You know what really makes Notre Dame? Not the close friends. But the countless kind acquaintances. If you’re ever caught crying at school there will be ay least 10 girls that march right up to you and hug you without you asking whether or not you’re a close friend. And I believe its 100% genuine. Because at least for me, I have 100% respect for each and every one of my classmates. Even the ones that I don’t always get along with. Because that’s what Notre Dame is all about. Being there for people who may be different or the same and putting aside everything to help and try to make each other better people for it. I’m one of those cheesy bitches that yes, loves my school. It’s not perfect. It could definitely be improved like all schools. There are still rumors and sketchyness. And I’m the kind of person who generally hates school. And I do. But Notre Dame has made high school bearable and solid with the amazing girls I attend classes with. Just beyond brilliant women that I know will go far.
