Videography by Maylon Anderson, Isaac Johnson, Sophia Meyers and Maya Phillips. Produced by Maya Phillips.

Bethel students reminisce on their first dates, recalling bonding with a date’s family while bowling and hiding a lactose intolerance on an ice cream date. One student went on a blind date, another had a nice day playing tennis but didn’t secure a second date. Some found a lasting relationship with those first dates.

Other students haven’t had a first date, but they give ideas of drive-in movies, walks or museums for that first romantic interlude.

“I’ve never had a first date, but…,” junior art and English major Bella Haveman said. “We would hang out in a park or maybe go to a museum.”

[To better learn their camera kits and Adobe Premiere, Digital Storytelling students produce #TFTB — Thoughts from the Bubble — each spring at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota.
