From the beginning of football in August to the end of the men’s and women’s basketball in March or April, the Notre Dame cheerleading team is standing on the sidelines rooting for the Fighting Irish. The team is composed of 18 female and 18 male cheerleaders along with the four leprechauns. For the past two

My favorite word is ljubavi. Pronounced “loo-buh-vee,” ljubavi is the Croatian word for love and what my grandparents have always called me and my sister Ella. My Grandma and Grandpa immigrated to the United States in 1970 from the city of Rijeka, Croatia, and have lived down the street from me nearly my whole life. I

If humans were programmed like artificial intelligence, our code would be based on love. We are built for love. As I was deciding what to write for this column, I knew it had to be something I could write quickly and easily, because it’s due soon and I’m busy. I decided to write about love,

Caroline Polachek’s sophomore solo album, “Desire, I Want to Turn Into You,” has a song for everyone — “White Lotus” season two fans, students studying abroad in Greece and Rome, enjoyers of long drives by the beach and anybody who has looked into somebody else’s eyes and wondered what they were thinking. It’s the intellectual

One of my earliest memories is gripping our kitchen’s cold, stainless steel table. It was originally a Home Depot work bench that my dads thought would look modern and hip as a dining room table.

As the celebrations for Valentine’s Day continue throughout the week, I look to romantic comedies to fill the void which comes with being single on a holiday made for couples. There are always the classic romantic comedies that I can rely on such as “10 Things I Hate About You” or “When Harry Met Sally,”

Valentine’s Day is a huge deal in America. Even if you ignore the unbridled consumerism (candy, flowers, expensive gifts) there is so much emphasis on celebrating the day even if you’re not in a romantic relationship. Just walking around my residence hall, with most of the bulletin boards awash in various shades of pink, emblazoned

As Congress was passing the Respect for Marriage Act last week, members of Pasquerilla East Musical Company (PEMCo) were hard at work preparing for their fall show, “Bare: A Pop Opera,” which features a closeted gay couple. “Bare” is a rock-musical focusing on the secret lives of a group of private Catholic boarding school students.
