This previous weekend, I launched into a street journey to Atlanta with all of my closest mates. On Saturday, January 18 at 6:00 A.M., we packed two vehicles filled with our suitcases and squished into the seats, able to be there for the following 10 and a half hours.
We made our first cease in Indianapolis at my buddy Emily’s home for breakfast and to spend time along with her canine after which we shortly bought again on the street. A Jersey Mike’s cease and two gasoline stations later, we made it to Roswell, the hometown of one among my greatest mates and our residence base for the weekend.
The subsequent two days had been full of pleasure. We spent Sunday in downtown Atlanta exploring and attending the Notre Dame pep rally on the Georgia World Congress Heart the place we danced and sang together with the band and joined in lots of “Let’s Go Irish” chants. We completed the evening with an exquisite dinner at one other buddy’s home. Monday was a whirlwind, as my mates and I awoke feeling game-day-ready. We bought prepared collectively, blasting “Delivery as much as Boston” in addition to another, extra random tunes.
We spent the day wandering by means of the numerous pop-up occasions Atlanta needed to provide, seeing another mates alongside the best way. Even with no precise ticket into the sport, I had the time of my life at a sports activities bar with my mates, staying heat and cheering with fellow Irish followers! (We tried landing pushups, however it didn’t finish nicely, sadly.)
A loss was not the end result we had hoped for, however I don’t remorse driving 1300 miles to get to this sport and again. If this weblog offers you something, let it’s a lesson about profiting from the alternatives you might be given throughout your 4 years in faculty. Worrying about class and homework has a time and a spot, belief me. Typically, you simply have to say sure to a possibility you by no means would have had if the celebrities hadn’t aligned (out there vehicles and a buddy’s home in Georgia). These are the sorts of moments that form your recollections, and I’m past grateful that I bought to take time with my mates to embrace the once-in-a-lifetime form of power I witnessed in Atlanta final weekend! With some luck, perhaps we’ll be again subsequent yr. If that’s the case, I’ll see you all there!
