@holygraildancer: I have straight up told my attorneys that if I get into Notre Dame or Georgetown, I’m clocking out early to go to mass and to go drinking, in loosely that order
12:27
Did that for my Fordham A and lit a candle for all my stubborn female relatives who’d kill for the opportunities I have

we stopped going in middle school because my mom said "the lord knows i need to sleep on sundays"
12:29
Real talk, I went the day I was “held” at Fordham too and it brought me peace. Praying that I end up getting my JD at the place that’ll allow me to make the most difference.

@Fatbear747: Did you make it pretty clear in your Why ND or LOCI statements that religion is important to you?
12:56
@MrWorldwide: yep. Like not in a “my way or the highway” way, but in a “Catholicism and my passion for social justice rlly do be interconnected” way
13:32
@Fatbear747: Ok cool, I talked a lot about it in my Why ND and I think it made a big difference to them
14:39
Like I’m visiting my folks later this month and I’d absolutely love to just casually…give my Catholic mom a “Notre Dame mom” sticker
