Dating in college is hard enough. Add a global pandemic onto that? Near impossible.
To get a grasp on how Yalies are feeling romance-wise as cuffing season approaches in full swing, I asked 10 college students to describe their current love lives in one word. Here’s how it went:
- “Virtually-nonexistent”
- “Longing”
- “Relief”
- “Nonexistent”
- “Paranoid”
- “Steady”
- “Cuddleless”
- “Filtered”
- “Distance”
- “Nope”
For those of you in the “steady” category, we envy you. For those of you feeling anything else, we’re here for you. Even if you’re on the “nope” or “nonexistent” scale of the COVID romance spectrum, know that you are loved, appreciated, and a lovely human worthy of great things.
