All the finalists for the Modern Love College Essay Contest are officially up (and listed in order below). I find it a fascinating tour. These essays yearn for that connection between people that is deep and filled with passion – desires as old as the first love story. But the old definitions of relationships don’t take into account the individuals, the curious ways we love, the truths of who we are and what we need.
I hope you enjoy these explorations as much as I have. The first two I have posted before, but included them again for your reading pleasure.
As always, feel free to post your comments below. What’s your story of modern love?

Right before Valentine’s Day, The New York Times asked college students to comment on their views about love. Last week, the winning essay, “Want to Be My Boyfriend? Please Define”, was published in the Modern Love column. Fascinating. Disturbing. And not surprising that the old myths of romance and roses seem to have changed. Is this essay a picture of love in the 21st century? Post your comments below. Feel free to email me as well.
Each Sunday from Mother’s Day to Father’s Day, the runners up will be published. I’ll be curious to see if any roses made the cut.
You may have to register with the Times to read the article. Don’t worry: Free and painless.
