Late last month, I convinced some of my friends to come with me to watch “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” Incidentally, the last movie I saw in theaters before the pandemic hit was the second installment of Tom Holland’s franchise “Far From Home.” It would be the understatement of 2021 to say I was excited to

Almost everyone who knows me would say that I am not what is known as a “chill person.” Generally, I’m the kind of person who can’t do things casually. If I’m joining a new extracurricular or starting a new hobby, I will throw myself into it headlong. For example, I joined The Observer as a

New Year’s resolutions are out. Ins and outs are in. To elaborate, resolutions have never sat well with me. I don’t enjoy the idea of making goals simply because we all agreed one day resets our calendars. Additionally, in the past couple years of volatile change, many of my personal goals have been disrupted too

I honestly don’t know what to write this column about. Typically I only have to write one of these per semester, and I usually pick a later date, storing up ideas until then, to make sure that when my turn comes, I have something halfway decent to say, something interesting and inspiring enough (to me)

Welcome, my fellow contrarian. I hope I’ve upset you by my use of the word “fellow.” I dislike it as well, but I’m afraid it was unavoidable in this case. I could say “Welcome, independent mind, one unlike every other reading this same text,” but that wouldn’t have quite the same ring. Let me guess:

I’ve been thinking a lot about lasts lately. So have my friends. As a senior, it’s pretty natural to be at least a little preoccupied by endings — they’re everywhere. Last football games as students, last fall semester, last Christmastime on campus, last day of classes, even. I think the fall-to-winter switch lends itself to

I was in a meeting with my senior comprehensive advisor not too long ago when she pointed out a sticker I have on my laptop: “Everything is a social construct.” When she read it, she couldn’t stop laughing. Then, she proceeded to ask why I would have a sticker that said this. My answer was

If you know anything about me, then you know of my love for music. My journey to developing this passion began with dance. I started dancing when I was little (before I can remember), and I haven’t stopped since. As I picked up more styles and took more classes every week, the types of movement

You know what time it is: It’s time for me to dedicate my whole Inside Column to science! This is one of my favorite things to write about — space exploration. And boy, do I have a phenomenal update for you. Today I will be talking about the James Webb Space Telescope NASA will be

Dorm life is a big aspect of college especially at schools like Notre Dame, Saint Mary’s and Holy Cross, with both Notre Dame and Saint Mary’s having a residency requirement on campus, to ensure the full college experience for the students. But yet the roommate experience has a great deal of power to make or
