Hey everyone!

So there are only three weeks left of the semester!!! Even though the semester has been winding down, there  has been no shortage of events going on on campus!

This past Friday was Nancy Kreiter Research Day, in which students from every discipline presented their research papers, posters, or performed musical pieces for family, friends, and the campus community! It was a great opportunity for students to present their work. The event happens every year, and in addition to being able to see/hear wonderful presentations from fellow students at the end of the day there is an awesome picnic where everyone comes together to eat, listen to music, and see who won awards for their presentation! I was a first-time presenter this year and had a lot of fun!

This week is also loaded with exciting events, because this weekend is SpringFest! The weekend is going to kick off Friday with the Color War! In this event the classes compete against each other in a capture the flag style game. The big difference is that in order to get tagged out in the game a student has to be hit with paint! It's going to be a messy, colorful blast! On Saturday are the Carnival and Foam Party! And all of these events are completely free to Notre Dame students! A big shout out to our Campus Activities Board for putting all of the SpringFest events together. This organization is one example of the many ways you can make a difference as a student on our campus by getting involved!



I'll be sure to post tons of pictures next week of all the festivities!

Oh yeah, and just an update on the countdown- 26 DAYS TIL GRADUATION!!!!

Just a quick update for anyone interested- softball is going great! We've got 5 wins so far (and definitely more to come). This weekend we have an overnight because we have double-headers on Saturday and Sunday which is going to be tons of fun. Every time I remember this is going to be my last season as a Notre Dame athlete I want to cry because all of us are practically family! Anyway, wish us luck and I'll keep you posted!
