It finally happened. Whether it was mutual or rough on one side or the other, you broke up. Now, as you creep into single life and try to learn how to handle this crazy aspect of life again, it is completely reasonable that your mind is all over the place. You will think of your ex, their family, and even their pets at least once. If we're being honest, it will happen a few times. When it does, it may or may not drive you crazy.

Here are 13 things you will undoubtedly think about after a breakup, no matter how bad it is.

1. I wonder how his parents reacted

Giphy

Does his mom hate me? Did his dad high-five him because he's secretly happy I'm gone? Did they scold him for letting a good girl go? I have to know.

2. How soon after this will he get into another relationship?

Giphy

Should I even be concerned about that? It's not my business anymore. But what if someone tells me?

3. I hope the dog is OK

Giphy

I think I loved the dog more than him anyway...

4. Will the dog know I'm gone and miss me?

Giphy

I'm so sorry, fur baby. No one meant to hurt you.

5. I hope his mom hates the new girl

Giphy

I was so perfect. She was practically considering me her daughter already. I'd like to see the new girl achieve that.

6. I'd like to see him do better than me

Giphy

He can't. He won't.

7. No one else will put up with his annoying quirks, right?

Giphy

The snoring, the too-loud laughter, the overuse of the word "like"... ugh.

8. I really miss those quirks

Giphy

They were annoying, but sometimes they were so cute.

9. I hope his friends miss me

Giphy

I fit right into the group. They have to wonder where I went.

10. If he texts me I'm not answering

Giphy

Unless it's to tell me that his mom misses me. Then maybe.

11. Should I text him?

Giphy

No... I can't. Can I?

12. I'm so much better off without him

Giphy

Who needs boys, anyway? I can handle being single. I'll be fine.

13. I miss him

Giphy

How can I miss him after all of that? Seriously? Seriously?! This cannot be happening.

Breakups are hard, but conflicting thoughts are harder.

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?

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.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate.
