To The Girl Dealing With Her First Heartbreak:

I am not going to say you deserve better. I am not going to tell you that you'll find someone amazing. I am not telling you that when one person leaves another enters your life. I am not going to tell you any of this because I know this is not what you what to hear. However, I hope you come to realize this on your own sometime soon.

I want to say I'm sorry. Girl, we have all been there. Sometimes it was the guy who didn't know you existed. Other times it was the guy who knew you better than you know yourself sometimes. It hurts just the same. I really wish I could be there for you in person but, unfortunately, this letter will have to do for now.

Your first heartbreak leaves you questioning everything you every did. What did you do that made things take a turn for the worst? How could you have tried to fix things? You put all of the blame on yourself. You put yourself down for not seeing this breakup.

You didn't do anything wrong. Nothing. In fact, you did everything right. You put yourself out there. You opened your mind, your soul, and your heart up to another human being. You risked so much for the opportunity to feel appreciated and loved. You did a beautiful thing. I don't want you to forget this. I don't want you to regret this.

I want you to remember you are worth it. You are so incredibly special. You have so many people in your life who admire you. You inspire others to be as graceful, kind, intuitive, generous, and open as you are. You continue to change lives. In fact, you change your own life each and every day. You grow, you learn, you fall and fail, but you are so resilient. You stand up stronger and straighter than before.

Look, it is going to take some time. I can't tell you how long. Sometimes we get lucky and you'll be happy in a month. Other times it takes six months, a year, two years. Everyone is different. We all overcome and handle our emotions differently. The important thing is that you will overcome this. You will soon remember how special and important you are. You will appreciate and love yourself like no other. You will repair your heart and eventually you will help others repair their hearts.

You've got this. Now go enjoy a nice bowl of ice cream. You deserve it!

Sincerely,

The Girl Who Felt The Same Way

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
