We met while studying abroad in Italy in 2010. Though we both went to Purdue, it took our shared curiosities and desires for unique adventures (and pasta) to bring us together. Over 6 weeks a friendship flourished during Corporate Finance in the mountains outside of Venice. We sustained our friendship throughout college with prepping for job interviews together, the occasional house party, and ride's home from class on Ravi's motorcycle (with Anna hiding her fear because she was too nervous to admit it was her first time on one). After graduation, we both focused heavily on our respective careers and personal growth that took us nearly 2000 miles from each other. We stayed in touch digitally through LinkedIn and social media for years; sending likes and "congratulations" from afar as each got promotions, changed jobs, and moved to different areas of the country. A frustrating Purdue game in early 2019 led Anna to post and catch Ravi's eye. Only this time when he slid into her DMs - we never stopped talking… A cross-country friendship took on a whole new form with all day texting and nightly phone calls, leaving us questioning if there was something more. We have traveled the world together, pursued new hobbies and interests, and supported each other through the highs and lows of life. Our long distance friendship turned love story is ready for it's next chapter.
