Attention all lovers,

And by “lovers” I mean anyone who has ever been in love, feels passionately about love, or even knows how to spell the word love. The New York Times Modern Love College Essay Contest is on! This contest asks college students around the globe to write an essay depicting their interpretation of love. This contest, which has only happened two times in the past seven years, will offer $1,000 to the winning essay as well as a feature of the essay in the NYT! The contest page also showcases some of the recent essay winners and runner ups. Fresh off your Datamatch date, this is the perfect contest to enter. Who knows, you could be one free Zinneken’s waffle away from $1,000 big ones.
