This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Cal Poly chapter.
Regardless of how we somehow end up on an app staring at attractive people and their cute dogs while testing the limits of our thumb strength, we all experience similar thoughts when using Tinder at Cal Poly.
1. Seeing pictures of people in pickup trucks and cowboy boots
Yup, sounds like Cow Poly. Whoops, I mean Cal Poly!
2. So many outdoorsy hiking pictures!
Also, why is everyone holding a dead fish?
3. That awkward moment when you recognize someone you matched with on Tinder and go through various means to avoid them
Don’t mind me as I avoid eye contact and pretend to be deeply engaged in this other conversation I’m having…
4. The excitement of finding your friends on Tinder
A familiar face! How comforting! *Immediate superlike*
5. Feeling proud of these same friends for taking control over their love lives
Go get ‘em, tiger!
6. Why is everyone so attractive?!
Yet another reminder — probably the 23457865th today — that this campus is incredibly good-looking.
7. The disappointment at receiving the “there’s no one new around you” message
Unfortunately, being on Tinder at a small town like San Luis Obispo means it’s easy to run out of potential matches.
8. But in all honesty, it’s nice to know that you’re not the only one with an utterly nonexistent love life.
Yay for being single!
