I have half a semester left at Notre Dame. Time seems to be flying by and in the blink of an eye, I already see myself sitting in the stadium trying to stay focused throughout the commencement ceremony. This semester has been one of intense meditation and reflection: what I did and did not do

With the ending of my Tuesday class at 10:45 in DeBart and the rumblings of my stomach, I leave the classroom into the swarm of students in the hallway that make me feel like I am a freshman in high school again. Escaping the stampede with most of my limbs intact, I rush outside to

“You work in the basement of South Dining Hall? That’s so far from P-Dub,” friends say — words languishing with pity. I haven’t quite nailed my response yet, but consider this my rebuttal: The 10-minute walk back to Pasquerilla West Hall at 4 a.m. is one of my favorites in the world. The sidewalk tiles

I know the South vs. North debate is a bit tired. We all have our opinions, and most of us refuse to budge. We agonize over food quality, dining layout, chair comfort, TV access, even the illusive criteria of “vibes,” but I think there is one category we neglect in these overwrought conversations. I must

The dining hall food is terrible. There, I had to rip the Band-Aid off. I will not sugarcoat the quality of the dining hall food. On the whole, it is simply bad. Before I begin listing off my grievances, I need to establish a few things. My opinions are based off my experience predominately at

Notre Dame’s grab-and-go lives up to its name for convenience, but some students are questioning how the point-based prices are determined. Open between 10 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., the grab-n-go locations in North and South dining halls offer quick meal options for students on the run, including snacks, drinks and pre-packaged sandwiches. Each swipe is

A worker shortage is rippling across the country, and the Notre Dame campus is also feeling its impact. Whiteboards encouraging workers to join the Campus Dining staff and shortened Taco Bell hours highlight the underlying labor shortage on campus. The problem is exacerbated by both nationwide labor shortages and lower levels of student employment. “As

Campus Dining hosted Harvest Festival Thursday night, offering a wide variety of sustainable food options from local vendors including bison stew, smoked turkey, fall root vegetables and fry bread. The Harvest Dinner was held at North and South Dining Halls to provide students with a healthy fall meal while celebrating the Feast of St. Francis

Over the past two years and — *checks watch* — one month, I have written quite literally thousands of words in the pages of The Observer. As if that wasn’t unhinged enough, I wrote most of them with no expectation that anyone I know or love would read them. Yes, journalism is a public service,

A universal part of the Notre Dame experience is students’ strong feelings concerning the dining halls. Whether you prefer the comfy booths of North Dining Hall or the classic wooden tables of South, allegiances run deeply. Regardless of opinions on dining hall superiority, we can all agree that the dining halls are often sites of
