It was right up there with Grad Nite and seeing Fall Out Boy and going to Rome for the first time and stepping into Times Square for the first time and when we made finals at Senior Zones. It was being beyond ecstatic. It was almost-crying and actual crying and yelling and screaming and jumping up and down. It was hugging your friends, it was hugging complete strangers. It was running outside, not knowing where we were going, following the noise. It was sprinting from Lewis all the way to Stonehenge, joining the masses of people pouring out of the dorms, who were running and screaming and smiling and laughing as much as we were.
We arrived at Stonehenge and it was madness, it was mayhem, it was the best craziness anyone could ask for. We were out of breath and slightly dizzy and we still couldn't stop yelling, couldn't stop screaming, couldn't stop jumping and dancing and spinning because we won, we won, we couldn't believe it, but we did and it was awesome.
Someone started chanting WE ARE! ND! and we joined in and halfway through it I stopped and looked around, taking it all in. There was something in the air last night that was, I don't know, almost tangible. I was part of something bigger and we were all in it together, and I could feel it and . . . I can't quite describe it but it was something that was truly amazing.
I love being here.
love thee notre dame,
