The Varsity wants your heart-warming (or breaking!) anecdotes

This article was published on Feb 3, 2010

Did you meet your first love at Con Hall? Get dumped at the JCR? We want to know

For our special Valentine's issue, we're collecting poignant emotional moments from around campus. Did you meet your first love at Con Hall? Spend a night in Robarts with a former flame? Get dumped at the JCR? Spend weeks working up the courage to talk to a crush at the AC, only to have them disappear from your life forever before you did?

We want to know. In 100 words or less, tell us your tale and the geographical location it went down. We'll chart them all on a map of campus, and figure out U of T's most affecting corners.

This is open to everyone, not just Varsity staff. Send your submissions to VarsityValentines@gmail.com by Monday, February 9th. Sign it however you'd like; we'll respect your anonymity if desired. But feel free to post your story in the comments if you're feeling bold!
