Local Woman Swears Her Zoom Crush “Radiates 6’1” Energy”

Online schooling comes with many complications: managing classes and staying motivated, not to mention being disconnected from classmates. This, however, has not stopped Medill sophomore Susie Simpson from developing a crush on a boy in her Zoom discussion section. The only problem? She has no idea how tall he is.

“I know you can’t tell from Zoom and whatever, but I swear he’s like 6 foot 1. Like, I just get a vibe,” Simpson reflected, doing the Debby Ryan. “I don’t know what you would call this feeling. I guess it might be love.”

Simpson said she first developed feelings for this boy when he piggybacked off her point in a discussion. “I don’t catch feelings for short guys, okay?” she emphasized. “Like, short kings, blah blah, I’m not into it. This guy is tall. I swear. And he’s a film major. That’s a tall major.”

The decisive Simpson is 5 foot 3, but she reportedly only dates guys who are at least 6 foot. “I want a love like Jacob Elordi and Joey King in The Kissing Booth. You know, like, how he’s so tall and she’s so short that it looks like he’s going to develop chronic back issues from having to stoop down to kiss her? That’s what I want.”

The boy in question, SoC sophomore Alex Marooney, is reportedly 6 foot 5. When told about a secret admirer in one of his classes, Marooney responded, “Ew. I don’t date short girls.”
