4  Songs to Avoid Right After A Break Up
Huffington Post

We all know the drill for break ups: Sob, eat ice cream, sad songs, sob, take an unnecessary walk down memory lane, eat more ice cream, ugly cry, repeat. Simple, right? However, there is a certain art to this break up stuff. There are certain things that you just shouldn't do. Not to mention certain songs that you just shouldn't listen to -- and here are few.

1. "Nothing Compares 2 U" - Sinead O'Connor

Originally written, composed, and performed by Prince, this song is just going to rip you apart.

"It's been so lonely without u here

Like a bird without a song

Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling

Tell me baby where did I go wrong?"

2. "I Will Always Love You" - Whitney Houston

Originally written and recorded by Dolly Parton, this is song is heart shattering. Sure, there are some lines that might make for a healthy partying, but when you get to the climax of the song… God, help your grieving soul.

"If I should stay

I would only be in your way

So I'll go but I know

I'll think of you every step of the way..."

3. "In Love With Another Man" - Jazmine Sullivan

This may be one of the lesser known songs on the list, however if you're break up is due to infidelity and you want to feel like crap and cry your heart out, it'll totally get the job done! It's the biggest, "it's not you, it's me" and it's so not going to help you feel better about your breakup.

"You treat me so much better than him

And if I was sane there'd be no competition

But, but I'm in love with someone else

And I'm so sorry hey

I'm in love with another man

And I know it ain't right..."

4. "Careless Whisper" - George Michael

You probably know this as "I'm never gonna dance again," because like remembering titles are really hard and stuff. But whatever you call it, it's the perfect thing to make you do a Kim K. ugly cry.

"We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say.

We could have been so good together.

We could have lived this dance forever.

But now who's gonna dance with me?

Please stay..."

All are awesome songs, except for when you're grieving the death of a relationship. Don't believe me? Well, remember, I warned you...

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
