A mere two months after Congress rescinded funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), New Jersey’s Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) announced its impending July 2026 closure. The loss of federal funds was the final blow after Gov. Phil Murphy had cut state funding by 75% in June 2025.
I know what you’re thinking: “YoungBoy? Seriously? You already lost me.”
Nothing is better than sipping an iced, cold French vanilla coffee with cream and liquid sugar when it costs me no dollars.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a distant thought. It is the present.
Falling is a way of life. Accidentally walking into a Handicap parking sign pole when meeting a freshman for the first time is a part of the journey. Clumsiness is beautiful in its own lack of spatial awareness and directionally challenged way.

This week for Hot Take Friday, we’re sharing various opinions on minor issues in pop culture that we think should be talked about.
It was late in the summer before my senior year when Emma Thumann asked me to be the Setonian’s news copy editor. I had never done a lick of work for the paper. I am as much a journalist as I am a person who can do long division; that is to say, not at all. How I came into consideration for this position remains a mystery, but I type before you today as a proud member of the Setonian’s 100th editorial board.
I’ve never been someone who believes in fate, of higher powers or external forces and wonders influencing my every thought. But when I became editor-in-chief, I learned something about the paper that made me reconsider my stance.
Serving as the Head Photo Editor this year has been the highlight of my senior year.
Four years later, I have gotten to know so many people and make friends in the process of working on the Setonian.
To this day, I have formed connections with people that I never would have encountered otherwise–some of whom I am grateful to call my close friends.
It’ll be weird not hearing my dad’s coworkers ask when my next article will be up. Just as I sat with curiosity coming into Seton Hall, I’ll sit with this for a little bit longer.
The proverb “it takes a village to raise a child,” although the newspaper is not a physical baby, rings true as I look back at the last 100 years of the Setonian.
Well, I’m here.
It is no surprise to anyone that the longer this pandemic goes on, the more people are going to anxiously await the day life can go back to the way it was. Believe me, I get it. For the last four years, I spent most of my time living hundreds, even thousands of miles away from my family. I had all the freedom of young adulthood, and now I’m back home in a full house depending on my family to support me. I lost my job when the University closed housing. I’m not really sure what I’m going to do this summer, let alone next fall.
Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent quarantine began, millions of thoughts have been running through my head.
I spent weeks thinking about what I wanted my senior column to be about. I imagined it to be some sort of SHU swan song; I’d talk about my favorite parts of campus, the friends I made, the mentors I had and the things that I learned over the past four years. But that initial idea changed because it’s hard to ignore everything that’s going on in the world right now.
In 1993, Tara Reade, a former Senate staffer for Joe Biden, alleged that Biden inappropriately handled her. Now, Reade has alleged that Biden sexually assaulted her, according to Newsweek.
I was extremely lucky that I got to finish my senior season as a swimmer a week and a half before the cancellations of professional and collegiate sports. With everything going on in the world right now, the cancellation of NCAA competitions may seem like the bottom of the list in terms of importance on the world scale. However, for many student-athletes across the United States, losing the end of your senior season can feel as devastating as losing a loved one.
