How To Get Over A Breakup

Couples come and go, and although sometimes we feel as though the person we are with is the one, sometimes things happen and relationships end. As I get older I watch more and more of my friends go through breakups as well as breakups of my own. When you're going through a break up it can feel like the end of the world, but it's important to remember that there are things you can do to make yourself feel better, even if it's only for a little while.

While it may be hard to do anything else but wallow, just remember to surround yourself with your friends and the people who love you. Not only will they help you feel better, but getting out of your house and doing fun things will help distract you from thinking about the breakup.

Even though you may be sad, now is a time for you to focus on you and the things you like to do. Regardless of why you and your partner broke up, now is a time for you to focus on the things you like and the things that make you, you. It is easy to get caught up in another person, so take this time to do the things you like to do.

It is also a time for you to try new things, whether you were in a relationship for 2 months or 5 years, try new things and get out of your comfort zone. Hang out with your friends, go on a road trip, the world is your oyster.

The most important thing to remember when going through a breakup is that the pain is temporary. Eventually, you will feel okay again, but don't feel like you have to be okay all the time. Do whatever you need to do to feel better, let out the emotions so that you can start to move on.

Breakups suck, but there is no need to feel rushed to get over someone, take your time and surround yourself with people who support you.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
