The quintessential fall playlist

Nicole Bilyak | Wednesday, September 23, 2020

The weather has become cooler, which signals the start of fall. Fall is the season for pumpkin spice lattes, Halloween and the changing of the leaves. While you curl up by the fireplace with a cup of hot chocolate, you don’t really think about songs that signify the fall. However, there are a multitude of

What do you mean it’s cold?

Mannion McGinley | Friday, October 11, 2019

It’s 8 a.m., you have class in 20 minutes and you glance at the weather to decide what to wear. South Bend: 60 degrees. Perfect! You stand up to get dressed and if you decide on anything warmer than jeans and a t-shirt — well, then you are sadly mistaken. Let me explain. I’m a

The sock theory

Abby Patrick | Monday, October 7, 2019

Fall is a wonderful time to accessorize and dig your favorite layers out of the back of your not-so-deep dorm closet. Cozy sweaters, well-loved flannels, ratty-but-perfect sweatshirts, the quintessential denim jacket (with or without personal pin embellishment), even just a long-sleeve tee — the list goes on and on. However, there is a little respected

Pumpkin spice review

Claire Kopischke | Wednesday, September 25, 2019

“When is it really fall? To some, it’s the crisp air and changing leaves, but to us, it’s not officially fall until you’ve enjoyed a warm cup of that sweet pumpkin spice.” — Bear Naked Granola The South Bend air hasn’t gotten chilly yet, but my friends and I are basic girls who are ready

Summer’s over and Whitney’s ‘Forever Turned Around’

Mike Donovan | Tuesday, September 3, 2019

Whitney’s debut, “Light Upon the Lake,” shone over a midsummer breakup, illuminating, albeit weakly, the lifeless reflection of a lost relationship. “How cheap were the nights you used to keep me warm,” drummer-vocalist Julien Ehrlich questioned while he dipped his toes in the water and watched the reflection ripple. No one answered. Ehrlich was left in the cold — “awake in all kinds of darkness” — miming the reluctant

Scenecast: Fallcast

Nora McGreevy, Nicholas Ottone and Brian Boylen | Monday, October 8, 2018

  What do Francis and the Lights, “Over the Garden Wall,” “Moonrise Kingdom” and the poems of Emily Dickinson have in common? They all remind us of fall, in their own idiosyncratic ways. Volume III: FALL 2018 by Scenecast, from The Observer

Fighting the Fall illness

Lina Domenella | Monday, October 1, 2018

It’s no shock when you come to Notre Dame things will change, your living situation, your friends, your freedom and many other things. However, one thing you don’t realize will change is your immune system. Living in close quarters with many people, not sleeping enough, and sharing things from a doorknob to a drink can

Scene Selections: Fall Picks

Margaret McGreevy, Ryan Israel and Sarah Kikel | Friday, September 28, 2018

Ah, yes, fall — or autumn if you’re a snob — a season filled with crisp air, all things pumpkin, spooky feats, sweet treats and sick beats. A time when walking across campus doesn’t feel like a punishment best suited for one of Dante’s many rings of the inferno, but rather a treat. A season
