Finding yourself #foreveralone? Stop posting angsty poems on Tumblr and instead head over to the SGA’s fourth annual Guy Auction Feb. 13. Maybe you can buy love – or at least contribute to Pennies for Patients and have a fun date in the process.

Scoring this date may be a stretch, but these hilarious seniors promise it’ll be hot.

Charles Augustine: Dinner and recording your own song
