How To Get Over Your Ex

Getting over a breakup is just plain cruel

How To Get Over Your Ex

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!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
