Now, this one is for the men out there. Some of you act very odd after a break-up and guess what? Us girls can pick up on it and you look pathetic most of the time, but hey girls, we can do the same thing. Here are some rules I've made for myself to help me with past break-up's that could potentially help one of you!

1. Do delete their number, no matter how hard it is.

Get rid of it, do a spring cleaning of your phone (even if it's not spring yet).

2. Don't try and make them jealous.

It will turn into a huge fight and you won't be happy you hurt them again.

3. Don't break up with them over text.

Don't hit the lowest of lows.

3. Do unfollow on EVERYTHING.

If you keep checking on their socials, heads up, you still want them. Don't block though because then you look petty.

4. Don't stalk their new girlfriends/boyfriends Instagrams or Twitters.

You'll only hurt more than you did before.

5. Don't talk to them, or even text them.

Yup, you heard me.

6. Don't even send that "I miss you." text.

You'll look very stupid.

7. Do remove everything about them from your life immediately.

Waiting only makes it harder.

8. And, don't even try to do the "let's be friends" thing.

It get's really complicated.

9. Do have at least one friend follow them on their social media's.

Because everyone does get nosy, it's better if your friends follow them because then you aren't checking up on them everytime they pop into your mind.

10. Don't subtweet.

Just don't, it's stupid.

11. Don't put yourself down.

Remember your self-worth. That's the most important part.

12. Do take some time for yourself.

This doesn't mean skip school to lay in bed and cry, but spoil yourself. Buy yourself nice and new or even go for a haircut or get your nails done. YOU time is very helpful during the healing process.

13. Don't stop going to social events.

If you know they're going to be there, still, go. Don't hide away, show them that you moved on and you are happy with where you stand (even if it's hard).

14. Do spend time with family and friends.

They will be there by your side to help you heal.

Good luck, not that you'll need it but just because I liked to hear it too.

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?

sisters

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.

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!)
