Going through a breakup can be hard but here are 15 things you should do after a breakup... and remember everything happens for a reason.

1. Don't think about it.

Thinking about the breakup will cause you to be up all night wondering what you did wrong and asking yourself why.

2. Don't look at old photos.

Whatever you have to do don't look at the pictures whether it's hiding them, throwing them away, or even giving them to a friend.

3. Cry. Cry until there are no more tears.

This sounds silly but it really works. Sometimes you just have to cry, and after a breakup is the perfect time.

4. Do not beg for what does not want to stay.

If they didn't want to stay in the first place they won't stay even if you beg.

5. Get new bed sheets.

Get a brand new start with bed sheets. Not only will it look good but it will help you forget those Sunday morning cuddles and nights they spent with you.

6. Gather all of the gifts, clothes, anything and donate it.

I know you want to keep everything but keeping things will make you remember and remembering will make it hard to get over it.

7. Go to your closest ice cream shop and get ice cream, cause girl you deserve it.

Ice cream solves everything honestly.

8. Stop crying eventually.

Trust me.. the tears will stop eventually.

9. Plan a trip.

Whether it's a trip by yourself or with a few friends go somewhere it will clear your mind and remind you that everything happens for a reason.

10. Don't listen to slow songs.

Slow songs are just a trap and they will make you cry.

11. Whatever you do. DO NOT CALL.

You know, just don't do this.

12. Start a project.

Whether it's redoing your bedroom or painting a picture.

13. Hangout with friends & family.

Hanging out with people can clear your mind and help you forget.

14. Breathe.

Don't forget to breathe. Going through a break up you will cry and you will forget to breathe cause of how much you're crying.

15. Forgive and forget.

Forgiving is all you can do, and if it's meant to be it'll be but if it's not forget.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
