Learning to listen

Ayden Kowalski | Monday, May 1, 2023

Listening is an underrated form of engagement. While we experience encouragement to find and use our voices here, it is equally important to recognize when we need to be focused on someone else’s voice, and how this absorption of another’s message can stir us. Exactly how our quiet attention aids us and our relationships differs

‘The Banshees of Inisherin’: An unexpected tragedy

Caitlin Brannigan | Monday, October 31, 2022

To be honest, I walked out of the theater after watching the dark comedy “The Banshees of Inisherin” with mixed feelings. I didn’t like it. It made me feel uncomfortable and sad.  However, perhaps that’s what the film does best: It intends to upset viewers to foster a discussion of mental health. “The Banshees of Inisherin”

A deep hunger

Dane Sherman | Wednesday, September 21, 2022

I hopped on the Manhattan-bound “L” train at 10 a.m., late for work. I overslept and took my sweet time getting up. That’s what summer internships are for messing up, right? The car was lightly filled. Most of the people had already made it to their resting places for the day. The subways are a

Thanks for the rainbows

Evan McKenna | Friday, May 13, 2022

I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder last month. I start with that not for the shock factor or for the sympathy, but because I can’t imagine another way to begin. Whether I like it or not, my experience with mental illness has colored my college experience in innumerable ways.  This was especially true my

And the show goes on

Abby Patrick | Friday, May 13, 2022

Sitting down to write this column, even thinking about writing this column, is more than a little daunting. How, in 800-1000 words, do you attempt to articulate, wrap up or even lightly address the close of the last four years? The last four, crazy, broken up, influential years of learning, laughter, friendship, tears, life lessons,

A declaratory theory

Devin Humphreys | Tuesday, January 25, 2022

One of the things Notre Dame Law School does a really good job of doing is developing, in its students, an understanding of what actually makes the American constitutional project as novel as it is. Many people, when they think of the Founding and “what makes America great” will jump to something along the lines

Hide it under a bushel? No!

Devin Humphreys | Wednesday, January 12, 2022

Hide it under a bushel? No! I’m sure many of us have heard, or even participated in, the post-Milkshake Mass traditions of slapping those Newman Hymnals closed, declaring “Yay God!” and waiting for one of the wonderful Dillon Hall piano accompanists — Noah Bongiovanni and Wil Zinkan — to play those pickup notes on the

How to fail at starting a band in college

Colleen Fischer | Thursday, May 6, 2021

(Or: A coming-of-age essay about giving up on your dreams) Step One: Want to start a band  All failed bands start the same way with someone wanting to start a band. If you talked to me in high school and asked me if I wanted to start a band, I would probably say that bands

Our own soul’s color

Abby Patrick | Monday, March 29, 2021

The other day, my friends and I were eating breakfast on South Quad, enjoying the wonderful sunshine we seem to have been so graced with lately and allowing ourselves the respite of a slower weekend morning. In the course of the more or less meaningless chatter of the morning and our easy companionship, we got

For the girls

Alysa Guffey | Friday, March 26, 2021

March 2021 — the start of spring, the anniversary of a year of lockdowns, the midmark to a stressful semester with no midterm break. Yet, along with a month that many people have associated with difficulty, uncertainty and loss came the annual celebration of Women’s History Month and recognition of women across the globe who

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department and you responded with the request: “Northwestern @ Notre Dame 2014 Football Breakdown”. That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
