I asked a few of my best girl friends what advice they would give for getting over a breakup, and this is what they said:
"Gotta let it hurt then let it heal... unfollow him from social media & delete his phone number (this prevents you from seeing the things you don't wanna)"
-Tori Helmke, Ohio University
"Make sure you listen to your own timing. Sometimes it’s hard because your friends realize that you need to end your relationship before you know it or feel comfortable. Just wait till you feel sound in your decision & go from there."
-Josie Bunstine, The Ohio State University
"Realize that there’s a reason God ended it so there’s no use in pawning over something that wasn’t meant for you!!!"
-Paige Colley, Hot Spot Coffeehouse
"Exercise, listen to music, and flirt it up!"
-Sophie Manaster, The Ohio State University
"Sometimes, it won't be a clear answer that you need to end things, and it can take a while until you know it was the right decision... unless he cheats or lies then yeah, drop him"
-Jamie Swickard, Denison University
"Surround yourself with your gal pals, and stay away from romance... especially movies!"
-Natalie Stofan, The Ohio State University
"Eat lots of ice cream and sweets!"
-Adeline Almendinger, Otterbien University
"Focus on yourself mad hard. Put all of your energy into things you like to do and goals you want to achieve."
-Addison O'Connor, The Ohio State University
"Whether it’s an unhealthy relationship or the 'right person wrong time,' do what is best for you. Be confident in your decision, and better yourself as you move on."
-Allison Zink, Ohio University
