When It's Okay To Give Your Heart A Break

We love to love and love to be loved. It's in our nature as people. But sometimes, it's okay to give your heart a break; your heart NEEDS a break.

Let the past be in the past. Let it go. Move on. It may seem hard or even impossible, but if you've spent days, weeks, or even months without that one person who you thought you couldn't do without, guess what? You can go a whole lifetime without them.

Forget about those that broke your heart. LET THEM GO! They're really not worth another chance because if it didn't work the first hundreds of chances, what makes you think it will work this time? Don't text them during the holidays. Don't text them when it's their birthday. Don't try to make things work with someone who doesn't try even just half as much. They might have been your better half at one point, but it's okay to let go. If it's meant to be, you might find your way back to each other. But don't rely on that, because you probably won't. For now, it's better for you, to simply let go.

It will hurt, but you have to LET YOUR HEART MEND. It'll take time, but that's all you really need; a break with time.

Go out, have fun, go on adventures, travel, read a book...find what makes YOU happy, and do what makes you happy.

The whole point of life is to find yourself before becoming a whole with another person. Become a whole by yourself first.

Spend time with family and friends and just have fun. Love is not something that can be rushed. Don't look for it, don't not look for it either. LET IT BE. It will find you when the time is right.

Let your heart forget them with time, because that's the best way of healing and mending your heart. In the meantime, FIND YOURSELF.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

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?
