5 Things I Learned From My Last Relationship

In high school I was always around guys I had an interest in, but I never made it “official” with anyone. I was always the type of girl who just went with the flow and didn’t like the thought of being committed to anybody. That all changed as soon as I came to college. Not only did I fall in love so quickly, but I feel as though I lost myself in the relationship.

  • Never Regret Anything
    Okay, maybe the relationship wasn’t perfect but there were a lot of really good times. You can’t take back any time you spent with your significant other, so don’t regret it. Whether you wish you did things differently or wish you never spent X amount of years of your life with someone, it taught you so many life lessons that you will always be able to fall back on.
  • Grow From It
    Don’t feel bad for yourself because you chose your boyfriend over your friends so many times, just don’t do that in the future. Don’t sulk in self pity because you feel bad because you kissed someone else while you had a boyfriend, just don’t do it again. There are so many things you probably wish you did differently, but instead of crying over it you should let it shape you into the person you want to be.

  • Don’t Lose Yourself in Someone Else
    Being in love is so fun and wanting to spend every single second with that person is normal, but don’t do it. It is so important to have space in a relationship, there’s only so much time you can spend with someone without wanting to rip their throat out.
  • Do What Makes You Happy
    Sometimes it’s hard to remember the moment you started falling out of love with someone, but one day you realize that you aren’t where you’re supposed to be. Breaking up with someone you thought you were going to spend the rest of your life with isn’t easy, but you need to do what’s best for you.

  • Live Life for Yourself
    When you go through a break up you over analyze every part of your life. You go back and review situations you might wish you could change. This is not the time to think about what you could have done differently, it’s a time to figure yourself out and understand yourself better. Maybe a reason you broke up with your significant other was because you felt like you lost sight in who you were, what your goals were, and what you wanted out of life.

Don’t regret what you went through, just remember to learn and grow from it. You never know where life is going to take you, just go with it.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
