Connect How did your love story begin?

It began in our sophomore year of highschool. We were online freshman year due to Covid and he transferred to my school. We were friends at first. We wore face masks at school so we didn’t know what each other looked like I first. We got close and he was funny and sweet so I developed a crush! He was so cute! We started getting flirty and we started texting without telling our friends. We chatted for a whole summer and I asked him to be my boyfriend our junior year. It’s been great since then.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

Honestly all of them. We had so much fun during the summers before we were adults. We took the city bus everywhere. We would go to the beach, to our favorite restaurant chilis, the movies and it was all super spontaneous and fun. But all of the early moments are my favorite we were so shy and we’ve grown to get comfortable fast and it’s funny to look back at how awkward and funny we were.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would finish paying for college. Right now we both are full time college students and we work full time jobs. It’s super hard to manage tuition, rent, bills, and debt while being so young and not making much money. It would change our life and help us get back on track so we can be successful build our credit, and save up money for our future after we graduate college.
