To My Best Friend After Her Heartbreak

Fall back in love with yourself and learn to see yourself the way everyone else sees you.

Huffington Post

Going through a breakup can be incredibly hard. You have to change your everyday routine; your texting, phone calls, and snapchatting habits become different.

You feel different day in and day out. You feel this pain in your gut that you just can't explain. The pain is so deep you feel it in your bones. As you think back to happier times, you find yourself losing your sense of who you are and everything you want out of life.

You can't face this alone.

Stop trying to run from your problems, and let me be there for you. Let me be the best friend that I am here to be, no matter what. You need to let me be there while you cry and drink some more, while you scream at the pain.

You are so brave.

You gave yourself to someone for a long time. Despite the situation, you have kept yourself together and I am so proud of you.

Take time to fall back in love with yourself.

There is no need to jump right back into another relationship. Learn to love yourself again for all that you are and can do for this world. Understand your worth.

You're worth loving.

Every time you go through a breakup, it is easy to wonder what went wrong. Was there something you could have said or done to make it different. No matter the mistakes you made, you're worth loving. Remember that.

You can learn from this.

I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason. Maybe it’s not all predetermined and planned, but I believe that everything makes us better. Never regret what you learned from this.

No matter what they will always hold a special place in your heart. One day you'll be able to feel OK again. You're going to heal and feel whole again. Until that day comes, grow and love yourself.

You can handle anything.

After a breakup, everyone feels it necessary to insert their opinion. Maybe they’re upset you broke up with your partner, or perhaps they’re glad and they feel like they need to trash talk your ex. Either way, you’re catching a lot of flak from all sides.

Don't let that get you down. In the end, all we have in this world is each other.

It sucks; I know. The friends you thought you had, the people you thought would be there in your wedding are now cutting you with their eyes and ignoring you. It is OK and you can handle it. I know at the end of the day you know what is best.

To my best friend: you've got this. You are smart, beautiful, caring, and funny. Don't forget everything you aspire for while you're trying to find yourself again. Fall back in love with yourself and learn to see yourself the way everyone else sees you. I hate that your heart ever had to be broken, but while it is cracked, let me be here for you.

I am here. Always.

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?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

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.
