When going through a breakup, most people go through "stages." Some of these might be sadness, anger, jealousy, craziness and just general longing. At least for me, these stages don't happen in any real order, and they often jump around from day to day, or even sometimes hour to hour.

Still, no matter what stage you're currently in, you'll be able to relate to the songs on this list.

1. "IDGAF" by Dua Lipa

Cut you off I don't need your love. So you can try all you want, your time is up.

2. "Sorry Not Sorry" by Demi Lovato

Now I'm out here looking like revenge, feelin' like a ten, the best I ever been. And yeah, I know how bad it must hurt to see me like this.

3. "Sleep Without You" by Brett Young

Never thought I would be like this, just wide awake waitin' on a goodnight kiss.

4. "Let Her Go" by Passenger

You see her when you close your eyes. Maybe one day you'll understand why everything you touch surely dies.

5. "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran

Take me into your loving arms. Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars. Place your head on my beating heart.

6. "Only Us" from Dear "Evan Hansen"

What if it's you and what if it's me and what if that's all that we need it to be? And the rest of the world falls away? What do you say?

7. "Words Fail" from "Dear Evan Hansen"


This was just a sad invention, it wasn't real, I know, but we were happy. I guess I couldn't let that go.

8. "Youngblood" by 5 Seconds of Summer

So who you been calling "baby"? Nobody could take my place. When you're looking at those strangers, hope to God you see my face.

9. "Want You Back" by 5 Seconds of Summer

I remember the freckles on your back and the way that I used to make you laugh. 'Cause you know every morning I wake up yeah, I still reach for you.

10. "Amnesia" by 5 Seconds of Summer

If what we had was real, how could you be fine? 'Cause I'm not fine at all.

11. "Bad Liar" by Selena Gomez

I was walking down the street the other day, tryna distract myself, but then I see your face. Oh wait, that's someone else.

12. "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie

I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket, but I've got to get a move on with my life.

13. "Shout Out to My Ex" by Little Mix

Shout out to my ex, you're really quite the man. You made my heart break, and that made me who I am.

14. "Hair" by Little Mix

We're going out, ain't got no worries. Drama now it just seems so funny. Put my hands up in the air I'm like yeah, gotta get him out my hair.

15. "Out Loud" by Gabbie Hanna

Can you tell me where we went wrong? At least tell me just to move on.

16. "Getting Over" You by Lauv

The truth is I could spend my whole life getting over you.

17. "I Fall Apart" by Post Malone

Tell me you don't want me no more, but I can't let go.

18. "The History of Wrong Guys" from "Kinky Boots"

Another chapter in the history of wrong guys. You used to be so "eh," a limp lackluster bore, but now you're changing into something I just can't ignore.

19. "When He Sees Me" from "Waitress"

I can't help from hoping to find someone to talk to who likes the way I am. Someone who when he sees me, wants to again.

20. "Feelings" Hayley Kiyoko

I over-communicate and feel too much. I just complicate it when I say too much.

21. "New Rules" by Dua Lipa

My love, he makes me feel like nobody else. But my love, he doesn't love me.

22. "Jolene" by Dolly Parton

You could have your choice of men, but I could never love again. He's the only one for me, Jolene.

23. "No Tears Left to Cry" by Ariana Grande


Right now, I'm in a state of mind I wanna be in, like, all the time. Ain't got no tears left to cry.

24. "Happier" by Ed Sheeran

Ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you, but ain't nobody love you like I do. Promise that I will not take it personal, baby if you're moving on with someone new.

25. "fOoL fOr YoU" by ZAYN

Given a chance I'd do it again, 'cause I can't help myself, 'cause I can't stop myself. I just love being a fool for you.

26. "When I Look at You" by Miley Cyrus

When my world is falling apart, when there's no light to break up the dark, that's when I look at you.

27. "Hello" by Adele

At least I can say that I've tried to tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart. But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore.

28. "Back to December" by Taylor Swift

It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you. Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine.

29. "Tim McGraw" by Taylor Swift

When you think happiness, I hope you think "that little black dress." Think of my head on your chest and my old faded blue jeans.

30. "Never Be the Same" by Camila Cabello

It's you, babe and I'm a sucker for the way that you move, babe. And I could try to run, but it would be useless.

No matter what stage you're in after a breakup, at least one of the songs on this list will help you get through the tough time. Remember, it hurts now, but everything happens for a reason!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
