Strong Love, Poor Timing

Life doesn't stop for anybody

Strong Love, Poor Timing

From the very start, we knew what we were getting ourselves into. It was never like the timing was good and then eventually turned bad, for us timing was never perfect. But it felt somewhat like a risk, and that's what made it exciting. That's why I loved harder than I ever have. I guess you can say you were my drug. I fell hard and got addicted quickly. It felt so right but so wrong all at the same time.

Unfortunately, we can’t control when people will enter our lives. Some enter at times when they’re well needed and others enter at the worst times.

With you though, it was a mix of both.

You entered my life at a time when I needed you the most but oddly enough, it was also a horrible time for us. And we always knew that.

It almost seemed as if it was never right.

But let me tell you one thing, I give us a whole lot of credit because we fought like hell to make it work. Each and everyday we tried harder and harder because the happiness we felt with each other was so easy to cling onto. When something feels so real, it makes it that much harder to let go of.

The thing with bad timing is that you pretend it doesn’t exist for awhile. You like to ignore the fact that it's there, with that small hope that maybe soon our timing will come. We did that and we tried. But timing was not in our favor, it actually became worse.

I don’t know why you came into my life when you did. Maybe it doesn’t make sense now but it will later, or maybe it will never make sense. All I know is that bad timing or not, it was the best damn feeling in the world.

For now we choose to do the thing that haunts us both the most, let go. Let timing take it's course and see where we end up. Letting go of someone you love due to something you can't control, is a pain I wouldn't want anyone else to feel.

Maybe our time will come one day and all the reasons why it didn’t work now will eventually make sense to us.

I can only hope.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
