Following midterms, fall break took place from Saturday, Oct. 14 to Sunday, Oct. 22. Students have since returned to campus and reflected on everything they did over break.

Friday marks the beginning of fall break. Believe it or not, Notre Dame is one of few institutions to have a full week break in the middle of the fall semester. Many other schools only have a long weekend or plug away until Thanksgiving. Fall break represents different things to different people. For some of

Next week is fall break. You may be driving home to watch movies and walk your dog at home. You may be jet-setting to an all-inclusive resort to sit on the beach and drink pina coladas. You may be strapping on your boots for a service or religious discernment trip. You may be bunkering down

I remember being too short to peek into the mixing bowl when I’d be sitting on the counter as a kid. I would stand on my tippy-toes to steal loose chocolate chips and brown sugar scattered on the counter. My mom would pick me up so I could grab a fingerful of cookie dough and

I would make the argument that the majority of us as students were concerned about the absence of a fall break in this school year.

Breath in … breath out … breath in … this sucks. This sucks. I am still stressed out. I have papers to write, appointments to make and about 40 other things before the idea of a break can even be entertained. But all I need to do is power through to Friday, and let the
