To the women who make Notre Dame my home

Maggie Klaers | Wednesday, September 7, 2022

When you hand a little kid a piece of paper and a crayon and tell them to draw “home,” it’s pretty likely that they will draw a triangle stacked on top of a square. Maybe they will add a chimney, a door, a tree and some windows.  As we grow up, a lot of our

Take a chance, make a friend

Anna Hurt | Wednesday, April 13, 2022

I like to think out loud. So, when I was brainstorming for this column, I said out loud, to myself “what should I write my column about?” to which my roommate jokingly replied “you should write it about me.”  She was just kidding, but I think she’s an excellent topic to write about.  She was

Why are there so many roommate horror stories?

Rose Androwich | Monday, November 8, 2021

Dorm life is a big aspect of college especially at schools like Notre Dame, Saint Mary’s and Holy Cross, with both Notre Dame and Saint Mary’s having a residency requirement on campus, to ensure the full college experience for the students. But yet the roommate experience has a great deal of power to make or

Cautious optimisim

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, September 2, 2020

Notre Dame’s announcement to let students attend football games was one that I looked at with cautious optimism, the same way I’ve looked at most campus announcements over the last few weeks. Optimistic because it meant I could go to the games, cautious because I knew there must be a catch. “Students will only be

An homage to friendship

Julianna McKenna | Tuesday, December 3, 2019

Walking into my junior year of college, I was prepared to face a lot. I expected to be busy all the time. I expected to be working harder than ever. I expected to be networking, trying to find internships and attempting to maintain some semblance of a social life. What I didn’t expect was the

On living with extroverts

Sara Schlecht | Wednesday, September 18, 2019

The clock shows 2:30 a.m., and my roommate Maria (the inside column queen) says “Good night, sweethearts” to the room. She then pauses just long enough for me to fall into a blissful almost-but-not-quite sleep. “Sara, call us a term of endearment.” In my exhausted state, I struggle to process her request. “Good night …”

First person (a point of view)

Mike Donovan | Friday, February 16, 2018

It is morning. First, I’m asleep. Like most people, I begin my day in bed, asleep. Then, an alarm goes off. I still sleep. Chris (my roommate) throws a pillow. The aforementioned pillow makes contact with my face. I wake up. Following my awakening (in the least metaphorical sense), I brush my teeth. I do
