Well, another week of the so-called government shutdown and D.C. residents are being impacted the hardest. This is truly a disgrace, and none of these politicians care about the real-world impact of their decisions or indecisions, for that matter, and who pays the cost while their checks keep flowing. I’m over it.

HU Starbucks Deserved Better
This may not be a big deal to some, but for me, an HU alum, to hear about the campus Starbucks closing is saddening. I’ve spent many years in and out of that location, from studying to taking a coffee break to meeting with professors, and it was an important place during my time at Howard. For it to abruptly close with no immediate plans for a replacement is a slap in the face to the students who pay good money to attend the university and to have quality amenities.
