Forgetting That One Idiot

You thought you were the O.T.P., but hey face the reality: your relationship's over.

Forgetting That One Idiot
Warren Wong

You start a relationship, and surprisingly it lasts almost a year. You are on cloud 9, thinking how successful you are that your relationship has surpassed the traditional expiry date of a couple of months. You receive a text from your significant other after your one year anniversary, and it says that the both of you need to talk.

You mistook it for a casual date and get your hopes up to see your other. You both meet up, and the significant other tells you how he or she has been unsure of the relationship you both share, and he or she doesn't want to continue it further. Basically, you break up...what do you do?

Now, unfortunately, break ups suck. Such emotions blur most intuitions, and they lead to a spiral of negative actions that one regrets later. However, there should be no regret stemming from a relationship in which the person ditches you: that person did not deserve you whatsoever. It is NOT the end of the world if one person doesn't want you. However, here are a few tips to get yourself out of that heartache:

1. Look At Yourself in the Mirror.

The mirror will help you see yourself for who you are, and it will remind you of what the other is missing out on. Trust me, the mirror can magnify your perfections like it can magnify your imperfections. It just depends on your perspective.

2. Dance It All Away.

Nonsensical dancing is the answer to getting rid of all your worries. When you turn up the music high and dance like a maniac, you feel free of yourself and any worries that may have been weighing you down. Try it out!

3. It's High-Time You Spent Some Quality Time With The Fam.

Your family can help you out of any emotional mess. However, if that is not an option, your friends, particularly your best friends, is your next best option. Rant to them, tantrum to them, spill out your anger, and you will feel relieved.

4. Flush That Idiot Out!

Any memory associated with your ex should be removed from your life. My suggestion, fill a box of the idiot's stuff and toss it. Better yet, flush the idiot's images down the toilet. Just start afresh.

5. Just Smile.

Smiling is harder than frowning, and I bet all you want to do is frown. Remember, that person does not deserve that frown, and you don't deserve wasting your life away in sorrow. Find happiness in the little details, and trust me you'll be content.

You shouldn't sink in heartbreaks. Yes, you gave your 100% to that person; but, if that person doesn't respect that, don't let the person's rejection drive your life. Accelerate into the next phase of life, which is being a kickass single lady or lad.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
