How To Know It's Time To Get Over It

One of the worst feelings is seeing a friend going through heartbreak or going through heartbreak yourself. It is upsetting because you know that no matter what you say your friend probably won't take your advice.

Some times the reasons we don't move on are because we still have hope for a positive outcome in the future, we aren't ready, or we plain and simply refuse.

If you feel like you are stuck in a situation where you keep going back to a person or thing and just can not figure out how to move on here are five reasons on why you should.

1. The situation you are in is hurting you, leaving you with sleepless nights and tears.


We have all had those days where we couldn't sleep because something was too upsetting, and if you are at that point with someone you should move on. Staying in that situation is only going to continue to make you upset and feel hopeless.

2. The person is only there when it is convenient for them.

If the only time they answer your texts or phone calls is when they want something from you, they're no good for you.

3. They invite you to social events and parties but they spend the whole time talking to someone else.


For those who are in college, you know if someone invites you to something typically you spend the majority of the time with them, not hanging out as far away from them as possible!

4. They say we should stop talking but call you a day later saying they miss you.

Don't listen to someone who goes back and forth on their word all the time, you can't trust them.

5. They already moved on.

Wave goodbye because if someone already seems like they moved on, it is probably best if you move on too. Everyone deserves to be happy in the long run.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
