Trail Mix for Traitors – Rebecca Zandstein
As a vegetarian I am constantly on the lookout for protein. I’m like a wild lion on a chase for even the smallest of rats, except that I’m more like a Yukon gold looking for a sliver of tofu. While everyone around me snacks on oily potato chips or the newest healthier version of “baked” chips I sit here with a granola bar and a rumbling stomach. The prices alone of a granola bar or a single potato chip bag doesn’t seem worthwhile or sufficient for a hungry college student. Homemade trail mix is the healthier, easier, cheaper, and more satisfying option that all should consider, carnivores and vegetarians alike.
Check Out These Mussels – Sayani Das Chaudhuri
While most are dubious to mussels they are not as scary as they look; they are healthy, savory, tender, and sweet. These two succulent recipes are sure to satisfy mussel newbies and all-time lovers. Sayani’s recipes are easy to make and alter without sacrificing flavors. Mussels are sure to become your newest favorite dish.
Pagach, Not Your Average Pizza – Amanda Litchkowski
Pagash is a secret. Google it and the results consist of an Urban Dictionary definition, some Jewish references, and less than a handful of not-too-trustworthy recipes. Not many people outside towns originally inhabited by Polish immigrants know about it. The American-Polish hybrid “pizza” can be found only in a small Pennsylvania town or two but hopefully it can cross a state border and bring its tasty self to New Jersey for all to devour.

Adventures With and Without Seoul – Grace Sangeun Hong
My journey into Korea started with an application to teach English in rural Korea under the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology. Unlike other programs that offer people the chance to teach English abroad, this program is unique in that it offers both long and short term contracts to its scholars, and as much as they want their applicants to be able to provide exposure to Korean students who often do not have such a chance to experience the English language, they also want to provide their scholars with the ability to learn and love the Korean culture through planned trips, excursions…
