10 Empowering Songs To Help You Get Over A Breakup
Rolling Stone

Breakups are difficult for everyone, but possibly the best part of a breakup is getting over it. But that can be very difficult. Luckily, there is a whole list of songs out there made just to help you get over whoever it was that broke your heart. From nice girls telling you the rules on how to get over boys to girls screaming about how to get revenge, it is all out there, and it is all awesome. Oh, and I did make a YouTube playlist and a Spotify playlist.

1. "New Rules" - Dua Lipa

If you need a kind and pretty girl and her friends to tell you how to get over that boy, I have found the song for you.

Best Lyric: "One, don't pick up the phone/ You know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone"

2. "Woman" - Kesha

An empowering song about the fact that YOU are a woman and you don’t need a man.

Best Lyric: "Don't buy me a drink, I make my money/ Don't touch my weave, don't call me 'honey'"

3. "Shout Out To My Ex" - Little Mix

A song explaining why men aren’t always the best, but why we should thank our exes for they did--or didn’t--give us.

Best Lyric: "Shout out to my ex, you're really quite the man/ You made my heart break and that made me who I am"


4. "Send My Love To Your New Lover" - Adele

Once you actually, truly, get over someone, you can understand and relate to this song.

Best Lyric: "We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts/ We both know we ain't kids no more"


5. "We Don’t Talk Anymore" - Charlie Puth

Looking back at the way you and someone used to be can be a painful experience, but this song at least makes it something to dance to.

Best Lyric: "Should've known your love was a game/ Now I can't get you out of my brain"


6. "Bad Girls" - M.I.A.

Who needs a man, or woman, when you are a bad girl who kicks ass?

Best Lyric: “Live fast, die young, bad girls do it well.”


7. "Before He Cheats" - Carrie Underwood

People that cheat are terrible people and we don’t need ‘em.

Best Lyric: "I slashed a hole in all four tires/ Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats"


8. "100 Letters" - Halsey

A whole song about being glad that what had happened is over and being glad you didn't give them more than you did.

Best Lyric: "But I don't let him touch me anymore/ I said 'I'm not something to butter up/ And taste when you get bored'"


9. "Sorry Not Sorry" - Demi Lovato

Another song about being the baddest and not needing anyone to tell you that.

Best Lyric: "Being so bad got me feelin' so good/ Showing you up like I knew that I would"


10. "Picture To Burn" - Taylor Swift

The queen of breakup songs herself in her prime.

Best Lyric: "There's no time for tears, I'm just sitting here/ Planning my revenge"



Break ups are hard, but there is nothing better than blasting some good music and dancing around your bedroom like you just don't care! So get out there and show the world what you're made of!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
