Healing From Heartache

Letting Go Of Your Emotional High

Its easy to want to give up as soon as something you've put your time and effort into goes wrong. Having met so many people but failing to have a connection with any of them. The feeling you get when you finally meet someone whom you instantly connect, instantly vibe, and enjoy the presence and company of. Everything is great until something goes wrong displaying the flaws that you were blinded by before.

By now you're stuck between having to choose whether you want to continue to be in the situation you're currently in or if its best to let go. A rush of feelings that's all you can feel. Perhaps, helplessness because you let yourself get fooled, for taking a risk and giving your all to someone. You feel foolish at the thought that you let your guard down.

Letting go of a level of intimacy you shared with someone else is something you can't get back or replace. You know the persons wrong for you but you can't seem to come to a realization.

Eventually, you pick yourself up. From time to time you think about this person. The nerves start hitting you. You keep telling yourself, "Why do I keep thinking about this person? it's been so long...Why now? why are you on my mind." You feel the need to find answers.

There are things we can't explain, there aren't any explanations as to why things like this happen. You just have to learn to move past the heart-wrenching pain of wanting answers and have to look at the overall picture. This person hurt you and by letting go you'll get rid of the heartache.

You are seeking answers to something that does not want to be found. Save yourself the time and effort. Don't give in to your emotional ego. Remind yourself, its time to let go.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
