(Or: A coming-of-age essay about giving up on your dreams) Step One: Want to start a band All failed bands start the same way with someone wanting to start a band. If you talked to me in high school and asked me if I wanted to start a band, I would probably say that bands

Nothing tasted sweeter than the capri-suns and orange slices passed from hand to hand after my elementary school soccer games. Do you remember? Water bottles dripping wet from a minivan’s melting cooler, air smelling like Kentucky blue grass and making everything kind of taste like it. You may have similar memories. A hug from a

“Our memories are gifts that show us life, even through the toughest times, is worth living.” -Chrissy Pinney Memories are the essence of our humanity. Sometimes beautiful, at other times painful. Sometimes unforgettable, at other times regrettable. Sometimes as clear as day, at other times blurred among each other… For me, the memories I cherish

Growing up in Portland, Maine, I was fortunate enough to watch Mookie Betts play baseball before he reached Fenway Park. Working at the Portland Sea Dogs, the Red Sox’s Double-A squad, I got to see Betts on a nearly daily basis, witnessing first-hand the electric touch he brought to the game. Earlier this week, the

So often end-of-the-year columns talk about what a special place Notre Dame is. But it’s not. It’s a beautiful place for sure, but there are lots of beautiful campuses in the country. As an institution Notre Dame isn’t special either. It’s great academically and I will be extremely proud to receive my degree, but there

The sign is pretty wrinkled, and it’s starting to tear a little in the top right corner. Otherwise, it’s held up remarkably well over the past four years. It’s on the type of paper all elementary schools have in their art rooms, the kind that comes in big rolls. The lettering was done in red

I fell into The Observer freshman year after hearing of a friend who worked for them and got paid to go to the Florida State game to take photos. This sounded too cool to be true. I decided to meagerly reach out and apply for a position in the photo department, hoping that my hobby since

I am not a sentimental person, which makes attending a school like Notre Dame, whose entire identity and tradition is built on a profound sense of sentiment, a little strange at times. As second semester began to wind down, a lot of “lasts” started to be commemorated, continuing all the way up until graduation.
