Meet Andrew and Ingrid!


Andrew is a 4th year Literature/Writing major at Eleanor Roosevelt College. His girlfriend Ingrid (a graduate of Whittier with an Art History degree) joins him on campus.

Andrew and Ingrid have known each other since summer camp—when they were 13! They dated in high school for a couple of years, and then parted ways. Quite some time afterward, Ingrid called him up. They’ve been together ever since. Their relationship has really gone the distance: in addition to attending different colleges in different cities, Ingrid even spent a year in Germany! Andrew and Ingrid consider themselves lucky: “We have had some big fights, and gotten over some stuff.”

Their relationship gives Andrew a stronger sense of direction and motivation. “She roots me,” he says.

Ingrid considers herself to be kind of shy; Andrew’s confidence helps her break out. “I feel safe around him. He’s my best friend—we talk about everything.” She continues, “I like him because he is intelligent, confident, and we have similar interests.” Naturally, Andrew agrees.
