Don’t delay discernment!

Joey Jegier | Friday, January 27, 2023

Before coming to Notre Dame, I had never heard of discernment. Now, I would be lost without it. Discernment has not only brought joy and clarity, but it has also become the subject of my senior thesis. My research investigates the nature of discernment at Notre Dame, so I have become familiar with the theories

It’s time to be real

Genevieve Coleman | Monday, January 23, 2023

Over break, a few friends and I went to a coffee shop in South Bend. Besides serving one of the best lattes I’ve had in my life, the store is full of books that can be lent out to customers and handmade goods from local vendors. Needless to say, it’s now one of my favorite

Editor’s note: This column discusses eating disorders and mental health concerns. The mental health crisis in college athletics is an epidemic growing more fatal every day.

‘My Mind and Me’: A heartbreaking look behind the curtain of stardom

Ashley Hedge | Thursday, November 10, 2022

“Let me make you a promise. I’ll only tell you my darkest secrets.” Selena Gomez does just that in her groundbreaking new documentary, “My Mind and Me,” baring herself to the world in a way which few celebrities have.

Way beyond too late

Gracie Eppler | Friday, November 4, 2022

‘Shooter in custody. I am okay.’ 10/24/22. 11:22 a.m.  Tita Marites’ Facebook features snippets of her colorful life: verdant green vegetables, a red rooster, the bright smiling faces of her sons.

‘The Banshees of Inisherin’: An unexpected tragedy

Caitlin Brannigan | Monday, October 31, 2022

It made me feel uncomfortable and sad.  However, perhaps that’s what the film does best: It intends to upset viewers to foster a discussion of mental health. “The Banshees of Inisherin”

We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department and you responded with the request: “Northwestern @ Notre Dame 2014 Football Breakdown”. That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.

A glance at the ballot suggests that this year’s candidates all appear to be human and pro-democracy. This observation may seem obvious or nonsensical, but a look back at the history of SBP elections shows that pro-democracy ideals or even personhood are not characteristic of all candidates.
