places to eat, you can always spend hours getting lost in here.

AMC Freehold Theater's
Conveniently located right next to the mall, they also have had some updates, like plush lounge chairs instead of tiny old movie seats. Just make sure to buy your tickets beforehand because they sell out quickly.

Fusha
For the best, and cheapest sushi around. They have an entire menu that is ALWAYS on sale and is always amazing.

With restaurants, take out and diners galore, these are just a few of the best places here in Freehold.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
