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.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
