Ending relationships in your early 20's is nothing like the "I'm taking someone else to prom" type of heartbreak you experienced in high school. Sure you still run the risk of seeing them out at parties and in class, but what about when you live in the same building as them? Or what happens when they get with your sorority sister at a mixer?
Here are the 10 ways to successfully win at breaking up in college:
1. Girls Night In.
This includes wine, chocolate, and burning the tacky Valentine's Day gift he gave you.
2. Deleting/Blocking Him On Social Media.
I know this may seem extreme, but trust me the last thing you need is to see all his newly single pictures surrounded by drunk girls and bad decisions.
3. Give It Time.
There is no time-line that says when you are supposed to be over it. If you need a few months of watching rom coms and crying yourself to sleep, don't let anyone tell you that you're doing it wrong. Take time to get yourself back to normal.
4. Call your Mom/Sister/Best Friend From Home.
Call someone whose known you your whole life and understands you best. They will have the best advice and the best ex-bashing comments guaranteed to make you feel better.
5. Girls Night Out.
Don't stress about boys. For one night just go out with your best gal pals, get dressed up, and dance until your feet hurt.
6. Posting Happy Pics.
Let the world (and your ex) know in a not-so-subtle way that you are ready for some unattached fun!
7. Putting Yourself Out There.
I don't necessarily mean start dating again, but be open to meeting new people! Remind yourself that the world doesn't revolve around some jerk who broke your heart.
8. Read A Good Book/Start A New Show On Netflix.
Anything to distract you. Watching other people's romantic drama will seriously help you forget about yours!
9. Channel Your Emotions Into Something Positive.
This doesn't mean going to the gym everyday or becoming the head of your sorority's philanthropy. It can be as simple as cleaning out your closet or actually studying for your math exam.
10. Remember That It Is Their Loss, Not Yours.
Sure you lost someone you cared about, but they lost YOU. That was obviously the biggest mistake of their life whether they realize it now or later.
