Who’s your Galentine? Saint Mary’s students celebrate holiday inspired by television show

Gina Twardosz | Thursday, February 13, 2020

Fictional character Leslie Knope marked Feb. 13 as a day for “ladies celebrating ladies” in the now-infamous “Galentine’s Day” episode of television show “Parks and Recreation.”  Since then, the Knope-ism has exploded into a real holiday, which has become a nationwide celebration of female friendship. “Here at Saint Mary’s, Galentine’s Day allows us to focus

Subtle disgust for Valentine’s Day

Letter to the Editor | Friday, February 15, 2019

Travis Scott filled an entire living room with thousands of roses for his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner. A man proposed with six rings so his now-fiancee could chose which one she liked best. My old friend’s boyfriend bought her a diamond ring as a “promise ring” when they were 17, and unfortunately, that promise only lasted

Seventeen Good, Good Things in This World: Hugs from tall people where you get picked up off the ground for a second. That boom feeling fireworks make in our chests.

Discontinue Valentine’s Day

Anna Mason | Wednesday, February 13, 2019

I have never understood all the hype around Valentine’s Day. As I’ve gotten older, I have grown to dislike this holiday more and more. I appreciate people making sweet gestures and showing people they love and appreciate them. I no longer feel like this holiday sends a positive message. Love messages have turned into a

Seeing past Valentine’s day: dating culture on campus

Soren Hansen | Monday, February 19, 2018

The chocolates, the roses, the heart-shaped pizzas delivered to lucky roommates from long-distance boyfriends — Valentine’s Day has me thinking about dating at Notre Dame; more precisely, the lack of it and why that’s bad for campus social life. To those who acutely feel the pangs of being single in this “cuffing season,” who see

Valentine’s on Ash Wednesday

Elizabeth Greason | Friday, January 19, 2018

One of my high school teachers recently pointed out a distressing dilemma to me. This year, for the first time since 1945, Ash Wednesday will fall on Valentine’s Day. Now, with Valentine’s Day comes chocolate and candy. With Ash Wednesday comes Lent. And here, we reach an impasse. Ash Wednesday and Valentine’s Day are simply

Valentine’s Day Absurdity

Owen Lane | Wednesday, February 22, 2017

Valentine’s Day may have passed a week ago, but that’s okay because the hysterical “Michael Bolton’s Big, Sexy Valentine’s Day Special” is suitable for any (and no) time of year. This hour-long Netflix special is brought to you by the people behind “Comedy Bang! Bang!” and “Pop Star: Never Stop Never Stopping.” Scott Aukerman and The
