I love jewelry. From the moment I got my ears pierced at the ripe age of 7, jewelry has played an integral part in shaping the way I look and feel. Whenever an outfit seems incomplete, adding my favorite pair of hoop earrings or sliding on a stack of bracelets as a final touch usually

I first watched porn when I was 15 years old. As a young teen, I thought “addiction” was a word reserved for drug users and alcoholics. I didn’t know that a collared-shirt Catholic school kid could be so controlled by the things he saw on his cracked iPhone 6 screen. As a soccer player, I

I really hope no one reads this title and agrees with my sarcasm. A year ago this month, the world came to a halt as Russian tanks roared across the Ukrainian border. After eight years of political standstill and insurgency encounters, the full might of Putin’s army finally made good on the promise to reclaim

“Do not fear, for I am with you, be not afraid, for I am your God.” (Isaiah 41:10) These words echo in the hearts of many of us in the Notre Dame family. The past few years have been strenuous, to say the least, both for our school and our country. We students have never

Editor’s note: This article contains discussions of eating disorders.

When trying to describe this campus, we often make reference to the “Notre Dame bubble.” This “bubble” is often talked about as a negative, associating it with a sort of conformity to a like mindset that comes from shutting the outside world out. But it really isn’t always a bad thing. As college students, there

The past week was, from a political perspective, nothing short of extraordinary. Americans experienced what seemed to be a constant shifting of public interest and media coverage. Our collective attention was focused on the wrap up of the presidential campaign, then moved to the election and now, after the greatest presidential upset in recent political

As a double Domer alumnus, I have always been proud of Our Lady’s University and especially of the courage and great work of ND Right to Life. Your thoughtful open letter in The Observer to the person who vandalized your display makes me even more proud. It was a brilliant way to respond to what

Health care is a hot-button topic in the U.S. today, especially with the upcoming presidential elections. We, Partners In Health (PIH) Engage, challenge you to find a single newspaper where the issue is not mentioned several times a week. Yet, while this issue is much-debated, the myopic focus on the U.S. health care system eclipses

It could have been a comedy: celebrity No. 1 dishes about celebrity No. 2 in an interview; celebrity No. 2 calls out celebrity No. 1 on live television (with celebrity No. 3 cheering in the background); America celebrates. Except it was the VMAs (which could be classified as a comedy based on the outfits), and celebrity No. 1 was Miley
