“I’ll be eating pizza and watching a movie with my best friends.” – Katie Martinides ‘18
“Shit, next week is Valentine’s Day? …I like to be spontaneous.” – Austin Wiles ’17
“He’s been searching for places that suit my food allergies and he even looked up concert tickets for my favorite band, but said they sold out before he could get them. The surprise element is fun.” – Kara Rhodes ‘19
“I’m dating my snowboard, so I’m going to Blue Mountain to spend the day there. Five o’clock dinner with my snowboard.” – Colin Gallagher ’17
“The only Valentine I wrote was for the local senior citizens, so I think that explains my love life pretty accurately right now.” – Brynn Fuller-Becker ’19
