To The Girl Going Through A Breakup

I am you.

To the Girl Going Through a Breakup,

I am you. I am in this with you. You are not alone. The crying and the pain and the wondering if you did the right thing. I am with you. You're worried and insecure. You're in pain and you think about it and it hits you like a ton of bricks. I am you. I sit in class and when my mind wanders, it wanders to him. It doesn't matter if your break up was mutual, or if you wanted it, or if he wanted it. It still hits you like a ton of bricks and you wonder if there was anything you could have done to save yourself from this heartache.

But, I am not here to dwell on the negative.

Instead, I am here to tell you that you are strong. You are important. You are beautiful. You are loved. You are valued so much more than you think you are. You are loved by so many, but most importantly, you are loved by your Creator. God knows exactly what you're going through. He knows your every thought and emotion. After all, he created them, and how well do you know the things you create? God loves you so much more than any boy ever could.

I am here to tell you to use this time to have fun. Go out with friends and make memories. Go to places you've never been, and FYI -- it's totally acceptable to go alone. Find yourself. Have some alone time. Read scripture and study. Talk to friends. Talk to your mom (Moms are particularly helpful in these situations) Find your calling. Pray. Give it all to God, and just let it go. (I'm still struggling with that part.) Instead of finding who you are based on your relationships with other people, find who you are in Jesus Christ. Your life will vastly improve, and when you're ready, He will lead you to the right person.

Don't think these feelings last forever, because they don't. It's hard, and you have the right to be sad for a little while, but don't let the sadness take over. Don't let sadness ruin what is probably one of the best times for self-discovery in your life. You are loved and treasured by the One who loves you the most, and that is what matters.

Love,

A Girl Going Through a Breakup

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
