Soggy dog kibble Saints

Dane Sherman | Tuesday, September 6, 2022

Editor’s note: This column includes discussions of suicide and drug addiction. Do you ever wake up and feel something is wrong?  On Aug. 18, 2014, the birds chirping, the sun shining brightly over Lake Washington and a fully planned day of hanging out with friends. The perfect way to end the summer. The recipe for

Pridefest kicks off with LGBTQ+ Student Experience Panel

Emma Duffy | Friday, March 25, 2022

In the final days of the Njomo-Bisner administration, the Notre Dame student government is putting on Pridefest: a tri-campus event to spread awareness and appreciation for LGBTQ+ students. To kick off the weekend-long event, Pridefest featured an LGBTQ+ Student Experience Panel. Students from across the tri-campus came together for the panel to explain their experiences,

Our shared destiny

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, March 23, 2022

I sat on the floor of the shoebox-sized office we were occupying, my hands firmly wrapped around those of my friend. Between sobs, she told me how hard it was for her to be on this campus because she didn’t feel like she belonged.  Shocking me when she said, “I wish I never came to

A revolution of love

Letter to the Editor | Tuesday, October 26, 2021

I recently consoled one of my dear friends as he sat crumpled on the carpet, shedding tears of shame and hurt, telling me how he wanted to end his own life. A young man, who since he was a little boy, has been taught that God rejected him, poisoned by a perversion of the love

Being ‘good’ is unfulfilling

Ashton Weber | Tuesday, April 13, 2021

The first words I ever spoke were “good girl.” I explained that to my therapist the other day and she looked at me a little shocked. We had just been talking about the kind of control I’ve tried to have over my whole life and I explained that I have some deep, compulsive need to

Observer Editorial: Stand against hate every week

Observer Editorial Board | Friday, November 16, 2018

We’ve all been there. We’ve heard those off-the-cuff phrases that are tossed around in class or in the hall. And many of us have experienced the moments, or months, of isolation and loneliness. In October, Notre Dame released the results of its Inclusive Campus Student Survey, which was administered to the student body in February

Coming-of-age feels fresh in lesbian first-love film ‘Rafiki’

Jim Moster | Friday, November 2, 2018

If you were to take Kenyan filmmaker Wanuri Kahiu’s “Rafiki” and pick a scene at random, you’d think you’re watching a lighthearted story of teenage friendship. A girl in a yellow sweatshirt performs sporadic kick-flips on her skateboard through the bustling streets of Nairobi. Her friend unapologetically sports hot-pink braids. The two share laughter on

Even better

Show Some Skin | Thursday, October 4, 2018

For as long as you can remember, your father always told you that you could do even better. He wanted you to grow and so he’d always remind you of the room you had for it. He taught you to read when you were three and signed you up for piano lessons at four. Every

Love, gratitude and empathy above all else

Letter to the Editor | Tuesday, August 28, 2018

Dear Editors: I have never written a letter to the Observer before criticizing anything written by one of our students, and I regret having to do it now. But what a sad representation of our otherwise wonderful student body in this our first week with the publication Friday of an op-ed piece allegedly summarizing “nightmare” statistics on

Death, taxes and positivity

Soren Hansen | Monday, April 9, 2018

As April rolls around, I’ve been thinking about the two things which that old joke guarantees in life: death and taxes. Besides inevitability, they’ve got something else in common — I fear both death and taxes. Even so, it’s important to remember death (and your taxes, due April 15th — don’t forget). As a culture,

We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department and you responded with the request: “Northwestern @ Notre Dame 2014 Football Breakdown”. That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.

On Wednesday, Notre Dame students will take to the On Wednesday, Notre Dame students will take to the polls and elect their new student body president. A glance at the ballot suggests that this year’s candidates all appear to be human and pro-democracy. This observation may seem obvious or nonsensical, but a look back at the history of SBP elections shows that pro-democracy ideals or even personhood are not characteristic of all candidates.
