Track of the Day
Artist: Wilco
Song: "Either Way"

As we return to classes and campus activities, I think to myself with a small amount of hope: “Maybe the sun will shine today, maybe the clouds will blow away.”

Maybe, just maybe, we will open our doors to a new day at NIU, a day that, while we will all attend class with attitudes of sorrow, we will try to understand what happened on a day that we will never forget.

Either way, NIU will move on. We will go to our classes, we will cheer at our football games, but most importantly: We will forgive, we will mourn and we will try to understand.

Maybe eventually we won’t feel so afraid, maybe eventually we will try to understand. Maybe we will see that everything has its plan. But for now, we’re gonna stay. We’re gonna stay on our campus and we’re gonna stay together, either way.

Either way, NIU will move on together, and we will try to understand.
