Editor’s note: This letter includes mentions of sexual assault. A list of sexual assault reporting options and on-campus resources can be found on the Notre Dame, Saint Mary’s and Holy Cross websites. I graduated in January, but I still live in South Bend and come to campus frequently. I am still connected to this community,

As Black History Month draws to a close, our community and the nation as a whole faces the annual question of how we will fight for racial equality and acceptance year-round. In more recent years, many people have come to realize that one month of performative recognition of Black history is nowhere near enough. So,

Beep Beep Beep! My alarm goes off. I reach for my phone to turn off my 7:50 a.m. alarm, the one that rings Monday through Thursday except it is not 7:50 a.m. It is 8:05 a.m. Somehow, I must have instinctively snoozed my alarm, more than once, because I don’t remember it going off the

I’ve done things differently. Tried to be other ways. Spoken more softly. Straightened my hair. Smiled some more. SLOUCHED. All to make those around me more comfortable in a world that was designed to profit off of my agony, and intentionally misunderstand me and then question WHY I’m angry. I’m angry because my screams for

Yeah, I seem to have it together. But I don’t. Yeah, I declared a major. But I am not sure. Yeah, I smile. But I am not happy. Yeah, I am quiet. But so many thoughts run through my mind. Yeah, I seem to have it together. But the inside is under lock and key.

“Crazy” is a term people often use to dismiss the neurodivergence they see in others. It is also a term often used to describe women/non-men with outspoken opinions. Internalized ableism and sexism push me to question myself … am I crazy? Probably. No … no, I’m not. Yes, and so what if I am! No,

There are two possible ways the universe will end. A scary sentence, right? I haven’t even started to talk about the details yet, and the tone of this column is already pretty unnerving. The end of the universe. The expiration date of everything we know. Not exactly your typical water-cooler discussion topic. In fact, I
