10 Ways To Grow After A Break-Up
7 Themes

Break ups aren't fun. A break-up, whether it was out of your control or not, is a loss. It's a loss you're going to grieve no matter how much it needed to happen. Coping and grieving with the feelings and the loss of the break-up is not easy, but by doing the healthy things with the best people by your side, you will get there.

While you can just lay down and fall into a depression to get through it, there are a lot better, healthier (and more fun) ways.

1. Girls Night!!!

I always have and always will need my friends. Go out, dance, have fun! All you can do is remember who has your back. They will definitely help you through this.

2. Talk about how you're feeling.

The best people to listen are the ones who know you best. So before or after your crazy outing, y'all gotta talk.

3. Eating your feelings is okay.

Maybe once or twice... We got better things to do.

3. Sing/scream about your feelings

The good, the bad, and the ugly — all of your feelings are okay and valid.

5. Realize you are number one.

Loving someone is great; it can be an adventure. As hard as the break up is, as much as you loved them, you HAVE to love yourself more. You are so important and a beautiful soul.

6. Remember that you slay.

It hurts right now, but I can guarantee, your self-worth will always shine through.

7. Listen to you favorite empowering music!

"Now I'm out here lookin' like revenge, feelin' like a ten, the best I've ever been.And yeah, I know how bad it must hurt to see me like this but it gets worse (wait a minute). " — The Queen herself, Demi Lovato

8. Better yourself

Practice self-care: go to the gym, take care of yourself, get enough sleep, drink water, you do you! Be the best version of you!

9. Separation from your ex is okay!

Avoid the obsessive stalking and checking up on them.

Trust me. *nervous laugh*

10. Don't feed into the drama.

No break up is going to be drama free and pretty. You and your ex's significant other know what happened. If people want to add to it, so be it.

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.

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.
