As my final semester of college hurtles towards me, I have — likely more times than necessary — stopped to ask myself: what has defined my four years here?
On Tuesday, Eamon Ryan, the former Irish minister for the environment, Green Party politician and current chair of the European Affordable Housing Advisory Board, came to Notre Dame to speak on climate action and hope.
On a windy afternoon in Boston, the now No. 10 Fighting Irish topped their rival Eagles by a score of 25-10. In a game where many Notre Dame fans were expecting utter domination, the team struggled to amass much control over its much inferior opponent. Heading into the matchup, the two teams had been trending in completely opposite directions. Boston College won their first game of the season against Fordham, but rattled off seven consecutive losses heading into Saturday’s Holy War. As for the Irish, dropping games one and two had been followed by a five-game winning streak, including a win over rival USC last time out. Despite this underwhelming performance on Saturday in Beantown, there were still hopeful trends that Irish fans should feel confident about heading into Navy week.
Over the last week and a half, I have scrupulously avoided asking people about their fall break. To do so would have entailed giving a reciprocal explanation of what I did. I would have had to explain how fall break, spring break’s less-glamorous cousin, saw me sweating it out at a dissertation boot camp in Hesburgh Library. I would have groaned. I would have griped. I would have cursed in my head while marveling outwardly at how much work I got done. Thankfully, it’s November now. So people don’t care about fall break anymore.

When director Yorgos Lanthimos achieved his first proper mainstream success in 2018 with his film “The Favourite,” I became a bit weary of his future career path as I was worried he would begin to lose his peculiar sense of humor and storytelling in favor of commercial success. I am happy to report that after viewing his new film, “Bugonia,” I could not have been more wrong.
“What If?” is Alexander Stewart’s second studio album following “bleeding heart” in 2024.
Notre Dame emerged victorious last Saturday against Boston College, but it is certainly fair to say that the Irish were looking a little bit out of the game. However, even with a lackluster performance, there were certainly some bright spots, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Notre Dame had a very solid game on defense, only allowing 10 points. Today, we grade each defensive group’s performance in the win against the Eagles.
On Oct. 21, the University announced an endowment to the Notre Dame International Security Center, gifted by Kevin and Cynthia O’Brien. In addition to allowing for greater scholarship opportunities, the Center will be named in honor of the O’Briens.
This past weekend, Notre Dame was able to scrape out a win against the now 1-8 Boston College Eagles. However, the team on the field didn’t look like the same one we’ve been watching all season. Although special teams left a lot to be desired, some argue that offense wasn’t at their best either. The game, played the day following Halloween, was quite a spooky one to watch.
This past Friday, the Notre Dame men’s and women’s cross country teams travelled down to Louisville, Kentucky, for the 2025 Atlantic Coast Conference Championships, and both left the meet with top-five team finishes.
As many of my fellow off-campus students know, food is expensive. The advice I constantly receive, which I’m sure most of us can relate to, is to “cook everything at home.” I constantly hear: “Groceries are so much cheaper than takeout!” “You’ll feel much better if you make it yourself!” “Home-cooked meals are healthier!” And technically, all of this is true.
Now that we have all recovered from the frights of Halloweekend, it’s time to bury our costumes in the backs of drawers, toss out any straggling jack-o-lanterns and start mentally preparing for the next big holiday: Thanksgiving. Many of us are already dreaming about catching the quickest plane, bus or car back home in time for a cozy, home-cooked Thanksgiving dinner. There, we’ll gather with family and friends as healthy portions of turkey, stuffing and politics are inevitably served.
