My dining room table

Letter to the Editor | Tuesday, February 16, 2021

The other day, I was sitting at a table in the corner of SDH and thinking about storytelling. More specifically, I was thinking about memory and the ways that we transmit these memories. You may wonder what eating has to do with memory or personal narrative. Excellent question. But I was thinking about where I

Where is home when you can’t go back?

Maria Luisa Paul | Tuesday, September 8, 2020

Commonly known as “the Rainbow,” a mosaic of millions of red, blue, yellow and black tiles adorn the floor and walls of Simon Bolivar International Airport. The merging blocks of colors crafted by the renowned artist Carlos Cruz Diez are the only thing left in Venezuela with any structure or sense. Walking through those tiles

Trying to say goodbye

Abby Patrick | Wednesday, April 29, 2020

My year was upended even before coronavirus took away what remained of our semester and our sense of security. I found out my family is moving this summer from Wisconsin to Texas. Now I know I’m in college and I spend less and less time at home anyway. But I mostly grew up in Wisconsin,

Making the most of a bad hand

Letter to the Editor | Tuesday, April 21, 2020

I know how to find an inmate. In Florida, you can go to the department of corrections site and look up inmates via a combination of their last name, first name and DC number. This DC number is a combination of six digits, or an alpha character followed by five digits, that is used for

Lessons from my 90-year-old grandmother

Julianna Conley | Tuesday, April 21, 2020

When I was fourteen, my grandmother was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer. What we’d thought was pain from working too hard in her garden actually turned out to be a broken pelvis caused by the spread of abnormal cells to her bones. After a month of my mom driving an hour every day to

Thanksgiving on a park bench

Gabriel Niforatos | Tuesday, November 19, 2019

There is a Thanksgiving that my family and I had one blustery November in New Mexico that stands out from others I have experienced. On its face, it might not seem all that different to you, but it is special to me in a way that is hard to describe. If I told you what

Open letter to my better half

Krista Lourdes Akiki | Friday, November 8, 2019

Dear Sister, Yes, I am indeed writing about all I love about you in the old-fashioned letter-writing method. But wait, before you roll your eyes at me, did anyone else write you a letter through a column in a newspaper? This idea has crossed my mind several times throughout the past couple of months. However,

When you give an Irishman an iPad

Campus Ministry | Monday, April 8, 2019

March 17 is a day most people highlight on their calendar. It’s a day to celebrate a great saint, an honorable heritage, a beautiful country and, simply, a reason to turn anything and everything green. I’m Irish and only Irish, and green just so happens to be my favorite color, so you won’t hear me

Just one question, Crossroads team

Letter to the Editor | Monday, February 25, 2019

I love Notre Dame — always will. While I wasn’t a fan of the Crossroads project when it was first announced, I was always willing to admit that there were significant needs for more student union-type spaces, and that using the space around the stadium was creative, even if it was not a desirable symbol.

Rosie

Lucy Collins | Thursday, November 29, 2018

The only thing my dog was practically good for was replacing our broken doorbell. For as long as I can remember, growing up in my house meant missing visitors, because our doorbell never worked, and for some reason no one fixed it. It was not uncommon to be alerted of someone’s presence by a phone
