NVKOLE TYSON StajfWriter Many people spend their lives looking for them, wondering where they might be. But how many are actually fortunate enough to find their soul mates? Do they even exist? According to many Western Maryland College students, there is a good chance of meeting the person you want to spend the rest of your life while in college, but it is not definite. ''There is no predetermined time, it just happens," commented Aleya Horn, ajunior sociology major. "Whether in high school, college, or later in life." Sophomore sociology major Maribel Calderon said: "It is just a matter of being fortunate enough to actually find them in one's life span." But how long does one have to wait to discover one's soul mate? "Only a few months after knowing [her] Marcus Helton and Aleya Hom (left).
