My Notre Dame experience, not unlike life itself, can be summed up by a series of individual moments.
The first moment comes on a Saturday afternoon in December. Around noon. I know the time because I had already been waiting for hours.

Going into college four years ago, people tried to prepare me with a series of clichés. “These will be the best four years of life. The people you meet will change your life. Football Saturday is like nothing you’ve ever seen before. You will remember that late-night walk you took with your best friend more than that test you didn’t study for enough. You will grow up and find yourself. These four years will fly by.”

“To everything, turn, turn, turn, There is a season, turn, turn, turn, And a time for every purpose, under Heaven.”
The Byrds’ song, inspired by Ecclesiastes, captures the many dimensions and emotions of our ever-changing lives.

Writing the final words of my career as a student writer should probably be a bit harder than this. Reflecting on four years of friendships, accomplishments, failures and laughs should take at least a full day of sitting in my room, before composing an eloquent farewell worthy of the independent newspaper serving Notre Dame and Saint Mary’s.
Saint Mary's Editor Emeritus
Well, folks, there’s nothing like a final column to remind you that graduation is quickly approaching.
This is my last time to write as a student of Saint Mary’s.
So, I want to dedicate this final column to the Belles of Saint Mary’s Class of 2012.

Unless something rather miraculous happens between now and Sunday morning when I walk across the portable stage in Notre Dame Stadium, chances are I will not have a full-time job waiting for me after I graduate.
