Today was college spirit wear day at work, so I borrowed a JMU shirt from a friend, since I lost track of my JMU hoodie a few decades back.
I was surprised at the school pride that washed over me when I pulled the shirt on and saw the bold, gold letters standing out against the purple background. I was immediately flooded with images of the college green, my freshman dorm, the food hall, and the bluestone buildings.
It may be time to get a new hoodie. It’s only been 27 years since I graduated.
