When It Comes To A Failed Relationship, It's Not The Wrong Timing, It's The Wrong Person

Stop blaming timing for failed relationships

When It Comes To A Failed Relationship, It's Not The Wrong Timing, It's The Wrong Person

How many times have you heard the excuse in a failed relationship: "we just never got the timing right?"

I don't know about you, but I hear that excuse in every TV show, so many movies and in most of my friends' relationships. Some of you may think, well, maybe it's true. Maybe if these two individuals were to have met a year later, then maybe they would have worked out.

I personally think that's not true.

First of all, how can you get the timing wrong? And what is time?

Specifically, time is the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole.

Now, I know that sounds like a definition straight off the internet and surprise surprise, it is.

But it's not wrong.

Time is something that doesn't stop. So how could it be wrong? Look at every successful relationship and every successful marriage. They don't blame their fights and their arguments on the timing because that excuse is lazy.

Timing doesn't stop, so what is the problem?

Maybe the problem is the person. Or maybe it's even you.

I guess if it isn't working out with your significant other, then it really doesn't matter what exactly the issue is, but it's completely unfair to blame it on the time.

Time is the most consistent thing in our lives. It's exactly the same every. single. day.

Yet, sometimes we claim "today is going by so slow" or "there isn't enough time in the day."

Time never stops and time doesn't wait for anyone. So don't blame a failed relationship on time, because if this person was "the one," the time wouldn't matter. Nothing would. Anything would be possible to work through, including time and even distance.

If they're not the one, they're not the one.

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.

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.
