University is a learning experience, and not just literally speaking. It’s a time to learn about yourself not just as an academic, but as an individual. For many people, part of this is exploring potential partners. For people like myself, and many of you, part of this is having a crush and admiring from afar. Throughout your years here you will undoubtedly crush on at least one, if not all, of these cuties. But don’t be ashamed, I’ve definitely crushed on all of them.
1. The Varsity Athlete
You have so much time for them, but they never have time for you. Between practice, class, lifts, games and more practice, they will never give you the time of day. Nevertheless, you still crush as hard as they train. On the bright side, you may have a shot in the off season… if you are lucky.
2. Your Party-Animal Floormate
They have already been written up like 5 times and you begin to question if they are here only to party, but something inside of you wants to learn about the deeper side of them. Plus, they are conveniently close if you are in need of a cuddle buddy during exam season.
3. Your Icebreaker
Some of the first people you meet at Laurier are your Icebreakers. The amount of school spirit and enthusiasm they have is inspiring… and attractive. Although they are totally off limits for your first year, you can’t help but crush on them.
4. The Business Student
Always dressed up in business attire, making Laurier look like a Wall Street runway. *swoon*
5. Your Professor
There is something so sexy about having a PhD. Even if the only time you talk to them is by email or when you answer a question in class (because you obviously did the reading to impress them), they are likely happily married with kids.
6. Your TA
Not a student, and yet, not a prof. Your TA is someone that you spend more intimate class time with. You wish they could help you with more than just your studies.
7. The Flirty Starbucks Barista
With how often you are in need of a caffeine fix, it is no surprise that this cutie remembers your order before you even have to say it.
8. The Intramural Referee
Although in most competitive sports the referee is the enemy, in intramurals the referee could be a friendly (and cute) face you recognize from class or studying in the concourse. All you have to do is show your sportsmanship and throw in some flirty and witty remarks, and you will have their attention. They are students too!
9. That Cutie in Your 8:30 am Lecture
You checked them out in the first week of classes and as the weeks go on, their attendance starts to slack. However, you show up to class (somewhat) bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, hoping your crush will walk through the door.
10. Wilf
Who doesn’t love Wilf? If you haven’t yet, you will likely take a photo with him during your undergrad.
