If you're reading this, you've most likely just had a romantic fall out with a boy. Maybe you both wanted different things, maybe you did something wrong or maybe he did. Whatever the reason for the ending may be, the next weeks or months will be a little rough emotionally. It's going to be hard to replace the memories of what you two had with other things. It's going to be even more difficult to romantically detach yourself from him. It won't be easy but it is totally possible to get over him

Here are some things you can do to help you get over him:

1. Surround yourself with supportive friends

This is probably the most important thing you can do during this rough time. You need people around you who are going to be there when you need to cry or rant or to take you out to distract you. Surrounding yourself with people who are both positive and support can help you more than you think.

2. Reflection

Don't be afraid to look back on the relationship you had with him. Acknowledge all the good and the bad qualities. It's totally healthy to reminisce about your relationship but don't over analyze things you might have said or did in the past thinking they led to the end.

3. Adjust to being single again

When you end things with someone, that doesn't mean you have to jump straight back into the single world again. It's going to take some adjustment getting used to not being with him anymore. Ease yourself back into it step by step.

4. Acknowledge that it is really over

It's going to seem weird that something you were so used is suddenly gone from your life, but you have to keep telling yourself that it is really over. That chapter of your life is over and it's time to start over again.

5. Don't hide away from the world; go out and live in it

Go out and experience new things. Maybe do things that he didn't like but you've always wanted to experience. Go travel. Go out to dinner with your girlfriends. Go out into the world and experience whatever you can. There is no feeling more refreshing than this.

6. Cry about it if you need to

It's okay to be sad about it. Even if it was all his fault and he was in the wrong. You've lost someone who really, truly adore and that will be difficult. You're allowed to be sad about endings.

7. Remember: This is NOT the end of your love life.

This is just the end of a chapter, not the end of the book. There are people out there wondering what it would be like to have someone like you in their life. There will be other boys, other chances to love someone. All you need is a little bit of time.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
