For two and a half years, I\u2019ve given my expert advice to the romantic souls of Grove City College\u2019s campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I stumbled into this role halfway through my sophomore year by chance, not knowing what to expect. Looking back, my first few articles were a little stiff and cautious (please don\u2019t look back for them). As time passed, you can more clearly hear my voice in recent editions of the newspaper. Over 40+ articles have been written by me and archived by The Collegian for generations to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you to everyone who has read my column over the last few years. I loved seeing random people reading The Collegian in SAC or in HAL and noticing the page open to Dr. Love\u2019s impeccable advice. There were even times I got to overhear what people truly thought of my advice, which was awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019d like to extend another huge thank you to the people who sent submissions in. I hope I answered all of your questions and solved your particular dilemma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019ve figured out who I am by the end of this article and my time at the college, congratulations! You\u2019re a regular detective. I dropped a few hints along the way, but perhaps not enough for you all to uncover my true identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without further ado, here goes nothing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hi! I\u2019m Mara Brak, a senior graduating with a B.S. in Design &amp; Innovation and a PhD in love. I\u2019ve enjoyed being Dr. Love so much! I\u2019m going to miss solving love\u2019s problems after graduation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the semester wrapping up, it\u2019s finally time to reveal who the real Dr. Love is.
