When I finally accomplished all my assignments that night, I jumped into bed to relax. I finally had “me time.” Then I was faced with my biggest stressor: the screeching sound of the Windsor fire alarm. I jumped

Out of all the food stations we have at SNHU, we can all agree that the “Mill City Grill” is the most popular one. There was a time where the line was so long that it curved around towards the La Trattoria station.

Black Friday has seemed to have become its own national holiday with how much it has grown over the years. It’s a night full of waiting in long lines, being stuck in large crowds and spending too much money all in the name of savings.

Welcome to Ruby Review, where I go in and review stuff here on our great campus. This review is based on the school's famous chicken bowls that are served every Monday night. I haven’t had one of these infamous bowls in a long time, so I traveled to the Dining Hall and purchased one. For my review, I got all the fixings and toppings
