This weekend, I decided that spending hours traveling to cram all the tourist attractions of a thousand-year-old city into 24 hours was too stressful, considering midterms are imminent. Instead, I took this weekend to enjoy London and everything it has to offer. After snapping photos of Buckingham Palace and buying keychains of crowns to give my family, I started to realize how most of my touristy weekend had been surrounded by the British monarchy. Obviously, the British monarchy has no real political power, but it has evolved from an institution into a symbolic representation of Britishness. Instead of focusing on the more intense issues, British politics can divert attention to the more glamorous aspects of the state.

Her infectious laughter fills the air, and the rest of us can’t help but smile too. I’m standing on Library Lawn with Victoria Nyanjura, who has just spent two days traveling from Uganda to South Bend. Given the arduous journey, one might be surprised to find the native Ugandan mingling and eating raspberry ice cream late on a Tuesday night – much less agreeing to participate in a fireside chat with me. But those who know Nyanjura well also know that she will make time for anyone.

This Saturday, Oct. 11, Notre Dame will face off against North Carolina State for the fifth time, after their first meeting in the 2003 Gator Bowl. The competition between the two has been extremely split with the Wolfpack winning the first two showdowns and the Irish winning the most recent two matchups; however, both teams will be hungry to extend their lead on the series to 3-2.

Notre Dame’s defense finally held an opponent to single digits this past weekend against Boise State after starting off the year allowing 27, 41, 30 and 13 points respectively to their previous opponents. Coming off last year, Irish fans had high hopes for the returning defense. Through the first four games of the season, those expectations were not met. This past weekend against Boise State definitely marked Notre Dame’s best defensive performance so far, and they will be looking to build off that heading into this Saturday’s showdown with the NC State Wolfpack.

A copious amount of ink has been spilled on the death of the “monoculture”: Nobody has the same interests anymore, with culture having become fragmented and siloed due to the internet and hyper-personalized algorithms. Yet there is one person left who is still able to grab the zeitgeist in a stranglehold and capture everyone’s attention: Taylor Swift. The second wind her career has had in the 2020s has been utterly remarkable to watch. She was already one of the biggest pop stars in the world, but then she ascended to another level; she became an unavoidable leviathan whose every move was fawned over. But, frankly, I think this devotion was somewhat understandable. “Folklore” is one of the best albums of the decade and showcased a remarkable leap forward for Swift’s song-craft; the lyrics are eminently poignant, and the production, courtesy of Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff, is gorgeous.

On Monday, the Saint Mary’s golf team won its second straight event, capturing the season’s third Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) Jamboree. Coming off a team victory in the second jamboree, the Belles were looking to build on their early in-conference success. They would end up doing just that, tying their season low 18-hole score of 312 and earning another top-ranked finish. Following the two victories, the Belles are now first in the conference and are looking to finish the season strong.

Last month, Joe Rudolph released an Observer article titled “Why releasing the American alligator onto Notre Dame grounds is a good idea.“ Rudolph does make some interesting and potentially valid points about releasing alligators onto Notre Dame’s campus. It is worth considering the alleged benefits that alligators would bring in population reduction efforts, ND football strategy and administrative improvements. These are intriguing suggestions that merit closer examination. However, Rudolph’s overall proposal falls short of practicality, for he fails to see how destructive this plan would be on several levels.

On Friday, Oct. 3, South Bend Symphony Orchestra music director Alastair Willis energetically guest-conducted the Notre Dame Symphony Orchestra in a memorable performance at the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center. The Grammy-nominated conductor’s debut and five weeks of practice with the symphony included selections from Sergei Prokofiev’s “Romeo and Juliet” suites along with two other impactful pieces preceding these. Accompanying “Romeo and Juliet” were acting intermissions performed by Willis and the Mary Irene Ryan Family executive artistic director of Shakespeare at Notre Dame, Scott Jackson. The variety of the concert, glistening with talent and unique touches, made for an unforgettable evening and experience.

Burn your jean shorts and throw away those ice cream cones people, fall is finally here! A chill breeze is sweeping through South Bend, and the leaves are turning those familiar hues of red, brown and orange. With this change in weather also comes a change in media. No longer do we need beachy films of hot summer romance; the people yearn for the season of soup and cable knit sweaters. With that said, cozy up with these fall favorites.

The first time I saw Robert Eggers’ 2024 remake of vampire classic “Nosferatu,” I called it “the freakiest film I will watch all year,” a bold claim for just past midnight on New Year’s Day, but thus far an accurate one. The adaptation is not just a supernatural thriller but, from the opening scene, a blatantly psychosexual one. With the Halloween season fast approaching and “Nosferatu” playing at the on-campus Browning Cinema in the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center, I decided to give it a rewatch and hopefully make some sense out of Eggers’ directorial vision. The verdict: There’s just as much sex as the first time. But what could Robert Eggers possibly mean by it?

On Saturday, Notre Dame gained a much-needed win against the unranked Boise State Broncos 28-7, moving the Irish up to No. 16 in the AP Top 25 College Football Poll, just under Michigan and squeaking above Illinois.

The Notre Dame offense put up their second lowest total number of points last Saturday against Boise State in their 28-7 win. That being said, they had set the bar pretty high scoring over 40 points in three of their five games. Today, we grade each offensive position group’s performance in that win against the Broncos.

A couple of days ago, my friend and I attended the Notre Dame women’s soccer game against Louisville. We arrived late and, upon entry, gazed upon a sea of Irish fans, all clad in their best “Irish Wear Green” outfits, filling Alumni Stadium. Seats were few and far between, so we hurried alongside the stadium to find an open spot. My friend pointed out an area, and we sat.
