I used to be a good reader. I think most people expect me to be now. But admittedly, though I love to read, I’m not good at it anymore. The nightstand near my bed is piled high with novels I promise to one day finish. A friend asks if I’ve read “Fahrenheit 451,” “Malibu Rising”

On March 23, TRIO hosted “Shadow for a Day.” High school students from the South Bend area were assigned a host student from Notre Dame to experience a day in the life of a college student. TRIO’s two programs on campus are Upward Bound and Talent Search. Upward Bound is a college preparatory program that

Title; it was disappointing (I guess it was clickbait). But we’ll get to that part later. Your first question may be: How? My thanks to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, or FERPA. Remember that box you checked on the Common App when you submitted your letters of rec? You were waiving your FERPA

It’s snowing today. Snowing! You can read that line as an ecstatic exclamation or a disappointed one, depending on your feelings about the wonderful phenomenon of drifting crystallized water. I was talking with my roommate in our kitchen when I noticed it. I’m pretty sure I cried, “It’s snowing!” with more enthusiasm than I thought

This Monday marked 56 years since Holy Cross College’s establishment. The College was founded on Sept. 19, 1966 by Holy Cross Brothers whose mission is to be “educators in the faith” to men and women everywhere — especially the poor, afflicted and oppressed.

For 16 years, I’ve measured my life in school years. Fall is an exciting fresh start, full of hope and promise. Winter is a halftime break. Spring is a time to wrap up and summer is a timeless in-between. It’s part of the reason I’ve always disliked spring. The trees and flowers may start to

This year — my senior year — I’m living off-campus. It was about damn time.
