In This Article:

I've recently discovered the show The Mrs. Marvelous Maisel on Amazon Video, and it is officially my new favorite show. Season three where you at?! Midge is the perfect housewife with the perfect husband and the perfect little family and lives in a perfect little huge apartment in the upper west side. But, spoiler alert, it all gets flipped upside down and Midge is forced to make some big discoveries of her own. Little did she know her picture-perfect life was holding her back all along. The post-breakup journey is a rough one, but if you do it right it can be a journey of self-discovery, growth, and enlightenment.

So here are the post-breakup stages as told by Midge in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel:

1. The initial shock sets in

You don't know what you did wrong, or why this is happening to you. You have so many great qualities AND you're funny?

2. One thing leads to another...

https://giphy.com

3. And you're here.

Next thing you know you're a couple of glasses an ENTIRE wine bottle in and you're in for a night full of regrets.

4. The wine bottle takes over

Now you're saying what's REALLY on your mind. Regretful? Maybe. Therapuetic? 100 percent.

5. OK maybe you could have left this part out...

6. You've sobered up and...

While it felt good at the time you feel like you could have maybe expressed your emotions a little differently.

7. You own it and move on

8. And then it hits you

https://giphy.com

You have so much time for YOU. Why not use this hurt as fuel to spend time on yourself. It's time to thrive and, yes, this is a thing.

9. Now you're eating whatever you want

"Why do we pretend we're not hungry when WE'RE HUNGRY?" Pizza > a flat stomach.

10. You're the life of the party

https://giphy.com

11. You have a new job

https://giphy.com

Or maybe a new haircut...

12. And now you're truly thriving

https://giphy.com

13. And when you see your ex out and about...

All you'll want to do is thank him. Cause walking out of your life is the best thing he did for you. Thank u, next.

Letter To My High School Friend Group

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
