Three Concerts, One Sound … Are Y’all Sick of Country Yet?
I’m not sure if this trend was intentional, but as a lifelong country music fan, I’m not complaining. This year, Zach Bryan, Dylan Gossett and Luke Combs have all taken to the Notre Dame stage to perform their similarly twangy tunes. Are three concerts of the same genre excessive?
I say no!…

A Legacy Never Forgotten
The Funeral of Lou Holtz
7 a.m. Beat Biking Changed My Life
Lately, I’ve been feeling off. Leading up to the Holy Half, I injured my ankle and couldn’t run. I was stagnant for most of Spring Break, and now with only a few weeks left until the half,* I had no idea how to keep training without running. That is, until a friend told me about beat biking. I had…
Remembering Lou Holtz
God. Country. Notre Dame.
Three pillars that have shaped Our Lady’s University for 184 years. No figure has embodied them more fiercely than the late, great Lou Holtz.
Reading the Room
Dear all fellow rejectees,
As an extremely forward person, I’ve had a fair amount of experience with rejection. What’s puzzling, yet exciting, to me is that each rejector is different. Take, for example, this most recent time. A boy I wasn’t at first interested in (he’s a little too close to…

No, A Dining Hall Meal is Not a Date.
There are many questions I’ve asked myself after a dining hall meal: Where does the Poke bowl fish come from? How many variations of fried rice can South serve in a week? But never once have I left the dining hall wondering, “What are we?” That’s because bonding over aversions to dining hall food…

…Story of a Semestr-ationship
We’ve all experienced him before. The guy who sat in front of you on the first day of lecture, whose dark brown eyes and perfect hair left you swooning at 9:25 a.m. As you walked out of class, hoping to accidentally bump into him on your way out the door, you immediately texted your best friends all…
The Law of Attraction
Dear those with a “platonic” friend,
This week, my roommates made their suspicions clear that my boy best friend may have feelings for me. Since then, this input has corrupted my mind every time the two of us are together. My inner dialogue relentlessly asks, “Do I like him?” and “Would he…

First Date Hot Takes
For someone who doesn’t think about who I’d want to date much, I sure think about the dates themselves an awful lot. Frequently, when I’m trapped in the musty back corner of 117 Hayes-Healy, scrawling down math equations I can barely comprehend, I give up and
