On Twitter, you\u2019ll find complaints ranging from the seemingly legitimate\u2014why <em>does<\/em> it cost $100 to register to graduate\u2014to the mundane\u2014why <em>do<\/em> you put so much garlic in the sauce, Eick chefs? (We\u2019ll answer the first question: The fee offsets cap, gown, and diploma costs. Perhaps Big Larry can answer the second.) Unlike tweets, Yik Yak comments are only visible to fellow app users within a 1.5-mile radius. They\u2019re also anonymous, which means we\u2019ll never know which student shared this existential gem: \u201cSnowmen are winter scarecrows. Mind. Blown.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Students love a little junk in the trunk &gt;<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-9232\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tcnjmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/shutterstock_79498693-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"shutterstock_79498693\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>We\u2019re talking about the tcnj trendy trunk, of course, an online campus consignment shop started by Wicki Wang, a senior psychology major who\u2019s minoring in marketing. The trunk offers new and lightly worn brand-name clothing at prices an undergrad can afford. Students can also sell their unwanted clothes through the trendy trunk, and earn 65 percent of any sales. Anything that doesn\u2019t sell gets donated to the charity of the consignor\u2019s choice.<\/p>\n<h2>Hats on to women&#8217;s soccer standouts&gt;<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-9224\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tcnjmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/p9-womens-soccer-hat-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"p9 women's soccer hat\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>The women\u2019s soccer team won 18 games last season, and after each victory the coaches awarded a decorated hardhat to the player they felt had made the biggest difference in the game. It\u2019s a fun tradition that got underway a few years ago to motivate players to work a bit harder, says assistant coach katie lindacher \u201914. \u201cour motto for the hat is, \u2018gotta go to work.\u2019\u201d it seems to be paying off: the team\u2019s NCAA championship quarterfinals appearance last season was its best finish in years.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014Tony Marchetti, with reporting by Ashley McKenna<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"H2-Sentinel28ptHeadsDeks\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Helvetica; color: windowtext;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yik Yak, junk in the trunk, and hardhats for the women&#8217;s soccer team highlight this issue&#8217;s &#8220;Since We Saw You Last.&#8221; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9224,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,76],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-on-campus","category-winter-2015"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tcnjmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9278","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tcnjmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tcnjmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tcnjmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tcnjmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9278"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.tcnjmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9278\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tcnjmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9224"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tcnjmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tcnjmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tcnjmagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
