<p>Id like to use my thousandth post to say how excited i am to be going to school at ND in less than two weeks. The nature of the school, the spirituality, the family atmosphere, the love of learning, the love of sports, all of these plus more make me feel that this will certainly be the best and most rewarding four years of my life. Anyways, now that I am a senior member i should be able to provide you with more helpful answers, but we'll see if that is the case lol. Thanks for reading!</p>
<p>Dang, I already congratulated you on your 1,000th post on another thread. As another senior member (I just got here too) I am happy to welcome you to the Notre Dame family. It is an amazing place and I think you will have an amazing four years. My grotto light is flickering, about to burn out as I enter my senior year, and I genuinely enter saddened that I am here. Only one year left. I could graduate early, but I can't because I can't stand to leave this place. I love being a Domer and I am thankful that I am always going to be part of the family.</p>
<p>I welcome you to the Notre Dame family and I hope you stay around on the boards. There is a lot of work to do, no doubt, and I always like having other opinions (even if I disagree with them sometime). Get in touch when you get on campus!</p>
<p>Aw, shoot, I already congratulated you too. I still have a few hundred more posts before I rise to your elite status, but I will use one of them to say that I'm also really excited about going down to Notre Dame and congratulate you (again) on your recent promotion to senior member!</p>
