There’s nothing wrong with attending community college
By Merinda Gruszecki | May 1, 2019The two-year, “community college” stigma needs to end. The thoughts and opinions of two-year colleges in the past does not pertain to the current benefits attending community college has today.
Disabled students should study abroad
By Veronica Gaspa | Apr. 24, 2019When I was getting ready to start my senior year at SHU, all I knew was I wanted to make it the best year ever.

Remember to reflect and finish the year out strong

I hope to pay it forward when I graduate
By James Justice | Apr. 10, 2019Some memories are clearer than others, this one is crystal. I remember walking from Aquinas Hall to the University Center on a Wednesday night in April 2016. I didn’t know then, but the next half hour would change my life.

I found myself through studying journalism
By Sarah Yenesel | Apr. 3, 2019Like some other college students, I will be ending my collegiate career in a different place than where I started it.

In college, remember to trust your gut
By Kaitlyn Quinn | Mar. 30, 2019When I was a junior in high school, I figured out exactly what I was going to do for the rest of my life. I would attend Seton Hall University for its Speech Pathology 4+2 Program, graduate with three degrees in speech pathology, elementary and special education and English, and I would become a speech language pathologist. I would always have a job, I would save the self-esteem and speech of thousands of children, and I would write the next best-selling novel on the side.

By Editorial Board | Mar. 20, 2019The Electoral College went into effect in 1789 for a few reasons. One was to create a buffer between the population and the election of the president of the United States. Another was to give smaller states more power to elect the president. The Founding Fathers were hesitant to give American citizens direct power to elect the president; they were afraid a tyrant could manipulate the public and rise to power, according to Alexander Hamilton in Federalist No. 68.
Seton Hall needs to work on their security
By Robert Fallo | Mar. 20, 2019Safety should be a top priority, if not the highest priority for a college campus. With thousands of students in the area every day, the potential for disaster without the correct security is heightened.
It’s not too late to go into journalism
By Kevin Kopf | Mar. 6, 2019In the current age, it is easy to write off journalism, and subsequently related majors such as public relations, communications, and many more, as useless.
Live it up this spring break, but be safe
By Staff Writer | Mar. 6, 2019Happy spring break Pirates! We’ve officially made it, I know it seems like we’d never make it. Spring break is officially upon us, midterms are over for the most part, and we have definitely all earned a break.

Break out of your comfort zone, and you will rise
By Kristel Domingo | Feb. 20, 2019Sometimes life just smacks you across the face, and everything lately seems to be going awry. You could be faced with a mountainous workload, personal life issues, or a challenge you just can’t overcome. A bunch of things keep going wrong, and suddenly your life is like a game of Jenga, and one more wrong move might make you want to fall to pieces.
On Valentine’s Day, learn to love yourself first
By Rhania Kamel | Feb. 16, 2019With Valentine’s Day being an unofficial American holiday, I understand that there’s this societal pressure to engage in romantic love and be part of a relationship that transcends the individual.
