The entrepreneurial...

Yallaly and Larson: They mean business.

... spirit is alive and well at Steds. While many might be playing Clash Royale, hooping it up at the Duncan Student Center gym, or just plain napping, two Steds freshmen have used their free time to take a business idea to the next level. Gabriel Yallaly and Connor Larson created "Air2U," a service that is focused on car care, particularly tires. This enterprising duo recently gave a pitch at the Notre Dame Idea Center competition and are now waiting to hear if they and their idea will advanced. On their enterprising spirit, Yallaly, Steds freshman and resident Illinoian, said, "It's really about you. Air2U is a tire filling subscription service that saves you money and keeps you safe," while Larson, Steds freshman and resident Iowan, added, "Check out our website, air2uservices.com for more info, we are excited to launch at ND by the end of the month! And that's not hot air."

Good luck to Yallaly and Larson, and you can hear more about them and their idea on this week's podcast.

Something for...

It's on...

... everyone. Yes, that's what is Super Chinese Groundhog Presidents' Day is! It's a holiday only at Steds where multiple holidays and events from both January and February are celebrated in ONE mega holiday. It seems impossible, but Steds celebrates Super Bowl Sunday, Chinese New Year, Groundhog's Day and Presidents' Day in one celebration like none other. Why does Steds celebrate Super Chinese Groundhog President's Day? Because, like always, Stedsmen dared to dream the impossible dream, and like in years past, Stedsmen held their special mega holiday on Super Bowl Sunday, serving Chinese food from JW Chen's, pizza from Domino's, and cherry and apple pies from Martin's in the Flounge. To be honest, it was surprising that the Flounge was able to contain all the explosive celebratory energy of this most special day. On his first Super Chinese Groundhog President's Day, an unnamed Steds freshman shared, "I never knew this was possible."

Your Sunday picture...

Of course, clearing the snow tomorrow!

... from Notre Dame. Here's a picture of Lake Lot, a student parking near St. Mary's Lake on the west side of campus. As you can see, a recent snowfall blanketed everything with another 5 to 6 inches of snow. Enjoy, and enjoy your Sunday wherever you are!

Saturday Squirrel.

Hard, hard times

With all the snow, hard times these days have been for our furry friends. A record seventy-eight inches of snow has fallen which has prevented our campus friends from unearthing their buried treasures. Still, this squirrel, spotted on God Quad by the Knights of Columbus building, tried to dig through the snowpack in an attempt to find some sustenance. Sadly, it was in vain. On being spotted, this squirrel non-verbaled, "Is spring coming any time soon?"
