Sentimental

Today is a game day, so there is a lot of ND stuff going on all weekend. There are huge tail gating parties, even down town South Bend gets into the action with outdoor concerts and festivals. This song (see video below) is played often. However, while many fans picture the football field as this song plays--I picture graduation. Not just because it will be over (part of me is sad that it will be), but I envision the day that the graduation takes place. The graduates marching forward into the world, taking it on--head on. They've been given an excellent education, and should feel empowered to take on any troubles that come. With all the talk of the economy falling, I'm amazed that I still feel at peace. Maybe I don't understand the magnitude of this "economic failure" or maybe I just feel really prepared. I feel blessed to have been prompted to come to a school where they take care of their own, where even the families of the students matter. Plus, what other school has such an awesome song?
