We Shouldn't Celebrate Karl Lagerfeld
From Donald Trump to movie directors to Queen Elizabeth II, I have ripped many rich and famous people a new one. So, naturally, when I saw the theme of this year's Met Gala I knew what had to be done. While there were many horrible outfits and the fact Blake Lively was not in attendance, that's not why I'm writing...

Turning Point USA? At Montclair State?
As some of you may know a student organization affiliated with Montclair State University, Turning Point USA (TPUSA), hosted guest speaker Phil Rizzo, a former congressional candidate of New Jersey, on April 19. I can assure you all, I don’t want to be in a position where writing this article is necessary, but it would be unethical to ignore this...

Audiences Are Over Broadway
Broadway is changing. Sometimes change can usher in new innovations and developments for the art, but sometimes it doesn't. Last week I had the opportunity to see Broadway's newest musical "Bad Cinderella.""Bad Cinderella" follows Cinderella, a girl living in Bellville, a town that has been awarded as the “most attractive town” 49 years in a row. Despite the actress playing...

Have you or a loved one ever seen photos of celebrities on a red carpet? Literally any red carpet at all, even a Colgate toothpaste one. Have you ever seen any performance at an awards show by a singer or musician? Odds are you probably have. Celebrity culture is sadly shoved down our throats on a daily basis. However, some...

SOBREVIVÍ A LA GRAN INUNDACIÓN DE WILLIAMS HALL
Hace poco más de una semana, a mí y a 78 residentes de Williams Hall nos dijeron que teníamos que abandonar nuestros lugares antes de que siquiera comenzara el semestre. Sorprendidos por las promesas de que el edificio estaría listo para ser ocupado el 15 de enero, la mayoría de nosotros nos quedamos en estado de shock por esta decisión...

The Year Without A Snow Day
Photo credit: Hannah Effinger
The semester is rolling to a close, and as one does at the end of any school year while living on-campus, that means it is time to start thinking about packing up one's things. So planning I began. Scanning the apartment, I looked to take only the small and unnecessary things that one doesn't need as spring comes to bloom...

Reaching New Heights: How Growth Improves Sitcoms
I have watched “New Girl” 15 times from start to finish. I nearly had a heart attack two weeks ago when it was pulled off of Netflix. Don’t worry, I’m better now. It’s on Hulu. For anyone who has not seen it yet, “New Girl” is about a quirky teacher named Jessica Day or Jess (Zooey Deschanel), who moves in...

EDITORIAL: How Montclair State Should've Handled Housing Selection
While most Montclair State University students are commuters, a whopping 75 percent, the university is still home to around 5,000 students. Every year, those students have the opportunity to select their housing through the Residential Management System (RMS). However, this year, many students have expressed annoyance to their peers or taken to social media to complain about the selection process....

Is Anyone Else Tired of the Reboots?
No, you’re not in a time machine. Yes, movies from the past two years included "Top Gun: Maverick," "Scream," "Downton Abbey: A New Era," "Jurassic World Dominion," "A Christmas Story Christmas," "Halloween Kills," "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" and more that I can’t bother to list. Call it nostalgia, call it keeping the “good times” alive, but I’ll call it old. I like...
