Looking for love? Here are the places to fall

BY OLIVIA TOMLINSON @OliviaMersade

Everyone wants to find love, especially as Valentine’s Day approaches. It can be hard to find someone, and even harder on a campus as big as LSU’s.

If you’re struggling to meet someone, here are the best places to be on campus in order to make sure you have a Valentine’s date.

1. Student section at a home football game

Everyone is on their toes. There’s 10 seconds left in the game. LSU scores and the student section storms the field. You’re so excited that you grab the person next to you and start screaming in each other’s faces. This could be you and your soulmate.

The energy at an LSU home game is unmatched. It’s one of the best places to be on campus and definitely one of the best places to fall in love. In between chanting and cheering, you could lock eyes with your future partner.

There is nothing like mak- ing new friends, or maybe more than friends, around you in the student section. If you just so happen to meet the love of your life at a game, just know the story will have a happy ending because everyone always has a good time at Tiger Stadium.

2. Line to get into Himes Hall

It’s been a busy semester and you scheduled your exam at the last minute. It happens to the best of us and we’ve all been there.

As you are stuck in a long line, trying to calculate what score you need in order to pass this class, you want to talk with the people in line with you. There are easy ways to start a conversation with the people around you in order to calm yourself down. You could ask for a pencil, a test-approved calculator or even the answers.

Conversations at Himes could be the best or worst. Just make sure not to make anyone uncomfortable, they are already nervous enough. As you make your way into the basement, wish the people around you good luck, they probably need it.

Don’t forget to get their number before you have to turn off your phone.

3.

The LSU Tiger Trails is a great way to get from point A to point B on campus. All kinds of different people going to different places will use this transportation service. The best kind of days to look for a partner on the Tiger Trails would be those cold, rainy days.

Getting into those tightly packed buses with shivering students may not seem ideal, but it could be a great way to meet people. You could start with a simple “excuse me” and work your way into a conversation.

The best conversation starter is to ask where they are going, so instead of scrolling on your phone until your next stop, make some eye contact. It is the most organic way to meet another student, and perhaps even a partner.

The next time you hop on the bus make sure to look

This spunky movie will have you feeling nostalgic and wishing you could live her life.

If you’re feeling down this Valentine’s Day or looking for something to watch with your partner, you’re sure to fall in love with one of these films.
