Description
This PR updates the MenuBox component to directly handle navigation for semester and exam schedules. By checking for these specific routes (/semesterschedule and /examschedule) and using window.open directly within the user-initiated click handler, we ensure that the schedule links open in a new tab reliably without triggering the browser's popup blocker.
Additionally, this PR includes some code reformatting (whitespace and indentation adjustments) in MenuBox.jsx.

Motivation and Context
Users were experiencing issues where clicking on "Course Schedules" or "Exam Schedules" buttons would be blocked by the browser's popup blocker. This prevented them from accessing the schedule directly, requiring manual intervention to allow popups. This change ensures a smoother user experience.
