The Fighting Irish Fight Back
University of Notre Dame

If anyone knows me they know that I'm a huge Notre Dame fan so this week when the men's basketball team beat 9th ranked Louisville I was more than proud of my favorite team. Being ranked 23rd, they're holding a record 14-2 with a win over Louisville (who was ranked 9th) and unranked Clemson.

Their win over Louisville was a 77-70 victory. Currently having four game winning streak after a tough loss Villanova, the Irish have proven that they are more than capable of bouncing back with a stronger offense. Senior Steve Vasturia helped lead the Irish to victory. Vasturia had a career high with 24 points. This isn't his first late game come back either. During the game against Pitt in overtime, it was Steve Vasturia with the game winning 3 pointer. In the ACC, the Irish place second with a 3-0 conference record under Florida State who also have a 3-0 conference record and an overall 15-1 record.

Next week the Irish play Miami on January 12th at 7:00pm, alongside matches against Virginia Tech on the 14th at 2pm and Florida State on the 18th starting at 7pm. Florida State currently holds the first place spot in the ACC. This season is going to be great I can feel it. Go Irish!

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
