Attempting to find my Quizlet Rival/ Soulmate
I have no way to contact the person with whom I am locked in a battle over Quizlet match superiority. But I just know we have an enemies to lovers storyline coming if I could only find them. Or at least rivals to best friends.  Simply put, I want to match with my Match opponent.
Back to the beginning of the story:
On November 30th I got an email from Quizlet reporting that Broadwayangel8 had bumped me down on Match for the study set “AP Literature Perrine’s Terms.” Now, I took AP Lit as a sophomore in high school and now I’m a sophomore; it’s been four years. I don’t know the person who made the set or how I got to it either. The person who made the set didn’t even use Match on it as myself and Broadwayangel8 were the only two people who had ever played Match on that set, four years apart. All of Broadwayangel8′s public study sets are from 7 years ago, so we really do seem to be meeting at an odd convergence of times. 
I did the only logical thing I could do after receiving such a notification; I went to beat their score. And I did. It felt kind of good to be back there again, like returning nostalgically to the basics after gaining more experience. It also felt good to win not going to lie.
Over the next few days Broadwayangel8 and I became locked in a battle for supremacy over the Match game on this Quizlet set. I am currently a fraction of a second in the lead and waiting for their response. If they decide to respond that is. Maybe I’m just lonely now that my semester is over, but I really hope they do. I feel genuinely connected to this person. Even if they don’t respond and I never meet them, I love that sort of connection with strangers. There we all are interacting with each other, gaining little pinprick insights into the lives of others, passing them by and noticing something personal but without context.
So Broadwayangel8, if you’re out there, hello! Can we be friends? Can we be actual fully formed human beings for each other instead of this little point of light, this little piece of information? I see from your previous sets that we have somewhat similar interests. Would you like to practice French with me, if you kept it up past 2013? Or we could just play match together. That would be fine too. I’ve made some pretty lit (literature) Quizlet sets since then which we could face off on if you have the time.
