Here are the silliest things Exeter Uni students have done for a crush

Valentine’s Day is quickly creeping around the corner. Many cute coupes have been eyeing up all the best date spots for the big day, have been writing their wedding vows in their cards and have got as many roses, teddies and chocolates as possible. Whereas for the other singletons, they will be planning their Galentine’s or hoping for some miracle that they’ll meet the love of their life on campus.

Of course, we’ve all had a silly little crush every now and then (some more than others). When we have a crush, we always think irrationally and will do the absolute MOST for a crush. Whether that’s purposefully “bump” into them at TP or get track of their Snapchat score, we’ve all lost our heads before for a crush. So, in light of it being Valentine’s, we asked Exeter students what the silliest thing is they have done for a crush. Some of these are…concerning.

‘I posted on the uni Snapchat story to get his attention’

Who hasn’t posted something, hoping their crush would slide up and fall in love with them? We’ve all posted a cheeky hot selfie on our stories in the hopes of impressing our crushes. It’s completely normal. However, this student said they posted on “the Exeter 2025 Uni’s Snapchat story”. Where everyone could see. Girl, stand up…

‘Brought my dog to uni with me’

I mean, hey, who doesn’t love their pets? Thing is, this student said they brought their dog to university so that they “had an excuse to walk past their crush’s house every day.” Honestly, I’m shocked. I hope the dog at least enjoyed the walks – did they avoid Cardiac Hill too?

“Gave him my TP Wednesday ticket because he didn’t have one”

Every Exeter Uni student should know that TP Wednesday tickets are precious. Some even run the risk of being scammed when asking for one on Overheard. So, this is basically a huge sacrifice. Did he at least say thank you, reimburse you, take you out or something? Heck, did you even manage to get another ticket?

‘Found his flight number’

This student said she found his flight number “using when he was active on Insta to see if he’d text me when he landed.” These are the type of people who need to be feared. Can’t lie to you or hide things from you, can we? Ever considered being a private investigator?

‘Pulled an all nighter crying over them in sixth form’

Guilty. Thankfully, this student followed up by saying they “got over them pretty soon after that,” as they should. Get that degree, sis. Don’t let the pain of rejection make you forget your worth xx

‘I changed up my whole style and music taste’

Ouch! Sometimes, we forget that the right person will love us just as we are. Don’t get me wrong, a little change here and there can be good, but it gets miserable when you do such a drastic change, only to “not even get the guy,” like this student confessed. What do you even do from there?

‘Drove him and his friends home at 4AM’

This one goes to extreme lengths. This student said she “drove him and his friends home at 4AM after a night out” and that it was a very “toxic situationship”. Honestly, I hope they at least reimbursed you for this too. And I hope you’re out of that mess by now. Very, very whipped over a crush.

‘Tried to get into golf’

I think the first red flag here was that they played golf. Trying to get into that sport for a person demands some sort of determination that I don’t have.

‘Went to his sport social’

Hey, sports socials can be fun, especially when they go to TP Wednesday. However, this student admitted that she “didn’t even do a sport”, yet she found herself “running and chugging pints with men.” Think we found one of God’s strongest soldiers over here.
