Memory: When I graduated from college in May 2011, my school held its commencement exercises at the nearby Georgia Dome in downtown Atlanta. (Due to a general lack of empty space for building new sports arenas, my alma mater also uses the Dome for its football team's home games.) So after quite a long time of waiting in the stands for everyone to get there, we were herded down the hallways you usually never see as a casual spectator. I'm pretty sure we went by a Falcons locker room at one point when walking. When we finally came out of the tunnel, just like any sporting team, it was to the stands now full of cheering parents, friends, etc. We all just felt like rockstars or champions or anything. Then I was finally able to find my entourage in the crowd and that just made the experience even BETTER! It was just such a great day.
