I am the kind of person who tries to find love in the tiniest places. Sure, it’s easy to find love in the hug of a friend or in the words “I love you.” But I think it’s much more meaningful to look for it in places you don’t always expect it. As a sad

There are a lot of things that come up during the three eight to 10-hour sequences a week when The Observer produces a new paper. There are even more ways to remember them, from the old papers hanging around our office to stories I’ve heard from writers past and present. One of the ways our

At the close of the 2021 season, defensive end Isaiah Foskey opted to return to Notre Dame rather than head to the NFL. In January, Foskey gave several reasons why he intended to stay. “I believe in Coach Freeman and I just believe in the whole team that we can actually win a national championship,”

Second-semester seniors are pretty uniquely situated compared to the rest of the student body. Having successfully survived seven semesters of college courses, we are hardly daunted by an eighth. There’s a confident ease about us as we spend our remaining undergraduate days ambling around the quads and along the lakes, roaming the halls of the

I remember my first day of class at the University of Notre Dame vividly. I stood swaying in the blustery wasteland at the intersection of Debart and Fitzpatrick, clutching a note card in my hand with information on my classes and their starting times scribbled frenziedly. I was five minutes late, and despite numerous Google

Most of my life gets planned out on yellow legal pads. I find comfort in plans, to-do lists and spreadsheets, and have been known to get physically uncomfortable when I don’t know what’s coming. So, no; I was not expecting this week to go very well for me I feel as though I’m in limbo

Before my Notre Dame Google account goes away this summer, I need to do some file transfers. At the top of my to-do list is saving my Google Drive. My files are organized by semester, and they are essentially my academic life. Here are some of the ones I’ll save: Semester one: Short essays for

11:45 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 26, 2015. That was the moment that forever changed how I viewed the work done in the basement of South Dining Hall by the wonderful people who work for The Observer. It started with a simple statement: “People are saying Fr. Ted died on Twitter.” I don’t remember who exactly said

They can be
