Gratitude when things aren’t great

Stephen Hannon | Tuesday, October 6, 2020

The pandemic has changed just about every aspect of life at Notre Dame, and it’s easy to get caught up in thinking about how many things are worse now. We can’t visit friends in other dorms, and until recently, we couldn’t even go in the rooms of friends inside our dorms. Online classes make it

For as long as I’ve had to do school projects requiring some amount of research — since maybe third grade or so — there’s been one word that seems to strike as much fear into my teachers’ hearts as a four-letter curse word. It’s the “He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named” of academia: Wikipedia. But Wikipedia is not something to
