“Our house cook takes inventory of everyone’s favorite meals. I told her a week ago that I really wanted baked potatoes, and so when I came back for lunch today, she had made baked potatoes!”

“My friend and I made each other little origami fortune tellers, and we didn’t even realize we were doing the same thing. It was just kind of cute!”

“We had a tabling with La Fuerza Latina today so it was really nice to see a lot of people come up to our booth and our stand and just get a little sweet treat that we were giving out. I think giving our things was a way of giving more love. There were just a lot of organizations that were giving our flowers and I think that made me feel just a little more special as well.”

“A lot of my friends have texted, either in group chats or to me, or I’ve said something to them, so it was just nice to hear from them. I felt very loved from that. I think Hoover is having a bunch of desserts - I feel very loved.”

“In a strong community at DePauw, surrounded by friends and family… Coming from an area not really around here, I never would’ve thought I would fit into a community so nice like DePauw.”

“I feel like love is all around campus, not just from our relationships, but from everyone. Everybody greets each other like, “Happy Valentine’s!”, or when class ends with “Happy Valentine’s Day, guys,” I feel so loved.

“I feel grateful because we are all expressing our affection toward each other, like friendships, lovers, family. And I guess I ate a lot of sweets too so that’s good.”
