Overcoming purgatory

Pablo Lacayo | Tuesday, February 14, 2023

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

Journey to Notre Dame

Isabelle Kause | Monday, October 10, 2022

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

11 popular off-campus housing options near the tri-campus

Alysa Guffey and Maggie Eastland | Monday, October 3, 2022

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

This time is yours

Alysa Guffey | Thursday, August 25, 2022

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

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 dining hall is a sacred place

Letter to the Editor | Friday, May 13, 2022

“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

Don’t live for lasts

Abby Patrick | Monday, December 6, 2021

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 just wanna feel this moment

Sydni Brooks | Wednesday, October 27, 2021

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

The story of us (Notre Dame and me)

Ellie Konfrst | Tuesday, August 31, 2021

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

Let’s build a culture of encounter

BridgeND | Wednesday, April 28, 2021

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

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.
