You bring heaven down to me

Dane Sherman | Friday, February 17, 2023

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. Or maybe it was just them trying to save money. My legs swung, unable to touch the ground. Their nervous

‘Impermeably and forever’: Reflecting on Rory Gilmore’s graduation speech

Mannion McGinley | Friday, January 27, 2023

“Gilmore Girls” has been a comfort show of mine for years. Through my many watches, I’ve processed that Rory Gilmore is no perfect character. In fact, she’s one of the farthest main characters from “perfect” that I have come to know in my 22 years of reading, watching and learning. While she and Lorelai didn’t

Snow days

Isabelle Kause | Friday, January 27, 2023

A few days ago on my way across campus, instead of hurrying to get to where I was going like I normally do, I took time to admire the snow. I noticed how beautiful the Golden Dome looked as the snow fell down and how much people seemed to be embracing the moment. Being from

On saying thank you

Hannah Hebda | Friday, December 2, 2022

We don’t have many formal Thanksgiving traditions in the Hebda household. The holiday is pretty standard for us. I love cooking with my mom, watching football with my brothers and my dad and simply spending time with my family. One very basic tradition we do have, however, is one where each of us says something

Twenty years from now

Cora Haddad | Friday, November 18, 2022

Somewhere in Indiana I will discover myself, I hope. On Tuesday, I entered my twentieth year of life. There is so much life I have already lived. So much time spent laughing and crying and crying some more. Where do I see myself twenty years from now? Hopefully, I am far away from my haunting

On snow and purpose

Reyna Lim | Friday, November 18, 2022

I have very little idea of what purpose means, but today I’m writing about it anyway. This is how I make sense of things. I’ve addressed it in this column before: purpose, meaning, being 21 and utterly confused. My dedication to seeming continually lost is less of an artistic choice, and more of a direct

You don’t know me! I don’t even know me!

Megumi Tamura | Friday, October 28, 2022

“Know thyself.” This Socratic maxim is carved into the stone of the entrance to the Temple of Apollo, and it represents a philosophical quest that has challenged all of humanity since consciousness. The quest to know thyself — to understand who we are and why we are — is the greatest point in the state

On your left

Aidan O'Malley | Wednesday, August 24, 2022

This year — my senior year — I’m living off-campus. It was about damn time. I enjoyed dorm life, don’t get me wrong, but there’s only so many communal showers, air condition-less nights and flying rodents a man can handle before he snaps and signs a lease. I’ve always thought of myself as independent, so

The comfort of college

Eva Analitis | Friday, April 22, 2022

My close friends might characterize my college years as a time of (trivial) crises: poring over projects late into the night, leaving Hesburgh Library at sunrise once or twice, having my bike stolen in broad daylight from right outside DeBart, sustaining a black eye from a night-run gone wrong on an uneven sidewalk, agonizing over

With gratitude

Mary Ellen Woods | Thursday, April 14, 2022

One of the areas we explored in the Fellows Class of the Inspired Leadership Initiative (ILI) Fellows is the concept of gratitude. Our discussion focused on gratitude as a way of life — being truly appreciative of the joys in life, both small and large. As my time in ILI and on-campus draws to a

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

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.
