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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
