With the cue of Valentine’s Day comes the return of the Matchmaker forms! Every year, Biotech students roundup and complete an online form, which asks questions about preferred height, hair color, and personality of a potential partner. During the week of Valentine’s day, the Senior class council hands out physical forms which rank possible love contenders based on percentages of matching interests. This is not just romantic, but also platonic! Students get a customized form to make new friends, or see their compatibility with fellow students! Junior Ella Stastney said it is a fun way to make connections, saying “It’s a unique way to see similarities in interests!” Another student, Junior Hannah Perlman, is appreciative of the forms, saying “The forms bring us closer together and allow us to see connections with others that we maybe don’t interact with.” To sum up, the Matchmaker forms are a quirky and entertaining way to see who you connect with, and who you can become friends (or more) with! ❧
