The Spark
The University of Minnesota has three different campuses. One where all your classes are, one a few steps to the left where you’ll go get lunch, and one in a different city that is only accessible via bus fare, a prayer to good weather, and a snack to tide you over the 30+ minute commute. Luckily, you get to know all the other St. Paul commuters and find that you’re both stuck on this bus so you might as well get to know each other. Late Friday night Spanish classes for us led to late Bailey Hall bus rides, which led to a blossoming friendship. It wasn't until many months later that we decided that maybe it wasn't just friends in the stars for the two of us...

You all helped write. We travelled to your homes, we laughed at dinners with you, we cheered at your weddings. We held on tight to each other, and we flew through life.

And kept falling in love…
