Falling in Love with a Foreign Exchange Student
The Trials and Tribulations of Falling in Love
(with a foreign exchange student).

Love is already a very complex and mysterious emotion from the very beginning. There are so many different variables and constants that you could almost look at love as a very complex mathematical equation. These equations take in to account your aspirations and qualities of yourself as a human being. The equation then would use all of this human data and plug it in and then BANG, you have so many different matches and choices. If you ever watch TV you probably have seen the eHarmony add while surfing the channels. This commercial states that one of every five relationships start out online now. I only touch on the predictability of love to then shatter this with the complete and utter uncertainty that had befallen me in my trials and tribulations of falling in love (with a foreign exchange student). It was the first day of my junior year of high school when I met my sweetheart. You know how on the first day of school nothing gets done. Teachers can’t teach because there are no books and kids wont listen even if the teacher tried to teach something (the first week of school is usually like this). And this was exactly the case for me and the first class I had with her. At school when you’re a new person your like a new toy for everyone to play with and the kids that wanted to play with her were a bunch of dudes. But since word had gotten out about the hot new foreign exchange student everyone was trying to get a piece of her.
Every guy imaginable would try and get anywhere near her because she was new and still didn’t know much about anybody so they could have a fresh start with someone. What I described here was not the case for me. We both had one of the same classes and coincidentally were paired to be in a group of our own for one of the first days we were in it. So I got to have some one on one face time with her without having to compete with anyone else for

    Love is a complicated topic, in my opinion there are two types of love. The first type is when people can tell their friends or their family members that they love them. This type of love is the kind of love where everybody knows their supper close with one another, and will do anything for each another. The second type of love is the love that one person has between another human being, this special someone could be that other human beings soul mate. This type of love is where one person can tell their significant partner anything they want in the world, because they know that they can trust them to be straight up with them.…

    Sixth grade, the first year in the new middle school building. It was about the third week into school and a teacher came up to me and asked me to watch over this kid named Justin. (He was different from everyone else, he had a birth-defect.) I said sure, why not, he seems to be nice. He only had one friend, and that one friend I wouldn't say was a good one. Later that week I was called into the disciplinarian's office, her name was Mrs. Landry. She was the seventh grade Social Studies teacher. So wanted me to tell her everything that happened, I didn't what to tell her,…

    Science of Sex Appeal

    • 3543 Words
    • 15 Pages

    As humans, we are driven by forces of inherited behavior and instinct that has been passed down through thousands of years of evolution. We are genetically programmed to look for qualities in another person that we think would result in the best offspring. There are certain queues given off by the opposite sex that the brain subconsciously processes and then computes. From the way that person walks to the way their face is shaped, our brain is constantly processing the people we come in contact with to make one ultimate decision: Is this person a good genetic match for the most viable offspring, or not? So how much control do we actually have when it comes to falling in love? The concept of having no control of who we fall in love with is frightening to some people, and rightfully so. As people, we want to believe that we have freewill, that the decisions we make are made on our own accord or are based off of decisions we have made previously. We want to believe that there are mystic forces at work bringing us to our ultimate soulmate, and above all, we want to believe that we have the ability to choose a partner on our own. The more humans learn about the brain and the body, the more we can see that choosing a partner is less of a choice than we would like to believe. While no one is certain about the meaning of life, we are certain that it is a process of constant progression. This process is known as natural selection. Animals mate and either thrive or die based on the Theory of Natural Selection, which says that animals will mate with an individual that will provide the most viable offspring. Humans are no different. While we may not know it, our primal instincts are at work even when we don’t want them to be. Our brains are constantly scanning individuals to find if they are a suitable match to reproduce with. So what are driving these uncontrollable neurological sparks we call attraction? The answer is simple, hormones. Both genders have sex specific…

    A long time ago, when I was about in the eighth grade, my friend, Armin had a girlfriend named Katyln. It was a weird relationship, then again, I do not think any junior high relationship is normal for us kids these days. He hardly talked to her at school. They mainly just texted each other and said a few words here-and-there at school. Armin and his girlfriend had never even spent time with one another outside of school, so Armin decided to finally go on a first date with his girlfriend. He asked her and she accepted the offer.…
