WANTED: Lost Self

By Monica Moser on September 23, 2016

by Monica Mosser

We were in one piece as children

We were so happy together

We didn’t suspect a thing

But soon she ran away

Always a free spirit, though I never knew it

In my eleventh year she was gone

She left behind an exoskeleton, me

I didn’t know who I was or where I belonged

I didn’t know I was lost until I knew she ran away

~

When I took the hint I started looking

There were times I found her

She led me to go to high school elsewhere

But I know me

She goes when she doesn’t feel satisfied anymore

And even elsewhere, I was still lost

And I still didn’t know it yet

~

There were more times I found her

In summer 2014, I found her wandering in New York City

That’s a happy place for her

She and I reunited to gain confidence and leadership

But when my stay there ended, she left

~

On July 10, 2015, I was hinted to try harder in finding her

By none other than Taylor Swift

Later that July, I found her in Silicon Valley

We got back together and made some best friends

She stuck around when we went to Vancouver and Alaska

We made some more friends

And we found ourselves a love interest

But when that was over they left

I’m sure they are still gallivanting together somewhere

~

But now I know where she went after

I know where to find her

She’s in Hoboken

She’s there to stay and ready to start a new chapter in her life

I know we’ll be together forever when we reunite there

~

The thing about mental selves is that when they’re ready to leave, they do

I guess that meant I was ready when I was eleven

Should you feel heartbroken when they do leave?

By Hope Brandes on September 23, 2016

The fashion industry is changing, and New York Fashion Week is changing with it. Runways used to be invitation-only events where designers would present their ideas for the next season to the press, magazine editors, retail buyers and Hollywood socialites for review, sales and promotions.

Steam Engines

A nearing steam engine chugs a heavy whiff of black smoke and from its archaic megaphone bellows a deafening, unforgiving horn.

Upcoming On-Point festival

By Nick Burns on September 22, 2016

A Science and Technology Institute such as Stevens will often get a bad rep when it comes to the arts. People often consider STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) schools to have nonexistent, or at best bare-bones, arts programs.

King of Court Street!

By Greg McNeil on September 16, 2016

Today in Cuisine Corner, I began to venture off of Washington street — albeit half a block — to the Stevens Faculty favorite, Court Street Restaurant & Bar!

The Current State of Self-Driving Cars

By Tarik Kdiry on September 16, 2016

The idea of self-driving cars has been a hot topic since the beginning of this decade. Many companies in the automotive industry have their own models either currently on the road or being tested. 

Are Our Campus Leaders Actually Leaders?

By Lisa Mengotto on September 16, 2016

It doesn’t take much for someone in Student Affairs to call a student a “leader” on this campus. Anyone who has held an executive board position, been part of the SGA, or served as an RA or OL has probably been told that they’re a campus leader.
