I feel sorry for the OP. He asks a simple question, but little does he know how far afield things would get! The topic of cables has always been so.
I've got a pair of Monster Cable IC's. I bought them in about '89 and they've been in storage for about a decade. I recently found them as I was short of a pair, and put them in play on my cd player source. I was surprised but they sounded pretty good, so I disconnected one length and unscrewed the RCA jack. The copper was still bright and shiny! After about 27 years, that says something about Monster, doesn't it?
I'd say Monster Cables from back in the day are solid. They were one of the pioneers of quality cables after all. So Mr. Hockey, I'd say you're doing fine with the cables you have while you're in school. The Blue Jeans cables may be inferior to the Monster in this case. It wouldn't hurt to experiment, try different sources, and enjoy.
