Hallo again from Innsbruck! My first semester here has just ended and a much-needed month long break has started. (The semester timing in Austria is different than the timing in the United States.) Here’s a small list of what have I learned this semester: how to navigate through airports and train stations, how to be

If I had to sum up a theme that links all of my articles for The Observer this semester, I would sum it up in one word — change. This article is not meant to provide the casual reader with solutions to overhaul the problems and divisions in the political, economic and social spheres. Rather,

My friend Steph sits opposite me, applauding the mosquitoes she

When I got back home for winter break, I went through a box of some of my childhood items and found my old fourth generation iPod Touch from my middle school days. I turned it back on and was immediately greeted by the old operating system, iOS 6.1.6. After using the iPod Touch for a

This often causes the organization to delve into the depths of political dialogue with the intention of promoting open spaces for all voices and opinions to be heard and debated. Although this may be true, members of bridgeND must not only have

Dear University President Fr. John Jenkins, Fossil Free ND would like to thank you for your response to our call for divestment and a more ambitious sustainability plan.
