Hearts can feel broken sometimes. The important thing to note is that, most of the time, they aren't actually broken. You'll get through that breakup, being ghosted, or that relationship that never was, and here are a few tips to help you do so.


1. Don't listen to sad music if it overwhelms you with heartache; Do listen to sad music if it is what you need to heal.

2. Do watch cartoons. Classic cartoons. I'm talkin' Spongebob, Kim Possible, and Tom and Jerry.

3. Don't stalk their social media. It's not good for you. Look at funny cat videos instead; those are hilarious.

4. Do yoga. Meditation. Good stuff.

5. Don't wear anything of theirs. Throw that sh*t out tbh.

6. Do write it down. You might cry. Write it down anyway, in a journal, on a post it, or a napkin. Just write it down, honey.

7. Don't be afraid to put yourself out there again. This is important. Take chances. Allow yourself to trust again, but remember to give it time first.

8. Do cry. As much as you want. As much as you need to. Screw stigmas.

9. Do finger paint (with your toes).

10. Do bake cupcakes and/or cookies. Eat most of them.

11. Do take a social media break in general, and read a book or two instead.

12. Do drink something that comforts you, like tea or milk. Steer clear of booze.

13. Do find something, preferably something healthy, to help divert your mind and put all your focus into, like schoolwork or crocheting.

14. Do know that losing someone is not worth losing yourself.

15. Do, in the case that you have already lost yourself, whatever means necessary to find yourself once again.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
