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!

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?
