If you had to pick one defining theme of media from this decade, it would be “generational trauma.” Our Best Picture winners are about generational trauma (“Everything Everywhere All at Once”). Our critically acclaimed shows are about generational trauma (“The Bear”). Even our Disney films are about generational trauma (“Encanto”). I’m not saying these are bad — far from it — but the topic has been exhaustively mined this decade. So when I heard that another generational trauma film was getting buzz at Cannes last year, I was skeptical. But “Sentimental Value” has only grown in stature since its Cannes debut and emerged as a dark horse at the Oscars, scoring a whopping nine nominations, including Best Picture and spots for all four of its main actors. So when the film came to town this weekend in the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center, I locked in. And as the credits rolled, I was left stunned. Director Joachim Trier’s portrait of a family confronting decades of grief and pain is a radically empathetic look at the ties that bind.

With 364 days left until next Christmas, I sit cross-legged on my bedroom floor, which is strewn with Christmas presents, books and scattered pieces of laundry. The time has come to clean out my backpack for spring semester, a task I enjoy because it feels like I’ve reached a milestone. I’m turning the page on the past and looking forward to something new. To start, I unzip the main pouch of my backpack and slide out the five-subject notebook I used for my fall classes. Flipping through the pages, I notice that towards the end of each subject, bright colors wink out at me. I pause, stop flipping and land on a page of philosophy notes dated from early December.

The dissimulation evident in the comments of Prof. Susan Ostermann quoted in The Observer, Jan. 30, gives new meaning to the phrase “Paris is well worth a Mass.” Her clever efforts to avoid addressing her strident pro-abortion advocacy can only be described as outright evasion.

In recent months, those viewing Notre Dame’s website and social media presence may have noticed a simplified version of the University’s crest which does not include the Latin phrase “vita, dulcedo, spes.” The phrase, which appears on the seal of the University beneath a cross, translates to “life, sweetness, hope” and is taken from the “Salve Regina” prayer. This change in branding is part of an effort to emphasize the University’s Catholic identity according to director of design and brand identity Tim Legge.

I was recently browsing the news, i.e. 4chan.org, and I found out something about myself that changed my whole perspective on life. I am a manlet with a weak jawline, small wrist circumference, a negative canthal tilt, and a fear of anything with estrogen. This explains why women always run away from me! It’s not because I scream every time I see one, but it's because I’m hideous! It doesn’t matter, though, I know my boys got me. So I went looking for approval from my fellow man, and I posted a photo of myself on a message board. Scrolling through the comments, I saw one reply that just said, “ah hell nah its over for lil bro.” I fell to my knees in the middle of my pediatrician’s office. Is it really over for me … lil bro? This cannot be, I will not accept this.

Since returning to campus in mid-January, students have grown used to trekking through the snow-covered sidewalks to get to classes, particularly within the past week. While the weather hasn’t been severe enough for Notre Dame to cancel classes (which the University hasn’t done since 2022), that doesn’t mean the snow hasn’t affected students’ ability to attend classes. For students with mobility aids, the accumulation of snow and slush on the University’s sidewalks has posed significant barriers.
