Last month, Her Campus partnered up with Figment to launch a short story contest inspired by our very own Real Live College Guy columnists. The prompt was to incorporate a piece of advice taken from a RLCG column into a Valentine’s Day-themed story of 1,500 words or fewer. The entries came pouring in – clearly, the prompt struck a chord! – and 0ver the past week, Figment readers voted on their top ten favorites.
