Hey, Pirates! It’s been a while.

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.
If you would have told me in my junior year of high school that I would be a part of the editorial board of one of the top, award-winning collegiate newspapers, I would have never believed you.
When I joined the Setonian as a news writer in Dec. 2022, I never imagined myself joining its editorial board, let alone its 100th editorial board. Mainly because I didn’t think I was cut out for it.
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.
I always enjoyed writing. I would rather write a paper than take a test or solve a math problem because I know with writing I can express myself.
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.
The most common question I get as the semester wraps up is how I feel about graduating.
For four years, to maintain my personal objectivity, I’ve kept my opinions largely to myself.
