“Hi, my name is Ciara Hopkinson, and I lived in a convent for eight weeks.” I don’t know what I expected when I signed a contract to live in a convent this past summer. My friends thought I was crazy, my parents were skeptical and my brothers had a field day with nun jokes. Somehow,

Members of the Fashion Club of Notre Dame traveled to Chicago on Sunday for the finale event of Chicago’s Fashion Week. The event focused on growing the fashion industry in Chicago by giving up-and-coming designers the chance to showcase their work and develop their brands.

As we return to the bubble that Notre Dame seamlessly creates around its campus and brace ourselves for the fall semester, it is only a matter of time before we start itching to get away for a weekend. What better way to temporarily liberate ourselves from difficult classes and hearing about how each of our

“Easy” is easy to watch. The Netflix series’ short, episodic format and realistic, if “yuppie,” content channel half-hour Instagram stories: aesthetically-curated in a “real-life,” personal way. Shots of The Bean, lattes and brunch flood the series, each episode opens with colorful title art designed by a different artist and episode five even features a selfie artist. One season

Barcode images pulse in time with a lanky rapper, gesticulating wildly in front of kitchen appliances. A constant, descending melody fades in and out of prominence in the beat. The song, titled “Substances,” is simple and simply infectious. The accompanying video is professional while feeling homemade, including shoddy green-screen footage in densely layered rhythmic cuts. The polo-clad

It is, perhaps, the greatest food invention of all time. The Italians have given a lot to this world, from Michelangelo to DaVinci, but when it comes to the top spot, I’d have to say that pizza is king. But Italy just started the process. America perfected it. The blend of tomato sauce, dough and plenty

Rain showers set an angsty mood in the suburbs of Chicago on Friday night as blink-182 unsurprisingly filled the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre with thousands of poncho-clad fans ready to scream at the stage. Also unsurprising was the recent addition of Alkaline Trio’s Matt Skiba to the band — replacing Tom DeLonge — only adding to the band’s usual energy and

Part of being a member of the Scene section is being aware of pop culture. I like to think that being in Scene gives me an advantage. It keeps me aware, maybe even hip when it comes to current trends. Lately, I’ve felt otherwise. As a college senior, I’m in the midst of the transition
