I think most of us spend our teenage years into our twenties wanting to belong to someone, cycling through crushes, collecting prospects like pokemon, hoping maybe somewhere in the chaos of hook-ups, homie-hops, flirtationships and other entanglements, something beautiful will happen. We go to parties looking for partners, light candles for future lovers and craft

When Disney first advertised the production of “Encanto,” scarce information about the plot appeared to indicate the film would accord with the studio’s traditional and effective animation formula, ridden with color, unique characters and, above all, overflowing with magic. However, the new film by directors Byron Howard (“Tangled” and “Bolt”) and Jared Bush (“Zootopia” and

Do you feel at home in the universe? This is the question that my professor began class with last Monday and it has stuck with me ever since, because I am not sure that there is an easy answer to it. Perhaps there is something about October that puts me in an introspective mood. Maybe

Notre Dame faces the issue of forgetfulness. We forget about the outrage over some new administrative action we read about a few weeks ago. We forget about ‘let’s get a meal sometime’ from three weeks ago. We forget about the impactful seminar we attended last week. We forgot about the results of the Inclusive Campus

For all my international student friends who cannot be with their families during Mid-Autumn Moon Festival this Sunday. For all my friends who are experiencing cultural shock. For all those who are struggling to blend in and to find a home and to those who are still trying to find, accept and appreciate who they
