Boys will be (f*ck)boys. They make you cry, laugh, and fall in love again only to break your heart and make you cry some more. The best cure for getting over them is to dance it out, scream at the top of your lungs, and have a good cry. Here are my top eight songs for each treatment method. So mix 'em, match 'em, and grab some ice cream, because, honey, you are going to get over him and be better than before.
Crank up the speakers, grab some friends, and dance it out to some of my favorite jams.
