UCSC Missed Connections September 13th, 2026

Back in spring quarter, on mondays and fridays, I’d often see this really pretty girl in the S&E library. I was always too scared to talk to her, because, you know, I’m studying, she’s studying, locked in. Eventually I brought up the courage to want to talk to her and I told myself I will, but she disappeared for the next 2 weeks. Every time I went to study there, I’d give myself hope that she’d appear once again but nope. Eventually, I gave up hope in seeing her again, and around the time I did, there she appeared again. Only once or twice, but I was again too conflicted to know if I should approach or not. Sometimes I think about it from time to time and feel ashamed for not doing anything earlier. I still don't know her name or anything about her, just that she at one point had dyed dark-reddish hair and glasses sometimes I think? I don’t know if I’ll ever see her again.
