Optimizing our time

Megumi Tamura | Thursday, September 17, 2020

If you could have more of anything in the entire world, what would it be? Would you ask for more money, vacations, pizza? Frequent flier miles, love, concert tickets? Game day weekends, Southwest Salads, warm weather? The more days I experience in college, the stronger I feel in my answer to this question: If I

Mama, I’m grown

Sydni Brooks | Tuesday, August 18, 2020

My acceptance letter to Notre Dame equated to an all-access pass to the club of adulthood. While I still felt and acted like a 12 year old, that “Welcome Home” email was the permission I needed to surpass the constraints of adolescence and indulge in the authority of a grown woman. I coasted through my

Make it a self-care semester

Claire Rafford | Tuesday, August 18, 2020

We’ve all been there. Homework is piling up, and you have three meetings in two hours plus a huge event to plan for hall council. Drowning in stress, you cancel your workout, skip your dinner date with your best friend and reschedule your weekly FaceTime with your mom — just to get everything done. Even

What I’ve learned from the time when nothing happens, not Here

Renee Yaseen | Monday, August 17, 2020

“Having just digested all the New York Times and some pretty awful clam-chowder I made for myself, I don’t feel the slightest bit literary, just stupid. Or maybe it’s just too much solitude.” — Elizabeth Bishop, in her letters to the poet Robert Lowell Hi, it’s me. Writing to you from … not Here. I

A service we can’t see

Edward Brunicardi | Thursday, August 13, 2020

I won’t be the first to say it. College life, kinda sucks.  Or at least now it does. Friends can’t go in our rooms, classes have gone back to 2nd grade assigned seating and weekend parties (technically) aren’t allowed. What was supposed to be our once in a lifetime chance to experience a new world

Long distance love and (possibly) pain

Veronica Navarro | Monday, April 27, 2020

The transition out of high school and into college is difficult for almost everyone. We’re forced to release attachments to teachers and friends, and many of us will say goodbye to our first-ever love interest. Serious or not, losing this relationship can cause a lot of hurt for a teenager. At least for me, although

The silent symphony

Gabriel Niforatos | Wednesday, February 19, 2020

Four-hundred-fifty-seven days. This number might not mean anything to you at first, but it hit me with an unexpected force this weekend. From this past Sunday, 457 is the number of days left in college for the class of 2021. Now I know what you must be thinking. Now is not the time for sentimentality.

Nope, you can’t navigate life by yourself

Krista Lourdes Akiki | Friday, September 6, 2019

Try not to laugh too hard as you imagine me sitting in my tight dorm room developing a passive aggressive relationship with the extension cord I just bought simply because I couldn’t figure out how to use it. There I was tired, homesick and offended that after flying 6,118 miles from Lebanon to attend Notre
