Your Breakup Survial Guide

Cry.

Realize you are going to cry and thats okay. Cry whenever you want, wherever you want, no one will judge you everyone has been there.

Listen to that break up song as many times as you want.

My playlist consists of "We Don't Talk Anymore", "I will Survive" and "Sorry" because I like to feel sad and strong.

Don't let anyone force you to do something you are not ready for.

If you are not ready to date don't. Don't push yourself, thats okay, there is no time limit on moving on.

But don't become a hermit

Sitting home alone for weeks is not going to help, stay home a night or two but let yourself go out get dressed let your friends make you smile.

But remember you won't find closure at the bottom of that tequila bottle.

Take it from me, getting so drunk you give yourself a concussion will not make you feel better.

Realize it might not be possible to be friends with your ex.

You are probably losing if not one of your best friends. You will miss them, but talking to them everyday won't help you at all. You will never move on if you don't let them go

Do something for yourself

Get your nails done, cut your hair, spend may to much on a pair of shoes, hell get yourself a matching bag because you deserve nice thing, and you are an independent woman who doesn't need a man to take care of her

Surround yourself with your best friends.

They get it, they know how bad it hurts, and they love you so let them heel you.

Be angry.

Break something, take kickboxing, scream at the top of my lungs, you'll thank me later.

Don't go backwards.

DO NOT HAVE SEX WITH YOUR EX NO ONE WILL FEEL GOOD, YOU WILL CRY AND IT WILL BE THAT MUCH HARDER TO MOVE ON.

Memories Suck.

For some reason all you can remember is the good times. There is a reason you broke up think about those reasons, don't think about that one time when everything was perfect because thats not the truth.

Love yourself.

Because you are so worth it.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
