10 Empowering Songs To Help You Get Over A Breakup
Rolling Stone

Breakups are difficult for everyone, but possibly the best part of a breakup is getting over it. But that can be very difficult. Luckily, there is a whole list of songs out there made just to help you get over whoever it was that broke your heart. From nice girls telling you the rules on how to get over boys to girls screaming about how to get revenge, it is all out there, and it is all awesome. Oh, and I did make a YouTube playlist and a Spotify playlist.

1. "New Rules" - Dua Lipa

If you need a kind and pretty girl and her friends to tell you how to get over that boy, I have found the song for you.

Best Lyric: "One, don't pick up the phone/ You know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone"

2. "Woman" - Kesha

An empowering song about the fact that YOU are a woman and you don’t need a man.

Best Lyric: "Don't buy me a drink, I make my money/ Don't touch my weave, don't call me 'honey'"

3. "Shout Out To My Ex" - Little Mix

A song explaining why men aren’t always the best, but why we should thank our exes for they did--or didn’t--give us.

Best Lyric: "Shout out to my ex, you're really quite the man/ You made my heart break and that made me who I am"


4. "Send My Love To Your New Lover" - Adele

Once you actually, truly, get over someone, you can understand and relate to this song.

Best Lyric: "We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts/ We both know we ain't kids no more"


5. "We Don’t Talk Anymore" - Charlie Puth

Looking back at the way you and someone used to be can be a painful experience, but this song at least makes it something to dance to.

Best Lyric: "Should've known your love was a game/ Now I can't get you out of my brain"


6. "Bad Girls" - M.I.A.

Who needs a man, or woman, when you are a bad girl who kicks ass?

Best Lyric: “Live fast, die young, bad girls do it well.”


7. "Before He Cheats" - Carrie Underwood

People that cheat are terrible people and we don’t need ‘em.

Best Lyric: "I slashed a hole in all four tires/ Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats"


8. "100 Letters" - Halsey

A whole song about being glad that what had happened is over and being glad you didn't give them more than you did.

Best Lyric: "But I don't let him touch me anymore/ I said 'I'm not something to butter up/ And taste when you get bored'"


9. "Sorry Not Sorry" - Demi Lovato

Another song about being the baddest and not needing anyone to tell you that.

Best Lyric: "Being so bad got me feelin' so good/ Showing you up like I knew that I would"


10. "Picture To Burn" - Taylor Swift

The queen of breakup songs herself in her prime.

Best Lyric: "There's no time for tears, I'm just sitting here/ Planning my revenge"



Break ups are hard, but there is nothing better than blasting some good music and dancing around your bedroom like you just don't care! So get out there and show the world what you're made of!

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.
