By the time I reached my senior year of high school, I had either officially (or unofficially) toured 33 universities. Yes, you read that correctly. I toured 33 colleges in my search for the “perfect fit.” My parents wanted my older sister to start looking at colleges when she was a sophomore, and I was

Before coming to Notre Dame, I had never heard of discernment. Now, I would be lost without it. Discernment has not only brought joy and clarity, but it has also become the subject of my senior thesis. My research investigates the nature of discernment at Notre Dame, so I have become familiar with the theories

Drake is the most ubiquitous, influential and popular music artist of the past decade. Drake is The Beatles. He has plenty of flaws — Google ghostwriters, hiding a child and more — and some really not great music. He’s also had some stellar feature appearances, outstanding songs and a few good albums.

The year is 2050, and after 30 years of trials and tribulations, intense social and political reform, scientific development and the abolition of country music, society has reached a state of perfection. Climate change has been reversed, diseases (and viruses) cured, poverty eliminated and war eradicated. Sweeping advancements and revolutionary ideas have propelled all of

A few artists released new singles. Scene listened. Run it back. “Moment” — Pinegrove By Mike Donovan, Scene Editor Momentary pleasures — the type initiated, felt and lost at a pinprick on the timeline — feed on the luxury of not knowing. Neither future nor past have any bearing on the instantaneous. What’s now is

For a brief moment there was a conversation about whether or not Post Malone would be a one-hit wonder. His hit, the spacey, basketball-themed “White Iverson,” put him on the charts in early 2016, but his potential as a rap superstar wasn’t clear. People who took a look at him, with his gnarly long hair,
