In the spring of 2012, Allie’s best friend met Joe and decided he and Allie would be perfect for each other. A “secret” matchmaking effort, including everyone but Allie, ensued. It started with friendly pre-games and beer pong in Joe’s fraternity basement. During one of those games, a false fire alarm went off and of course all the underaged college kids scattered like cockroaches during the police inspection of the building. Joe, Allie and all their friends ran into Joe’s room to hide out. Allie was impressed by Joe’s "hosting" skills (which consisted of possession of Natty Light and the ability to conceal his dirty clothes in the closet). They started chatting. The conversation became spirited, and before they knew it, the business major and the environmental major were debating the legitimacy of climate change (this was all the way back in 2012, people!). Little did Joe know, 6 years later they would move in together and he would find himself happily collecting food scraps for compost. They haven’t stopped talking since.
