Forever L-S-U!!!

Where stately oaks and broad magnolias shade inspiring halls

There stands our dear Old Alma Mater who to us recalls

Fond memories that waken in our hearts a tender glow

And make us happy for the love that we have learned to know.

All hail to thee our Alma Mater, molder of mankind

May greater glory, love unending be forever thine.

Our worth in life will be thy worth we pray to keep it true

And may thy spirit live in us, forever L-S-U.

Tomorrow I will be driving home to Atlanta. I am very excited to have graduated college and to be moving back home, but I am sad to leave LSU and everthing I love about it. Here are just a few of the things I will miss...
