Dear OSU Fan Who Heckled Me On My 9 a.m. Walk to DeBart,
Are you employed? Are you proud of yourself? Have you experienced any success in either your personal or professional life since you graduated high school 25 years ago? Are you from South Bend? Did Notre Dame reject you when you were…
It’s your brother! It’s your ex! No, it’s your Marriage Pact!

Hi, Notre Dame. My name is Alyssa, and I’m a first-year student in Ryan Hall. A little about me — I am very first-year. Very student. I pull up Google Maps every time I leave Ryan Hall. If you use a bike or skateboard or anything with wheels, there’s a 90% chance you have or will have run me over…
CORBY’S
Do you remember the first guy in your high school to get a tattoo? That’s the Dirty Shirley down at Corby’s. He’s a pretty good guy, yes, and you like running into him, sure, but you probably aren’t texting him to meet up over Christmas break. If your buddy buys you a Dirty Shirley…
The Shirt Dress Halter ???
It’s your freshman year, and you and your absolute best friend of two weeks are hitting the bookstore just before the first game day with one goal in mind: The Shirt. You carefully select a men's medium, and the next morning, you put it on, ready to slay the…
The first-year residential life process is a bit like going to a restaurant. The Notre Dame Division of Student Affairs has carefully curated a menu of random roommates. Unfortunately, you don’t get to order for yourself. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t peruse the options!

Things to Pack:
A Wii or a Nintendo Switch
Whether you got a Switch for Christmas a few years ago or you can find the old dusty Wii Console bought by your parents in 2008, you should pack a medium to play Mario Kart.This may be a strange first item, but there are benefits of…
For devoted football attendees like myself, the spring semester is a bit of an uphill climb. Weekends feel different. Breaks are few and far between. The weather is inconsistent with winter one day and spring the next. Thus, spring break is a much-needed and widely-anticipated getaway.
