Remember, remember, the 5th of November. Isn’t that how the movie (and poem?) goes? If not, I apologize — I’m certainly no Scene Writer (I lack that certain cool mystique that generally surrounds the Scene department). I remember hearing that line in ”V for Vendetta” and being very taken by it — like a ringing

As of Saturday, Nov. 7, Joe Biden is the new president-elect and Kamala Harris is the new vice president-elect. This is the first time a sitting president has lost reelection since George H. W. Bush in 1992, putting Trump on the short list of one-term presidents in the history of the United States. This election

Since the age of 10, I’ve had a bad habit: I bite my nails. Throughout my life, I’ve been told that it’s unprofessional, unladylike and gross. My high school art teacher teased me about it, my grandmother lovingly encouraged me to stop and my aunt shared how she taught herself to break the same habit.

Everyone is always trying to give you advice — I know — but hear me out on this one. As a self-proclaimed introvert, I know how scary the advice “put yourself out there” can sound. However, at the end of the day, you get out of life what you put in, so let’s unpack. First,

Halloween is right around the corner and it is not getting enough attention this year. To give Halloween some of it’s due credit, I will be ranking the best candies you can get when trick-or-treating. 5. Tootsie Fruit Rolls You always ended up with a few dozen of these flavored Tootsie Rolls and had no

The leaves are turning, the temperature is dropping and with every passing day, we lose a few more seconds of sunlight. You know what that means: it’s October! And if it’s October, then you know what that means: it’s Halloween! Objectively the second-best holiday (behind only Christmas and just ahead of St. Patrick’s Day), Halloween

The pandemic has changed just about every aspect of life at Notre Dame, and it’s easy to get caught up in thinking about how many things are worse now. We can’t visit friends in other dorms, and until recently, we couldn’t even go in the rooms of friends inside our dorms. Online classes make it

Not to be dramatic, but I would literally die for Library Lawn. Every inch of campus’ newest installation brings me immeasurable joy — the lush, green lawns, dotted with fire-pits and cornhole boards; the tall, pleasant pergolas, housing safe student gatherings and serving major cottagecore vibes; and the dazzling hanging lights, casting the quad in

Yes, there’s two of us. Having to repeat this phrase has become a bit of a habit for me here in college. It has also become an odd alteration to my usual “Yes, there’s three of us.” See, I am a triplet. Surprisingly, sharing a womb — and most of my life thereafter — with
