Walking into my junior year of college, I was prepared to face a lot. I expected to be busy all the time. I expected to be working harder than ever. I expected to be networking, trying to find internships and attempting to maintain some semblance of a social life. What I didn’t expect was the

I fell in love at the Homecoming dance. Barefoot in the center of the high school gym, the floor littered with pink and white petals from corsages torn to bits in the frenzy, I spun in circles with my closest friends. We jumped around with our hands in the air. We dropped it low and

As part of Relationship Violence Awareness month, Notre Dame’s Gender Relations Center hosted speaker Shasta Nelson, author of “Frientimacy” and “Friendships Don’t Just Happen!,” to lecture about loneliness and how to build healthy friendships that combat it. The feeling of loneliness, or the longing for more meaningful connections, affects most people at some point in

I am a firm believer in the idea that a deep friendship is quite possibly the most significant and beneficial relationship you can have with someone (arguably aside from marriage, but for some, perhaps even including this). Nothing beats time spent with dear friends, whether it’s dancing at a bar, debating around a kitchen table

This week, we discussed music we listen to during the summer, or associate with the sunniest season. We all took different approaches to the question, but all of it’s worth checking out!
