How To Get Over Your Ex

Getting over a breakup is just plain cruel

I know it is hard and super tricky to just forget something that had so much meaning to you. I get it. I was there a few times as well. It's hard to pretend that they do not exist. I know how hard it is to not just message them, call them, or even check their social media pages. But you have to move on somehow.

Delete them from all of your social media pages.

It's crazy, but you'll soon forget about them. Unless you all run around in the same circle. Then it may get a bit tricky.

Luckily for me, I was able to just sever the bond quickly, because I knew I didn't need that ish in my life. It was toxic to my life, and I feel so much better without him.

Hang out with old pals.

Maybe while you were with them, you did not get as much time to see you buds! Plan a getaway or go see a movie. Life can be so much easier when you have your pals by your side.

I clung to all of my friends, new and old, when mine ended. I was glad to have the company, and they seemed to have a mutual feeling. It's very therapeutic having a good bud to just vent to or plan something with when you are feeling down.

Discover yourself.

Although this is a tricky one even for me, going and doing things by yourself is okay. Spend a little alone-time catching up on the latest shows on Netflix, read a book, go shopping. Do whatever your heart desires, and put all of the effort you had towards the relationship back into you.

I still have a hard time taking my own advice. I get scared doing things alone. It's like people are judging when I have no one with me. Like I'm a loner of some sort. It's gotten a lot easier for me to do this, but with lots of practice. Sure, it may not be easy for you to do this as well, but you'll get the hang of it! I swear!

Return his items.

Give him back his stuff. It's easier to move on that way. You won't think back to the memories and by closing the door. Outta sight, outta mind.

Now, I feel like such a hypocrite telling you that because I never did that. It's not like I wanted to hold on to it, just I didn't want to see him. It's all in the past now and all of the hatches are buried.

These are just a few tips and tricks I have up my sleeve to help you all out in a time like this. It's definitely hard to get over them. Ultimately, this is YOUR decision to make, but I thought I'd put it out there!

Hope you all enjoyed this one! I want to create more articles tailored towards things you guys would like to hear or know about. Let me know in the comment below!

Hope you all have an amazing week, and I'll see you in the next one!

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
