Breakups are an aspect of life that we all have to get through and some are harder than others. If you're feeling down, sit up wipe away your tears and focus on something else that can help to channel all of the emotions that you're feeling right now.

So grab your television and boot up Netflix with a few close friends and a pint or two of Ben and Jerry's ice cream and prepare to eat and cry away all of your feelings.

1. "John Tucker Must Die"

Boys can be jerks and this movie shows the embodiment of that fact, but somehow this movie gives us all a little bit of hope. In this moment of weakness, it's so satisfying to see a jerk get what he deserves. After watching "John Tucker Must Die" you'll realize that the jerk isn't really worth it and neither is the revenge that you're so desperately seeking.

2. "Legally Blonde"

Especially after a very long and very sudden breakup, "Legally Blonde" will show you how no matter what you do, he might not change his mind, but that's okay because he's not worth it. He was trash when he dumped you and he's trash now. Never change yourself for anyone, but if you do... Make sure you're better than him.

3. "Heathers"

Veronica and JD portray your feelings. Everyone who has done wrong (comparative to your ex) gets exactly what's coming to them. What goes around comes around. And in "Heathers" you get the added bonus that JD can even help to show you that maybe your ex isn't as amazing as you thought they were. Sometimes the people we love and would give anything for will treat us like trash the second we realize that we realize something isn't right. And you don't deserve that.

4. "My Girl"

Take us back to the simpler times of being a child in puppy love. Veda will help you to think about how your life is bigger than this bad time you're going through right now. Things may seem bad right now, but they can always get so much better. And remember, just because you lost someone close to you, it doesn't mean you can't still move on.

5. "The Notebook"

The perfect love story is exactly what you need to help deal with your broken heart. There are a few aspects that will show you what you really deserve. You deserve to be cherished and treated with the utmost respect.

6. "Ten Things I Hate About You"

Coming to terms with the fact that you hate (but will never actually really hate) your previous significant other is just a part of accepting your break up. "Ten Things I Hate About You" also introduces the idea that maybe the whole male gender isn't as bad as your perceived your ex to be in the beginning.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
