In This Article:

Broken hearts are inevitable, but that doesn't make them any more bearable. Whether the breakup was mutual or one-sided, losing someone that you thought was special hurts. It just sucks. Personally, I've had one monumental breakup and the heartbreak altered me (for the better, but still, I've changed).

Therefore, surrounding yourself with friends is essential during this tumultuous time as they provide support, love, and give the best of the best mom-advice.

You are beautiful

Genuine compliments go a long way. Sometimes you need to hear it from others before you begin to believe and say it yourself.

It wasn't meant to be

There's a reason you weren't meant to be together and there's no way around it except acceptance.

I have pizza and ice cream and chocolate!

Snacks are always the answer.

Surround yourself with positives

There's nothing wrong with feeling lonely and moping around from time to time, but, in general, make sure to experience good vibes and positive juju by encircling yourself with happy people and joyful opportunities.

There's someone else out there for you

It's hard to hear, especially when you cared for one specific individual, but, one day, you will find your person.

We need some Adele

Grab a glass of wine, snuggle on the couch, and prepare for the emotions to flow.

Let's find some puppies

Puppies! Tons of puppies! There is no way you can be wholly sad when you have puppies jumping all over you. Pet therapy is a true and tested method that is bound to help you crack a smile.

Let's point out everything that was wrong with your ex

Until you finally realize that they're not worth all this angst.

Rant on and on and on

Just continue into a tirade about them or life or whatever you need. Letting it all out helps and being angry is okay.

Focus on loving yourself before depending on others for love

Being content with your own independence can be a struggle, but it's worth it in the end.

Distract distract distract

Stay busy! Do all the things you never had time to do and fully immerse yourself in them.

Blessing in disguise

In some ways your life will change, but you don't have to be afraid, it only gets better from here.

Take this time to be selfish

Prioritize yourself: do what's best for you! If you have to block your ex to move on, by all means, go for it! Delete everything. I mean everything: from pictures and videos to anything on social media.

You deserve all the love in the world and to be treated right

There is someone out there who will treat you the way you deserve to be taken care of, and you will find one another.

Every emotion was and is valid

Every emotion you feel now and every and any feeling you felt during your relationship is and was true. It may not have ended well, but that doesn't mean you didn't have happy moments. No one is denying that.

Stand tall, but cry if you need to

You have everything you need to be confident, but there's nothing wrong with letting your feelings out and having a healthy crying session. Even if the breakup was for the best, it's okay to take your needed time to grieve.

Let’s take a trip!

Get out of your surroundings and have fun with your best friends!

Time to snuggle and watch funny videos

Laughing is the best medicine, so grab a blanket, get comfortable, and watch a comedy or some hilarious YouTube videos.

Dance and sing it out

As Taylor Swift would say, "Shake It Off!" and release those happy hormones.

Post breakup glow-ups are real

Focus on developing yourself as an individual and, trust me, it will all come together.

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.

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?
