Starry-eyed or teary-eyed: A review of ‘The Mario Galaxy Movie’

“The movie theater hates to see us coming,” I tell my equally cinephilic sister every time I’m home for a holiday break. Most recently during Easter break, I managed to attend two movies in my 4-day trip — numbers I’m hoping to increase during the summer season. My nephew and I put our Cinemark Rewards to use at “The Mario Galaxy Movie”: an energetic film to both its benefit and downfall.

Jeffery highlights team’s success, strength in lacrosse

The Notre Dame men’s lacrosse team has been incredible this season. Through eight games, they sit at 7-1 and are ranked No. 2 in the country with a chance to become No. 1 if they earn a win on Saturday against No. 1 North Carolina. A lot has helped the Irish get to this point, and one of the main contributions is the Irish are able to find offensive production. One of those underrated pieces is sophomore midfielder Matt Jeffery. The reigning ACC freshman of the year has 8 goals and 5 assists so far this season, exceeding his totals from last season in both aspects. He has picked up a point in all but one of the games this year and has 4 goals in the past 3 games.

Artemis II is an inspiration to keep going

Do you know what a Vulcan is? Have you ever heard someone yell “frak”? Have you attempted to grow potatoes in your own poop? These are all famous sci-fi references. I have indulged in all forms of science fiction for most of my life, starting with the post-scarcity world of Star Trek and branching out into complex and deeply human stories. For the past week, I have felt a little closer to every short story, book, movie and TV show. I even changed my lock screen to a picture of the Earth peeking out behind the moon, a reminder of the shifting perspectives we face as we inch further into the cosmos.
