Love Is Too Exhausting

Why can't our hearts take a break?

Love Is Too Exhausting
Chau Tang

In life, it's normal to fall for someone. But, when you're let down constantly over and over again, feeling like love is not in your favor, your emotions are exhausted. You're mentally, physically exhausted and would rather be angry in the corner.

I've felt it too. Anytime when someone you like goes liking another or you're not interested in someone that likes you, it can feel like what is so wrong with you that you're attracting people you really don't want?

Nothing is wrong with you.

I am very tired. I'm tired of feeling not good enough or feeling like the universe hates me. I feel as if the universe wants me to be unhappy. Be unhappy with someone you're unattracted to. Is that what it takes for the world to see? That I'm unhappily trying to seem happy?

Well, it won't work.

Maybe, it isn't my time for love. But, at the same time, I feel as if it's never a right time.

Wish I could have a chat with the universe and ask a bunch of questions. Questions like, "Why do we even have feelings?" "Why can't we live a carefree life?" "Let us not fall in love and get hurt." Just simple questions like that.

I often don't have anyone to chat with about these topics so I have them in my head.

I do wonder why I'm never good enough for someone I actually have feelings for. I'd rather not date someone just to pass the time. We don't have time to deal with petty things like that.

I keep trying to remind myself, they aren't the catch. I am. I do remember it, for a short period of time. Then, my feelings get tired again.

I guess you can say I'm just frustrated. I feel like the universe is telling my to be with someone just because. Yes, hurt feelings are apart of life.

People keep telling me, "It's not your time to fall in love." Well then, I guess it's a time for criminals to commit their crime. They have bad intentions, so why can't good things come to good and kind-hearted people?

Society might say, there is good karma. Really? I guess I haven't met it yet.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
