February 14th is a day when it is traditional to send a card or gifts to a person or multiple parties with whom one shares a loving bond or connection. In the old-school tradition, this gesture was purposely meant to be anonymous, or done as a surprise for a new connection or love interest, hence the term “secret admirer.” Fans and alumni of the University of Notre Dame are perhaps the furthest things from the idea of “secret” admirers though, as some wear their pride and passion for the university on their sleeves.
We’ve all traded fun or silly Valentine’s Day cards with our elementary school classmates at some point in our lives.
