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!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
