What side of the road do I walk on?

Lucy Collins | Thursday, September 7, 2017

I, like the unique and trend-setting individual that I so strive to be, have spent the last three weeks in London as a part of Notre Dame’s study abroad program. I know what you’re thinking — “how brave of her, to leave all that she knows to go where no college student has gone before!

An entire summer of rest(lessness)

Lucy Collins | Thursday, August 24, 2017

“I’m between jobs right now.” “I couldn’t really find the right fit for me in terms of internships.” “I didn’t really wanna peg myself into a field I’m not interested in.” These are just a few of the responses I have come up with in order to answer what seems like thousands of friends, neighbors

Three dinner guests

Lucy Collins | Thursday, April 20, 2017

For Easter Break this year, a couple of friends and I decided to drive up to Canada for a few days to experience a new city. Leaving campus at 5:30 p.m. for an eight hour road trip meant we had to take creative measures to make sure we all stayed awake for the duration of

The problem with idealizing the past

Lucy Collins | Thursday, April 6, 2017

Nostalgia (n): a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past We are living in a present that seems to be obsessed with the past. Recent critically acclaimed films “Midnight in Paris” and “La La Land” are both centered on characters who yearn for eras long gone, time periods well before they were even born. There are

‘Get Out‘ is a masterpiece

Lucy Collins | Thursday, March 23, 2017

Over break, I finally had the chance to burst the “Notre Dame bubble” and catch up with the rest of the world. No, I did not spend my break reading up on all the current global turmoil and political disasters. Instead, I headed to the movie theater with some friends to see the latest movie

What should I give up for Lent?

Lucy Collins | Thursday, March 2, 2017

This is the eternal question that has plagued centuries of good Catholic boys and girls. A lot rides on what you decide to abstain from, after all. Back in grade school, I would proudly announce my brave sacrifice for that year — most likely candy, pop or fighting with my brother — to my classmates,

The final frontier

Lucy Collins | Thursday, February 16, 2017

Ask anyone who was alive at the time what they were doing July 20, 1969. Chances are, whether they were young or old, rich or poor, educated or uneducated, they were planted in front of a TV set, watching with eyes wide with wonder as history was made and mankind reached the moon.  Think about

And the award goes to …

Lucy Collins | Thursday, February 2, 2017

I don’t know about you, but when I turn on an award show, I’m not looking for the glamorous dresses or dashing movie stars. What I’m really tuning in for is a healthy dose of political and social activism. I mean, what are celebrities if not the perfect, educated, shining examples of morality for all

No laughing matter

Lucy Collins | Thursday, January 19, 2017

Think of some comedy classics — the type of films that are revered almost universally by young and old alike, staples for any true comedic connoisseur. You know what I’m talking about — “Caddyshack,” “The Big Lebowski,” “The Blues Brothers,” etc. These films are seen as infallible, and why shouldn’t they be? They are all hilarious,

An Island in the Sea, or Yosemite?

Lucy Collins | Thursday, December 8, 2016

“So, which island will it be this year?” “Well, we’ve already been to Aruba, the Dominican Republic and Hawaii, so this year we are hitting up Cancun! What about you?” “We can’t decide. There are simply too many tropical destinations!” As much of a #firstworldproblem this situation is, come the last few weeks before any
