Ariana Shows Us How To Take Time For Ourselves

At the risk of taking us all back to a magical moment in 2007 ( "Leave Britney Alone!"), I'll say this: Leave. Ari. Alone. The singer/songwriter has had a rough year. She endured a toxic relationship, faced backlash for trying to balance her own health and emotional, and spiritual well being after leaving said toxic relationship. Then after her ex's tragic overdose, faced additional backlash for leaving him when he needed her most.

Before Mac Miller passed, she began her relationship with SNL's Pete Davidson and after a few months, the couple had matching tattoos. A few weeks later, they were engaged. Their relationship lasted five months and was a wild ride to watch through their Instagram stories and interviews, teacup piggy included. Over the weekend, the couple decided "now is not the time" for their relationship to take off. What gives?

The truth is there is nothing wrong with being with someone who makes you happy. However, when a relationship starts to interfere with you or your partner's happiness, it's time for a break. Ariana's relationship with Mac Miller and his struggle with sobriety was no secret. It's unfortunate that people have not stopped to think about how the loss has affected her. Ariana was not responsible for Mac Miller's happiness. She is not responsible for Pete Davidson's happiness either.....She isresponsible for her own happiness though.

Her producer filled in for her at a charity event, when she needed more time to heal post-breakup. While she is healing, she is also taking time away from social media. Before she announced her break from social media, Grande shared a post of her with green lipstick to celebrate A Very Wicked Halloween on Broadway. The caption read "Can't believe I almost let my anxiety ruin this for me today," she said in her post. "Not today satan ! not tomorrow or the next day either not no more [. . .] finna sing my heart out and be a big walking vessel of love bye."

She is a strong woman who knows what she needs out of a relationship, and out of life. Although she lives her life under a microscope for our consumption, she is also aware (read: boss enough to know) she needs to be able to take time to love and care for herself.

As a young woman who struggles with depression and anxiety, it's refreshing to see self-love being shown in such a positive life. Here's to Ari, may she finally get some time to grieve and heal. Who knows, maybe she and Pete Davidson are soul mates, after all. She did write him a song after all.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

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?
