Connections to our Colleagues:
Transferred here last spring and it was one of the most welcoming experiences I’ve had at any school. Immediately felt like a part of the crowd! #JPW250s19 pic.twitter.com/iGcOORtEPE

The Ed Caf is a hidden gem. Absolutely the best place on campus to grab a coffee and a sandwich and still be under your meal equiv budget. Also, they’re super nice! #JPW250s19 pic.twitter.com/89Hqo06B60

The track team here cites Yummy Sushi as a key pre-race meal for its clean nutritional value, high carbohydrate content, and low price. My go-to order is the salmon sushi burrito. #JPW250s19 pic.twitter.com/B2rOLODsre

Reflection:
We were surprised by how involved this project ostensibly mandated us to get in our TCNJ community, however that wasn’t a bad thing in absolutely any shape or form. We had so much fun exploring all the nooks and crannies our campus had to offer, and it’s funny thinking about how all the people we talked to and interviewed all led their own unique daily lives and schedules. This is especially true when you make the association of both TCNJ with the people that embody the school. And suddenly the stoic concept of a college campus becomes a true to life and breathing organism with its goal to improve the lives and minds of the students that stay here.
This project was gratifying; it honestly really was. We both met some new friends and we both stepped into some buildings we never even thought of approaching before with nothing but the lingering quest for information.
On a topic on the more HTML side of things, it was also interesting taking the time to create a blog such as this. There is absolutely way more order to and sense to what we initially saw as a blob of text, acronyms and brackets. We look forward to seeing where and how we can apply this knowledge elsewhere in both our professional and personal lives.
