John Touhey writes “There are going to be times when you are snubbed, experience rejection, or feel used. This happens to all of us. Being in that situation feels terrible – and it is perfectly reasonable to acknowledge your negative feelings. Try not to let the experience define you, however, or let it ruin your college experience. Remember there is something even more intense than the pain you feel in the moment — and that is the desire that you have to be in relationship with others. The biggest mistake you can make is to get hurt my someone and then decide you don’t really need friends and can go it alone. That is a lie. As beings created in the image and likeness of God, we need human relationships as much as we need food, water, and oxygen. If you were feeling desperately hungry, you wouldn’t stop looking and asking for something to eat until you found it. The same thing applies when looking for friendship. Be persistent and never give up!” Source: Feeling lonely at college? Here are 6 tips that may help

The statue of Mary atop the Golden Dome of Notre Dame is a beautiful and iconic landmark. It is a 19-foot-tall, 4,000-pound statue of the Virgin Mary, cast in bronze and gilded in gold. The statue was designed by Chicago artist Giovanni Meli and was donated to the university by the sisters, students, and alumnae of Saint Mary’s College, Notre Dame’s sister school.
The statue is depicted in the pose of the Immaculate Conception, with her hands folded in prayer and her head slightly bowed. She wears a long, flowing gown and a crown of stars. The statue is set against a backdrop of blue sky and clouds, and it is illuminated by spotlights at night.
The statue has been a source of inspiration and comfort to generations of Notre Dame students, faculty, and alumni. It is a symbol of the university’s Catholic faith and its commitment to academic excellence. The statue is also a popular tourist destination, and it is often seen as a symbol of the city of South Bend itself.
Here is my review of the statue:
Design: The statue is beautifully designed and captures the essence of the Virgin Mary. The pose is graceful and serene, and the expression on her face is one of compassion and love.
Materials: The statue is made of bronze and gold, which gives it a rich and luxurious appearance. The gold leafing also helps to protect the statue from the elements.
Setting: The statue is set against a backdrop of blue sky and clouds, which creates a sense of peace and tranquility. The spotlights that illuminate the statue at night also add to its beauty.
Overall: The statue of Mary atop the Golden Dome of Notre Dame is a beautiful and iconic landmark. It is a source of inspiration and comfort to many, and it is a reminder of the university’s Catholic faith and its commitment to academic excellence.
Long distance relationships (LDRs) can work for some people, even for long periods of time and at great distances. Certain combinations of circumstances and personalities can nurture a successful LDR. Yet, for others, an LDR might as well be DOA. While in some cases, no matter how strong the feelings between the two people may be, the distance proves too difficult for the relationship last.
Bright, shiny objects!
