Belles Get the Best of Both Worlds

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Saint Mary's chapter.

My first few weeks at Saint Mary’s have had me feeling like a ROCKSTAR. More specifically, a rockstar who can both “chill it out, take it slow” and “rock out the show.” 

We may not be in Malibu like Hannah Montana, but the chances of living in a place as empowering and beautiful as Saint Mary’s College are ONE IN A MILLION. They say that NOBODY’S PERFECT, but the Belles I’ve met so far are some of the most amazing women I’ve ever encountered. Whether we MAKE SOME NOISE at the Notre Dame football games, or have G.N.O.’s on the third floor of McCandless Hall, THIS IS THE LIFE. Though I get to CLIMB through this school for 4 more years, I know that WHEREVER I GO after graduation,  I’ll ALWAYS FIND MY WAY BACK HOME: right down The Avenue. Here at Saint Mary’s, we truly get the BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.

Oh yeah, come on

You get the Blinkie out front- ooo wahoo 

Cutest clothes in our blue and white colors

When you’re a Belle yeah it can be kinda fun

And Madeleva said it’s yourself you’ll discover

Who would have thought that a girl like me, would have the perfect college life?…..

 

Belles get the best of both worlds

Study at S-M-C, then you cheer on N-D.

Belles get the best of both worlds

The French cross and the shamrocks and you know you’ve got the Best of Both Worlds 

The best of both worlds -yeah

 

You go to Domerfest too

(Is that Touchdown Jesus?)

See your face at the games on the jumbo screen

Going to two schools is uh.. really cool! Yeah

And you just want everybody to know

That you get to be a small-school girl

But big time when you’re at Notre Dame……

 

Belles get the best of both worlds

Study at S-M-C then you cheer on N-D

Belles get the best of both worlds

The French cross and the shamrocks and you know you’ve got the Best of Both-

 

 

Belles get the best of both worlds

 

Small class and sisterhood…..

You pray at the grotto to Our Lady…..

The best part is that.. you are a Belle and that’s the best thing to be

 

Belles! Belles! Belles get the best of both

Belles! Belles! Belles get the best of both

Belles! Belles! Belles get the best of both

 

Who would have thought that a girl like me would have the perfect college life?….

Woo 

 

Belles get the best of both worlds

Study at S-M-C, then you cheer on N-D.

Belles get the best of both worlds

The French cross and the shamrocks and you know you’ve got the Best-

 

Belles get the best of both worlds

With a ride on the Sweep-you can go across the street!

 

Belles get the best of both worlds

The shamrocks and the French cross.. oh yeah

No Belle is at a loss ‘cause you know Belles got the best of both worlds (awkward laugh here) 

 

Just an indecisive, first-year belle trying to discover the universe and her place in it.
