What's the word...

A lot of chatter

... in the Steds hallway? Yes, what is the word in the hallway on this Friday, the eve before the National Championship Game in Atlanta? Well, to be honest, there weren't many words because there were not many people about in the hallways because they're all on their way to Atlanta! But there is one... Camden Hershberger! On the Championship Game, Hershberger, Steds freshman, Red Room sports analyst, and resident Indianian, said... well... you'll just have to listen to podcast to hear what he said! And believe me, Hershberger said a lot!

Welcome friend!

... may have snowed, but it's not a complete loss! Yes, the false prognostications of the weathermen as well as our hopes of snowless January with mild temps may ALL have been dashed with the recent snowfall, we do not have a complete loss at Notre Dame. Yes, even now, with everything covered in white and single digit, even sub-zero, wind chills, it is NOT a complete loss. How can that be? Because after the snow left, a new friend appeared! Yes, after the snow left, this friend, a snowman, appeared on the west side of La Fortune. How long will he stay? Who knows, but you know what, we're just glad he's here. On the appearance of this new friend, Fr. Ralph said, "We welcome this surprise wayfarer to campus, who lifts our spirits and warms our hearts, on these cold, cold days... and I think he's looking to move to St. Edward's Park. I would too!"

Surprise!

... snowed. Just when "they" said we were in the clear, it happened. Now, with twenty/twenty hindsight, we should have known better, but as it was, we pushed the pause button on reality and believed what we heard. Yes, we believe that there would be no snow, that there could be no snow. Why? Because the weathermen in South Bend said so! That's why. And you know what, they were wrong! IT SNOWED! On the unexpected snow, Fr. Ralph stated, "One again, we are painfully reminded of the price for living in this little slice of heaven called Northwest Indiana. Thankfully, I don't have to shovel."

It's back...

Ekizian: On his throne...

... to classes. That's right. Classes resumed yesterday, and as did they, it also meant that Ed's, everyone's favorite on campus eatery, resumed operations, serving up what everyone wants and needs to fuel that late night studying. And while the prices haven't changed since its founding, something has changed. Oh, don't worry. It has nothing to do with the menu nor the friendly and helpful staff. Then what's changed? The chair! The incommodious chair that all Ed's workers sat in has been replaced. Yes, gone is the discomfort and lower back pain imparted by an unforgiving and ill-designed chair because now the heavenly form of a chair, comfort, swiveling  has descended from Plato's Heaven. On being the first to use the new Ed's chair, Aidan Ekizian, Ed's culinary food representative and resident Californian, shared, "While working at Ed’s, there are times you need a break and that new chair is a game changer with its extreme comfort!"

Something old...

O'Hara: Observant smiler

... something new. Recently, a treasured hall photo has made a move. Yes, the old, historical photo of campus (circa 1930) was moved from the third floor study lounge to the first floor hallway. Conveniently located by the elevator, this cherished historical photo is now in a high traffic area, being seen now not just the lucky eight persons to be able to study in the lounge but ALL the people coming and going via the Hall elevator. And that's a lot of people! On the enjoyment from seeing the historical photo of campus in the first floor hallway, Cole O'Hara, Steds "Da' Manager" of Ed's and resident Californian, shared, “Apparently this old photo was moved here recently. Truthfully, I didn’t even notice until Father Ralph pointed it out to me. He also advised me that it is dangerous to overlook the past as it may affect your future. Wise words as always.”

Your Sunday picture...

Sunglasses not needed

... from Notre Dame. Campus is now awash in January, and along with February, these are the two most difficult months to endure at Notre Dame. Just when you thought it couldn't get any more greyer than it is, well, it does. Just when you thought it couldn't get any colder than it is, well, it does. And just when you thought it couldn't be any cloudier than it is, well, it does. But amid the grey, cold, and clouds, there can be some winter beauty. Enjoy this sunrise and your Sunday wherever you may be!

Miami...

Matt and Quinn Littlefield with Marshall Smith...

... in January was never so sweet! As Irish fans were invaded Miami to cheer on their team, so too the Stedsmen! Coming from all corners of the country, from Los Angeles to Tampa, from Pasadena to Martha's Vineyard, and all points in between, Stedsmen descended upon the "305," doing what they could to help ensure a victory at the Orange Bowl. And like the ND March Band, the Stedsmen rose to the occasion and did their part... for the team and of course, for Hall and King too! On attending the Orange Bowl, Matt Littlefield, father of Quinn Littlefield and wearing the official Steds baseball jersey, stated, "Steds repping in Miami!"

And up the road a bit, in Pensacola to be exact, another Steds gathering was happening between former RA and resident. That's right, Peter Raus, former first floor Steds RA and  resident Californian, watched the game with his former first floor watch, Levi Cherek, now Steds senior and resident Floridian, at a local, pro-ND watering hole. On watching the game on TV, Raus shared, " we cheered on the Irish in Florida, well, as far from Miami as possible while STILL being in the same state. Go Irish!"
