In my castle made of Scotch Tape and digital photographs of high school memories and broken Christmas lights and piles of graphic tees my mom is begging me to donate, I decide: It’s probably time to leave the country. It’s not that I don’t love this place, where every photo is a reminder of “something

My dream had come true. I was playing football at Notre Dame. There I was, on the hollowed grounds, strapping on the historic helmets with the blue cross over the top. There I was, wearing the white number four on the green jersey. How did this dream come to be? Is it possible that this

With graduation fast approaching, our Scene-iors reminisce on the songs that helped define their four years in South Bend. “Just Like Heaven” by The Cure Aidan O’Malley, Senior Scene Writer Don’t be fooled by the title: If it’s a song by The Cure, it ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. Still, “Just Like Heaven” is one

I remember almost missing my flight back to South Bend at the end of Winter Break. I was still in line for TSA 10 minutes before the plane took off, and by the grace of God, I made it (I really shouldn’t have made it). I remember that plane ride back to campus — I

It’s gotten way too late and we’re somewhere in Frankfurt, Germany, sitting on a street corner, willing for the Uber app to get us a ride. This is so classic, you say. Classics never go out of style. We tiptoe up the stairs to your room but not before grabbing the ice cream. We’re still

When spring break finally approached us, like most other people, I was so excited to take time to relax and not have to worry about the stresses of school work. Normally, my family travels on a 14-hour car ride to the panhandle of Florida. However, this year, my brother and I had different spring breaks

Money comes back. Those are the words a good friend said to me during our first week in Paris. Probably not great long-term financial advice, but he’s an econ major, so I’ve been living by those three words since. First, I realize this attitude comes from a place of privilege. I’m lucky to study at

Golf, for as long as I can remember, was one of my dad’s favorite pastimes. He loved to watch golf, play golf, drink with his friends while playing golf, buy clubs for golf — you get it (I have already reached the point at which golf seems like it’s not a real word). So, as

I’m in the ACE building, and I promise I’m the least productive person here (besides the guy who’s been napping for the past hour next to a box of Girl Scout Cookies). I’m surfing through my high school newspaper archives, reminiscing about those simpler times at my alma mater, T.C. Williams High School. And, while

Looking across the classroom, I see them all abound with my classmates behind them, pattering and pecking away. Without saying a word, I can tell their life stories — or at least, some fairly amusing guesses about dramatized lives of intrigue they may lead. From his sticker, I can tell he is a frequenter of
