life:
In 1944, LIFE’s Alfred Eisenstaedt captured a private moment repeated in public millions of times over the course of the war: a guy, a girl, a goodbye — and no assurance that he’ll make it back. By war’s end, more than 400,000 American troops had been killed.

Dear Bookstore,
How many times have you dried my eyes? Who knew ambiance music, soft yellow display lights and shelves of books I’ve had no time to read could be so comforting?
I wave hello and goodbye to your resident greeter, forever dressed for the cold weather, forever smiling from ear to ear. I will never forget her senior citizen afro and the way she made me feel welcome in this place.
You make me sad to go home. If I could I would take you with me.
But, tell me, who could pack a building in a box?
-Jess
You find ways to cope during finals week…
…like the guy who took his teddy with him to the study room.

Guy 1: I don’t like cats—but I like kittens. It makes me want to have a tiger.
Guy 2: …Yeah, I want a tiger.
