Built in best friends, the secret to four-year roommate success

If you ask Malia Brandt her first impression of her roommate, Jove Gorsline, her response is simple: “We vibed.” Ray Feinleib thought Richard Diamond was jacked. For Anita Raj and Sara Francis, a mutual love of fantasy novels sealed the deal. Carlos Pulido thought, “Wait, I could be friends with this guy,” about his roommate Max Foley. All of these graduating seniors have been college roommates from orientation week to commencement.

Hearts on the Hill: Lovely goodbyes

Welcome back, for the final time, to “Hearts on the Hill.” Here we are — our last lap around the sun. I warned you a couple of weeks ago that this last edition would come with a certain sentimentality that might be off-putting to my underclassmen readers.

Hearts on the Hill: Friends to lovers

I hope you have spent the last couple of weeks soaking up plenty of sun and sleep to get you through the home stretch of the semester. Maybe you watched your favorite rom-com on the plane, took in your newest romance beach read or simply spent your break lying at home yearning. Regardless, we are back in full swing with only a little over a month left in the semester.

Hearts on the Hill: Reconciling with (s)ex

We are at a turning point in the academic year. Today we are experiencing weather above 60 degrees for the first time since fall, and spring is officially 10 days away. If you’re starting to feel a looming sense of the passage of time, you are not alone. Perhaps I am projecting my own reality. As someone 10 weeks away from graduation, I’m choosing to distract myself from that fact by immersing myself in the complex and fascinating details of your love lives.
