How To Get Over A Crush In 7 Steps

1. Begin by denying that you ever liked them.

This step is essential. Once you begin ignoring the fact that your crush ever happened, you are on your way to absolute success. Making fun of yourself for it may also be helpful.

2. Think of all the things you don’t like about them.

Maybe they say a certain word weird or something along those lines. If you can find a “fatal flaw” in them, focus on that! (FYI: if you really like someone, this step could be extremely difficult.)

3.Start thinking about other options of crushes.

I am not telling you to use someone, but if you can find someone that you actually like, there is no harm in moving on to someone new!

4. Avoid them at all costs!

If you see them in the hall, take another route. If you see them at the store, leave. Never ever let yourself have a one on one conversation with them because this will mean that you could restart liking hi

5. Eat ice cream and watch movies.

Even though it isn’t “technically” a break up, you’re allowed to be sad and have your time to mourn the loss of this make believe relationship. (Note: if you surpass 3 gallons of ice cream, you’re never getting over it.)

6. Go out and find something to distract you!


Join a new club or get a new hobby. It sounds pretty lame, but finding something new to focus on really can help take your mind off what could have been.

7.Have a relapse.

We’re all bound to make mistakes, so don’t get discouraged if you see them somewhere, and begin liking them again. Just try to remind yourself of the six previous steps.

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.
