I’ve noticed something about the world we live in: The world is always asking for more. More success, more beauty, more attention, more stuff. Everywhere we turn, there is a new standard telling us who we should be and what we should chase.
When my siblings and I were little, my parents forbade us from using the word “hate.” For a while, I viewed it as equal in offense to uttering a curse word (none of which I knew in kindergarten, of course) and would be shocked whenever someone else used it. It didn’t take me long to realize, however, that “hate” is a pretty common word. People used it all the time, and soon young five-year-old me was using it, too — often without even noticing I was doing so.
Since moving in, I call my older sister quite often. Last week on our call, I mentioned going to my Moreau instructor’s house for a class dinner. She found the idea of this dinner intriguing. She also was once a freshman Gateway student, but during the height of the panic of 2020, when building community was difficult.
Last week, The Observer’s own Jonah Tran published an extremely helpful how-to guide on the proper method of writing a boring Opinion article. In a stroke of pedagogical genius, Tran encourages Observer Opinion columnists to maximize their boringness by writing about politics, using buzzwords like “fascism” and citing sources. As I pondered the subject of my column today, I initially drafted an effectively boring article about congressional redistricting (using Tran’s guide as my roadmap, of course).
Student Policy Network (SPN), a student organization at Notre Dame devoted to connecting undergraduates with real-world policy work, has launched its fall 2025 slate of projects. Students were assigned to teams last week, marking the start of a semester of research, advocacy and presentations in partnership with government agencies, think tanks and advocacy organizations.
After dropping two straight matches to Michigan, Notre Dame volleyball was eager to return home and prepare for the opening of ACC conference matches. The Irish completed out-of-conference play with a 3-5 record. Through the beginning of the season, sophomore Morgan Gaerte has been the offensive leader for the team, averaging 4.67 kills per set, placing her among elite company at 15th in the nation. The Irish began the weekend hosting Syracuse on Friday and finished it hosting Boston College on Sunday going 1-1 to sit at 4-6 on the season.
Notre Dame men’s soccer saw their four-match winning streak come to an end on Saturday night, with the visiting SMU Mustangs walking out of Alumni Stadium with a 2-0 victory. The 21st-ranked Irish fell to 5-2-2 on the season, and also had their unbeaten mark atop the ACC table spoiled.
Burnout may be a feeling that we are all familiar with, but what if we all had our own “little forest,” an area holding significance to just us, enabling us to seek refuge from societal pressures? Director Yim Soon-rye ponders this question in the 2018 film “Little Forest.”
When Steve Angeli left through the transfer portal back in April, the choice of Notre Dame’s next starting quarterback seemed like a formality. The combination of junior Kenny Minchey’s play in fall camp and concerns about how ready freshman CJ Carr really was to take the reins made that decision more complicated. Just over a week before a daunting home opener on the road against Miami, head coach Marcus Freeman and his staff put their full faith in the freshman. Through four games, Carr hasn’t just proven them right. He has given the Irish a whole new ceiling.
This last Friday was full of new music releases, as artists scramble to release music before Taylor Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl” comes out Oct. 3. The album is likely to dominate the charts. This week alone saw releases from Doja Cat, Olivia Dean, Tate McRae and Mariah Carey — not to mention Ed Sheeran’s latest album, “Play,” which came out only a couple weeks ago on Sept. 12.
It’s been an exhausting year. Our country has descended into a funhouse of horrors where things are as stupid as they are evil. It feels like most people have been in a daze, unsure how to process the colossal dismantling of everything. Enter Paul Thomas Anderson (PTA), the wunderkind auteur with one of the most beloved filmographies in all of cinema. His films span so many different moods, periods and genres; the only consistent trait is that they’re all bangers. PTA’s last film, “Licorice Pizza,” was a nostalgic ode to age gap relationships and sleazy entrepreneurship. His latest film, “One Battle After Another,” was released in theaters this past weekend. There’s been a lot of excitement and curiosity surrounding this one; its staggeringly high budget of around $150 million had many scratching their heads as to why Warner Bros. would throw so much money at an arthouse director, and rumors that it was an adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s “Vineland” intrigued the literature world. But the film lives up to its hype and then some. “One Battle After Another” rattles with urgency and vitality, tapping into the current moment and shattering our despondency with some masterful filmmaking.
After righting the ship against Purdue at home, the Irish took a trip to Fayetteville to face one of the highest-powered offenses in the country. Through four weeks, Arkansas ranked top-10 nationally in yards per play (552) and yards per play (8.12), presenting a daunting task for an Irish defense that has looked a shell of its 2024 self.
On Saturday afternoon, No. 22 Notre Dame stormed into Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium and annihilated Arkansas. In their 56-13 thrashing, the Irish scored on each of their first six touchdown drives, improving to 2-2 on the season. Here’s how Notre Dame called off the Hogs in Fayetteville.
On Saturday, Keough Hall held their annual chariot race at 10:15 a.m. on South Quad. This year’s race was in support of the charity Reins of Life, a nonprofit organization providing therapeutic horseback riding to adults and children with disabilities.
ND investigates past rector for sexual misconduct
Each semester, Notre Dame’s undergraduate colleges and schools offer a number of one-credit courses which introduce students to in-depth topics without the workload and time commitment of a typical course.
On Thursday, special agent Patrick Duffy of the Federal Bureau of Investigation delivered a lecture on the largest known white-collar crime in U.S. history. Duffy discussed his perspective as one of the lead agents on the case in the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme fraud in the Jordan Auditorium at the Mendoza College of Business.
Last Wednesday, the student senate voted to impeach St. Edward’s Hall senator Michael Heffernan in a 22-11 vote.
Notre Dame momentarily restored calm to a panicking fanbase with its 56-30 victory against Purdue. However, the defense was anything but convincing, allowing 23 points and 286 total yards to the Boilermakers in the first half. It tightened up in the second 30, but still left many doubts.
Matt Brower has been an employee of Campus Dining at Notre Dame for 12 years, running Decio Café for the past eight years. Everything about the restaurant is familiar to him: the recipes, the faces and the steady flow of students. This year, however, he worries it will look a little different for him and the rest of the University’s dining staff.
