With exam week quickly approaching, Saint Mary’s students took to the Dalloway’s clubhouse for a panel on stress management sponsored by the Student Government Association (SGA). “As far as we understand tonight, the basic idea is that we’re here for you,” said panelist and Saint Mary’s life coaching consultant Becky Lindstrom. “We’re here to answer

My eyes fluttered open and my hand gravitated toward my phone. Picking it up, I casually glanced at the time. 8:30 a.m. I blinked a few times, hoping I had groggily misread it, thinking there was no way I was stupid enough to sleep through class registration.

While you are in school, it can be so easy to sink into a feeling of being the least prepared, the least intelligent and that you are not handling responsibilities with the ease everyone else seems to. Personally, this feeling always sets in around the fourth or fifth week of school, when I typically have

It’s that time of year again. Football is back, the library is starting to feel crowded and students all around are starting to break out their business professional attire. That’s right: it’s hiring season. Whether you’re a senior trying to figure out what the heck to do with your future, a junior trying to score

The great irony of learning a new language is that you know you sound slightly “off” (read: horrible), yet you still have to practice to improve. To me, speaking Spanish as a non-native speaker often seems frustrating and silly, but in this sense, I believe I am like the typical Notre Dame student — afraid
