A short letter for tired students

Renee Yaseen | Monday, November 9, 2020

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

Memories

Krista Lourdes Akiki | Friday, September 18, 2020

“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

Thomas: Thank you Mookie Betts

Aidan Thomas | Monday, February 17, 2020

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

Bad luck leads to good advice

Gina Twardosz | Thursday, August 30, 2018

Since becoming a junior at Saint Mary’s, I’ve often been accosted by underclassmen in need of advice: “How did you survive your first two years?!” Well, I had a lot of bad luck, and maybe I made some mistakes, but I survived, which I believe is my raison d’etre for writing this now. So, here

The people, not the place

Marek Mazurek | Friday, May 18, 2018

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

Graduation extravaganza

Katie Galioto | Friday, May 18, 2018

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

Thank you to Notre Dame’s finest

Chris Collins | Friday, May 18, 2018

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

A real ending

Megan Valley | Friday, May 18, 2018

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.

That first meeting

Michael Ivey | Friday, May 18, 2018

I remember it like it was yesterday. I had just arrived at Holy Cross College for my freshman year in late August 2014. My older brother Cameron, who attended Notre Dame, urged me to go to the extracurricular fair the University holds at the beginning of every year to see if there was anything I
