10 Ways To Get Over Being Crushed By Your Crush

We’ve all been there, crushing on someone we know we can’t have. Somehow, it seems getting over crushes is harder than moving on from actual relationships because (usually) the other party doesn’t know you exist, which makes you want to die inside. Do they know I exist? Did they text me back? What are they doing now? Here are some ways to cure yourself of "the feels."

1. Create distance

It's hard to get over someone when you're constantly hanging out with them. Find the right balance of distance between you and them for your own good.

2. Do you

Find something you love to do and don't give up on that. Some people are temporary, but hobbies and your interests are (hopefully) something you can always count on.

3. Talk it out

Talking about it may be the best way to get over your crush. Don't bottle your feelings up and leave them sitting in the cupboard. It won't do any good.

4. Distract yourself

Find a new person to pass the time with. Date someone else. Learn yoga. Anything that will distract you from thinking about your crush.

5. Unfollow them

Stop torturing yourself by looking at their social media accounts and obsessing over how you're not there with them. Instead, take care of yourself and delete, delete, delete them!

6. Keep it real

When we really like someone, we tend to focus all too much on the positives about them and idolize them in a way that is out of touch with reality. See things the way they are.

7. Know it's temporary and you're not alone

No matter how much you are hurting, this is most likely just a phase and it will eventually fade away. Also, know you're not alone in this process.

8. Know your worth

When we're getting over a crush, one thing our friends always remind us is "It's THEIR loss." Which is true! This person is not the only person in the world. YOU, however, are the only you.

9. Make a list

When all else fails, make a bullet list of things you dislike about your crush. Don't be a Ross, though, and let it slip into the hands of them.

10. Take it one day at a time

No one is perfect. And when you start catching the feels for someone, the best thing to do is take it day by day. Don't rush anything or be impatient. Take it hour by hour, even.

So basically, deciding to stop liking someone is tough. Even though you may feel lame for being so bummed out, you shouldn't. Don't worry, there's nothing ice cream can't cure!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
