Don’t delay discernment!

Joey Jegier | Friday, January 27, 2023

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

A gap in time

Reyna Lim | Wednesday, August 31, 2022

My parents are sitting in the living room with the 9 p.m. news on, my mom sipping on a cup of tea. College move-in is only a week away and my bags are all over the house, haphazardly overflowing with clothes, bedsheets and books. “I think I want to take a year off,” I tell

How they

Why college?: The question high-achieving students don’t ask themselves

Renee Yaseen | Monday, October 12, 2020

Despite being an exam so quirky and interesting that many people actually love taking it, the LSAT is not the kind of exam for which a typical education directly prepares you for. While taking an LSAT practice test back in May, a friend and I began to discuss how our respective high schools prepared us

A year of service

Letter to the Editor | Thursday, November 7, 2019

It’s an understatement to say that senior year can be scary. Maybe you have been employed ever since you did that summer internship junior year.

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.
