At the start of my senior year, I had just emerged from a ten-week stint living in Northwest Arkansas. I had finished a productive internship that gave me good insights into what working in finance looks like in the professional world and was looking forward to kicking off my last year of college on a

My journey to Notre Dame was not that of the average Notre Dame student. During my senior year of high school when applying to colleges, I knew wholeheartedly that I wanted to be at a college that had a warm and welcoming, yet academically rigorous environment, much like the college prep, Jesuit high school I

As October arrives, sophomores and juniors (and even first-years) begin to think about their off-campus migration. A variety of apartment and townhome complexes in the South Bend area offer leases for students, but it can be difficult to navigate all the information available. The Observer has compiled a guide to off-campus housing with information accurate

For 16 years, I’ve measured my life in school years. Fall is an exciting fresh start, full of hope and promise. Winter is a halftime break. Spring is a time to wrap up and summer is a timeless in-between. It’s part of the reason I’ve always disliked spring. The trees and flowers may start to

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

“I wish there was a way to know you were in the good old days before you actually left them.” — Andy Bernard I spent four years at this University. Only in the last couple weeks have I come to appreciate something that is so often overlooked — the dining hall. So, what were the

I’ve been thinking a lot about lasts lately. So have my friends. As a senior, it’s pretty natural to be at least a little preoccupied by endings — they’re everywhere. Last football games as students, last fall semester, last Christmastime on campus, last day of classes, even. I think the fall-to-winter switch lends itself to

I’ve never really been the biggest fan of Halloween, but this year I couldn’t be more excited for the holiday. I have several costumes, planned my hair styles for each one, and have thoroughly prepared myself for the weekend ahead. None of this is at all because I enjoy the sentiments of the holiday, or

I have moved five times during my four years at Notre Dame, and every time I am shocked by the sheer amount of stuff I have. Sure, I wouldn’t ever say I’m a minimalist, but somehow I always find myself packing my car to the absolute brim with posters, storage bins, clothes, command strips and

It’s hard for me to believe that my college career is coming to a close in less than a month. While I intend on living in the moment and making as many more memories as I can in the time that I have left, I’ve already begun the inevitable process of reflecting on the experiences
