The Issue, with love

With about a week until Valentine’s Day, why not donate an entire edition to the different loves in college life — from significant others to students’ relationship with sleep.

But what’s the point of Valentine’s Day?

No one really knows.

Caitlyn Frolo The Daily Collegian

College students love to sleep. After a long day of classes, club meetings and working out, Sam Consoli can’t wait to go to bed. Tossing and turning, Consoli (junior-integrative arts) scrolls through social media on her phone until she looks at the clock and realizes it’s 2 a.m. “My sleep patterns are more irregular and I go to sleep much later for no reason at all,” Con- soli, who gets six hours of sleep on average, said. Since coming to college, Con- soli said there are many things that impact her lack of sleep— including her huge amount of Collegian Creative classwork, responsibilities and a loud apartment building.
