Student couples make no sense. One moment it’s aesthetic cafe posts (that clearly took time to edit) of waffles and ice cream and perfectly drizzled caramel syrup, paired with selfies and pictures of each other as About You by The 1975 plays in the background. Then suddenly it’s “oh sorry, I can’t pay you back for the $10 lunch from two weeks ago, I have no money in my bank account”, or “I didn’t have time to finish my tutorial, why is there so much work”, or my personal favourite, “I know I’m forty-five minutes late but it’s because I was talking to my girlfriend.”
