Love Season

Most people who have lived in Lincoln would tell you that there are times when you will experience the temperatures of all four seasons in one day. For me, those types of days are so annoying. Nevertheless, I’m still here in Lincoln after four and a half years.  Being a California native, it has taken me awhile to adapt to the humid summers and frigid winters, but I still love Lincoln. 

The four season Lincoln, Nebraska days are a reflection of relationships.  There are moments where loving someone feels like a warm day relaxing at Holmes Lake and other times where it resembles walking from the cafeteria to the nursing building in the middle of January without a coat on.  Despite the hardships that come with relationships, it is possible to navigate through the difficulties and find joy and beauty in them.

There are several married couples amongst the faculty and staff here at Union and I think it’s the cutest thing. I have heard some of their incredible love stories and it was interesting to discover how the couples maneuvered through the different seasons of love. I wanted other students to be exposed to some uLove stories, so I pitched the idea to the Clocktower, and here we are! I’m so grateful that these couples were willing to share their love stories with us. No matter what season of love you are in, I encourage you to read their stories.
