Love is like cocaine, look it up on wikipedia

You all heard that being in a romantic love acts like a cocaine right? no? well.. let me explain.

Cocaine increases dopamine and serotonin in your nucleus accumbens, which is the pleasure center in your brain. But this effect doesn't last forever because your body can metabolize these compounds. This is when you get the feeling of depression because now those chemicals that sent "happy" feelings to your brain is no more. Similarly, in a relationship, if you ever get romantic with each other, your body releases serotonin whenever you think of your significant other, assuming that the relationship is great. This is especially true during the honeymoon stage when couples spend most of their time in bed. As there is a downside to the broken down happy chemicals, there is a downside to a romantic relationship ending.

I don't know my reason for telling you this. I guess I just found this interesting, but please stay away from cocaine :). There are plenty of women/men out there that you can get into a romantic relationship with, and feel the withdrawal after, but I have to warn you, after it happens, you might not want to start one again.

Undergrad is finally over for me, and I won't be going back to school till august, assuming I get into pharm school. I have a few plans ahead. I am not as active as I want to be. I was so focused to get the grades during school year that I seem to miss out a lot too. End of this semester, I was sad to leave my roommate, who i got to know over the past year and a half. We have gotten quite close, and it was sad to think that maybe he would have a crappy roommate (assuming he thought I was great). A few of my plans include 1. getting back in shape, 2. working a lot to keep myself busy, 3. volunteering whenever I can, 4. learning stocks, 5. traveling to korea, and 6. getting in touch with a few old friends.

I just remembered why I wrote about cocaine. It's because although cocaine has severe withdrawal symptoms that can lead to suicidal thoughts and depression that are severe enough for hospitalization, I still don't believe that it's worse than a heart break. Although I think it's something everyone should experience sometime in their life... I feel that sometimes it's too much.

Has anyone seen district 9? it's crazy. That man, although not that well-liked by others, loved his woman to the very end. He wasn't even a human at the end.. that's some love.. hardcore shit. You rock aliennotwelllikedbyothers guy.
