In a recent letter to the editor, a pair of esteemed and clearly well-educated Notre Dame graduate students highlighted a grave issue related to the Pfizer vaccine currently being doled out to Notre Dame students. Specifically, that the vaccine makes use of an aborted fetal cell. Their outrage is understandable and must be adequately addressed.

On the regular, I — like most students here at Notre Dame — find myself heading to bed between 12:30 and 3:00 a.m. on any given day. That’s a good six-plus hours after dinner, and after having been in class all day, a late-night snack is the only option left. But what to have? And

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

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

As I was writing this column, my mind kept drifting back to one of the most profound and highly contentious debates I have ever participated in through my more than 14 years of Catholic schooling: whether pets go to Heaven. As a 19-year-old who considers herself somewhat educated, I can now comprehend the theological foundations

On Jan. 28, 2021, Notre Dame students received an email from the Division of Student Affairs outlining many campus updates prior to move-in. This email discussed residence hall updates including a then-expanded guest policy. In that same paragraph, just lines below, the Division of Student Affairs encouraged students interested in living with fewer roommates to

I still have the note you sent me from September 2019 hanging on the wall next to my desk. I’m actually looking at it right now as I type this column, continuing to find inspiration in your words. I really didn’t think too many people were going to read that first Inside Column I wrote

If there is anything I have learned in the past year, it is that life is unpredictable. I know this is not groundbreaking — by now, all of humanity has had plenty of time to come to this same realization. Around a year ago, almost to the day, we were all leaving for spring break

About a year ago, I said hello. Now it’s time for me to say goodbye. Whenever anyone asks me about the past year at The Observer, I can’t make it more than two sentences without commending the hard work of my peers at the paper. I frequently follow up with “God, I feel like such

I don’t think I am the only person to say that special effects in movies have gotten insanely good in the past decade. Over the weekend, my friends and I watched Marvel’s “Age of Ultron” and quickly realized that the animation or CGI in that movie just wasn’t that good. The Avengers looked like they
