I am a Notre Dame sophomore trying to figure out what I'm going to do with my life. In the meantime, I play flag football, am a sports writer and Assistant Sports Editor for The Observer, and work in Notre Dame football recruiting (real football, not with flags). I am from Madison, New Jersey and attended high school at Villa Walsh Academy where I played basketball and tennis.

kelsey manning God, Religion, and Freud’s Last Session January 6, 2012 I still have no idea if Christianity, Islam, Judaism or any of the other multitudes of religions is correct.
