To The Girl Who Wasted Her Time On Someone Who Broke Her Heart, You're One Step Closer To Happily Ever After

ABC

I've been there many times... in fact, I am there currently. Talked to this boy for a few months, you met his family, he meets your family, spent all of your free time together, went on dates and did basically everything a couple would do, but then one day he sends you that one text that we are all dreading when we're dating or talking to someone, the "I can't do this anymore, I'm sorry" text.

Now that hurts. You spent so much time with him, and opened up to him, heck you might have even said you loved him.

I know what's going through your head and you feel there isn't enough Ben & Jerry's and Nicholas Sparks movies in the world to help. It will get better though. For starters: GIRL, if he couldn't call you or tell you to your face that he wasn't interested anymore, LET THAT MAN GO!!!!

All in all, you just need to remember this is not your fault. He is clearly not the one for you and that is OK. Surround yourself with friends and family who help boost your spirits. Eat that fifth container of ice cream, and watch "The Last Song" or "The Notebook" for your third time today. Go shopping for some needed retail therapy. Stay in those same 6-year-old sweatpants for half a week. Cope the way you need to cope, but don't try to call him or text him. Try to forget he even exists.

I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but your time wasn't wasted.

This experience will teach you some very valuable life lessons and those will bring you to a lifetime of happiness one day. You're one step closer to finding your happily ever after, and I think that is a pretty good thing.

Hang in there. It'll get better.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
