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

About a month ago I was talking with one of the RAs in my dorm when she mentioned a bucket list her professor had given her. One of the items on the list, she said, was to introduce yourself to someone new every day. Intrigued by this idea, I decided to give it a try.

It is morning. First, I’m asleep. Like most people, I begin my day in bed, asleep. Then, an alarm goes off. I still sleep. Chris (my roommate) throws a pillow. The aforementioned pillow makes contact with my face. I wake up. Following my awakening (in the least metaphorical sense), I brush my teeth. I do

Supposedly, this practice would help me to increase my ability to engage in positive thinking. However, I always thought it sounded like tacky advice pulled from a cheap self-help book and never bothered to

My best friend from high school, Alex, recently graduated from boot camp for the Navy. Obviously, I’m super proud of her and all, but the best part of her graduating was she got her phone back. For two months, I wrote Alex letters; it was the only way we could communicate. Every couple of days,

Have you ever tried going without your phone for a day or two? It’s actually rather freeing. Everyday the urge to check for notifications buzzes at the back of our minds until we finally give in. We take our phones everywhere and check them constantly to the point where we forget that we are surrounded

A couple of weekends ago, alumni of the Notre Dame Glee Club returned to Notre Dame’s campus for a celebration of its 100-year existence. It was an opportunity to reflect on impact of the club in the lives of its members and the wider community. There were quite a few alumni in attendance. Final numbers

ERIN RICE | The Observer As ’90s babies, we all are very fond of the TV shows we grew up with. And with the spin-off of “Zoey 101” recently released for our nostalgic pleasure, our collective imaginations here at Scene came up with the best childhood TV shows we would love to see revisited, if
