6 Steps To Moving On

Weather you just got out of a bad break-up, or you just need to get over someone who is completely not for you, people have been looking for many ways to just feel better.

1. Happy Food

It has been proven chocolate does make us feel better. I always turn to my favorite Ferrero Rocher, a big thing of cookie dough, pizza, and anything else that taste amazing. Though eating my feelings may not be the best thing to do on a daily basis, if it's just for one night call a bestie, or even if you want to be alone and binge watch some movies and stay in your room by all means, do it for that one day, one weekend tops. It is alway ok to cry and if anyone tells you otherwise they are so wrong. Just make sure your not doing this on the daily otherwise you'll have another problem besides a broken heart. Honey, you don't need that its harder to lose the weight, and you don't want to risk the health problems.

2. Hit the gym.

Put all your built up frustration into the gym. There is nothing better than coming up with a banging body. Nothing feels better than saying I was hot before, but look at me now, I can walk up the stairs without being out of breath, but no really. Working out is an amazing stress relif. After you have your Happy Food phase, burn that weekend off, and start a new better lifestyle. Getting stronger and healthier is incredibly empowering, plus there is a whole bunch of eye candy at the gym to keep your mind of of you know who.

3. Start doing you, boo.

Get back into the things you used to love doing, or always wanted to, but never got the chance to. Try that recipe you never got to, take a cooking class. Go see a movie alone, it's actually not that bad. Go on an adventure. Make some memories with your friends. Go shopping, shopping definitely helps me. Try out a new or your favorite restaurant. Rock climbing, sky diving, bungee jumping. Or even poetry, getting everything down into work. Work is a great distraction. Pamper yourself, whatever it is start doing you again.

4. Drop the social media

Don't be petty and block him on everything, be an adult, but at the same time. Do not look at his social media. Do not text him either! I strongly believe that especially nowadays. We kill ourselves, checking up on them, there going to intensionally post things for you to see, how great there doing. It's a trap. Don't torture yourself. A friendship can be made with an ex, but give it time.

5. You have friends for a reason

This time is the best for a BFF time, or even your parents. They were there at one point or another. Whoever you trust, should be there for you especially when your not feeling so you. While alone time can be beneficial, don't torture yourself with your own thoughts, spend time with those who help you get your mind off of it.

6. Time

Even Wonder Woman wouldn't be able to get over someone in a day. Give yourself time. Time will ultimately heal your wounds. And please do Not try and kill that time with someone else. Find what makes you happy. It's ok to be single. It's awesome. You have to Love yourself before someone can ever Love you.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.
