Snippets from a Harvard Relationship

Dating in college should be pretty magical, supposedly. Many love stories start with it. Away from home for the first time, in the spring of youth...

It gets a bit hectic at Harvard. After nearly four months in a relationship here, I've come to the realization that these instances are probably not the norm for most dating 18-year olds. Anyway, enjoy.

You share your google calendars.
You stalk each other's google calendars
"Hey, you have thirty free minutes? Wanna hang out?

Napping together between classes is an acceptable couple-bonding activity

A free weekend is a rarity
Actually no, it doesn't exist. But you can always study together, or pick each other up from meetings.

"I'll stay over, but only if I can set an alarm for 6:30 am so I can get up and finish my readings."

If you're taking a course together, lectures are interspersed with covert hand-holding. Then intense scribbling because holy crap organic chem has a lot of notes and why did I waste half a second to touch his hand oh wait I did it again damn it more scribbles.

"Can't talk, in office hours."
"Can't talk, in lab."
"Can't talk, at practice."
"Yo talk to me, section is so boring."

"Let's take a trip to DC. I want to watch my middle school Science Bowl team compete."
