If NYU or Hunter had a fight song, I never knew them. But they're not exactly big sports schools.
It's snowing. I really wish it wasn't.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
When did alma mater mean school song? Didn't it mean something else yesterday? I'm so CONFUSED!!!!
I think I have a drawing problem. I'm having a really hard problem stopping.

I have no idea of my college had an alma mater. But my high school one? I know and can still sing toay:
"O, those good happy school days,
Spent in learning our aim;
Where true pals greet each other,
Guided by dear Notre Dame.
Hours that speed swiftly onward,
Striving for future and fame.
All for honor and glory
Of our dear loved Notre Dame.
Here's to our dear Alma Mater belov'd.
Let us give praise to her name above.
May she continue fore'er the same,
Notre Dame, Notre Dame.
"

I always thought alma mater meant the school you graduated from.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
I do remember all of my college one, but Calli and smonster have posted most of it here, so I won't fill in the blanks.
I also remember my high school one, which is mostly in English, but has a Latin title: "Ad Jesum Per Mariam," which prompted a memorable lj post between smonster and me back in our Supernatural days entitled, Ad Gaudiam Per PADDYWHACK.

Only thing I ever knew was my hs fight song. Which might not have been official, but it began "Roll on Trojans..." so....yeah.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I have no idea of my college had an alma mater. But my high school one? I know and can still sing toay:
This is me. In fact, my best friend from hs, my mom, and all my aunts and I (and my grandmother when she was alive) will, when together, break into it spontaneously and sing it all the way through. It was written by Sister Aloysius Peach!
Ursuline to you are turning
loyal hearts with love alight
while beside the lamp of learning
shines our colors--red and white
It goes on for a while after that and into ranges that, really, only dogs can hear.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I always thought alma mater meant the school you graduated from.
It means that, too.
