Rat race of productivity

Oliver Ortega | Tuesday, December 3, 2019

At the start of the semester, I wanted to do everything. and be everything — an A+ grad student, a kick-ass instructor, a student group leader, a superstar columnist, a standout part-time receptionist, an exemplary community volunteer and a jiu-jitsu and weightlifting phenom — all while still having the time and energy to kick it

Hand Habits’ ‘placeholder’: an exploration of anxiety

Hanna Kennedy | Friday, March 29, 2019

Anxiety-ridden, confused, refusing to use capital letters. These adjectives could describe the average college student, or they could describe the second album released by Meg Duffy’s Hand Habits: “placeholder.” Available since early March, the project continues Duffy’s exploration of vulnerability that began with their first release, “Wildly Idle (Humble Before the Void).” Hand Habits’ characteristic

Choosing joy

Show Some Skin | Thursday, January 31, 2019

I do not, and probably never will, identify as an optimist. I find cynicism comforting to my anxiety about the future: I’m either right about failure or pleasantly surprised by success. I look for the bad in myself and the future, because at least if I fail, it isn’t surprising. This is not my best

‘Eighth Grade’ profoundly comforting, heartbreaking

Nora McGreevy | Monday, September 3, 2018

Eighth grade is the worst. Take the birthday pool party, for instance. For the introverted, self-conscious kid with anxiety, a pool party is a minefield of potential trauma. Social interaction without the comfortable confines of the classroom, gift-giving, navigating conversations with your cliquey peers — and all in swimsuits, no less. “Eighth Grade,” directed by Bo

Notre Dame community creates space for play in ‘Money Worries’

Nora McGreevy | Wednesday, March 7, 2018

Finding the Scholz Family Gallery in the Snite Museum of Art can be a bit tricky the first time around. Enclosed by glass and nestled next to the coat room, this smaller, more intimate gallery feels a bit unanchored from the rest of the museum. Inside the gallery, the lights are dimmed, and the echoes

Breathe

Caroline Humphreys | Monday, September 18, 2017

I can’t catch my breath. I’m drowning in a flood of anxiety and my heart races likes it wants to escape. I sit, staring without seeing, until my mom answers an SOS text, and begins, “What is it now?” She knows I’m having a panic attack because my obsessive personality paired with crippling anxiety has

On passing and pride

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, April 12, 2017

There’s a stand up segment, by Louis C.K. where a distinction is drawn between gay men and “f–s.” I think most people believe it is comedy gold. I certainly thought it was hilarious the first time I watched it. I laughed and thanked God that I was not like the “f–s” he mocked. I can, and do,“pass” as
