I walked into senior year thinking it would be significantly calmer than years before. I imagined myself using the time management skills I have honed over my college years to complete my work efficiently and ahead of schedule, making stellar grades and having plenty of time to hang out with friends without a nagging voice

It has already been a week of school and students, new and returning, have been bombarded with “welcomes” as we settle into our collegiate home. And here is another one: welcome to Notre Dame, the “diverse” campus that tries its hardest to call itself “multicultural.” Notre Dame has deep-rooted traditions in everything it does, and

For those born during the 1990s, the word “monster” might not have conjured images of a malevolent creature lurking in the closet or under the bed. Rather, it might have described a much more pleasant part of childhood: Pokemon. This summer, Pokemon Go, an augmented reality game, allowed those who loved Pokemon as kids to reconnect

On Tuesday night, every academic, niche, athletic or service group students can get involved with at Notre Dame gathered in the Joyce Center Fieldhouse for Activities Night to attract new members for the 2016-2017 school year.

Matt Notre Dame students are notoriously overinvolved in extracurricular activities; the admissions office likes to tout statistics that confirm

I get weirdly excited for Activities Night. I don’t know if it’s all the talented and dedicated people offering their passions to the University or the abundance of free candy and t-shirts, but there’s nothing quite like it. There’s no doubt it’s an overwhelming experience, too. The fluorescent lights high in the rafters of the
