5 Stages of Breaking Up: As Told By the Little Rascals

Stage 1: Sadness

You may or may not be dying from a broken heart, and you’re pretty convinced that your eyes are gonna fall out from crying so much. So where exactly is the nearest doctor?

Of course you’re sad. You feel like you’ve lost your best friend or your soul mate. You’re crushed that you gave so much time and love to someone who’s gone now, and you feel like your whole world is ending.

Stage 2: Anger


Eventually, your sadness starts to disappear and is replaced with anger. You realize that you’ve been led on or lied to or wronged, and you’re not happy. How dare they hurt you like that?

You start to get more and more angry with your ex, and tell yourself (and many, many others) just how much you hate their stinking guts. You never want to see them again, and burn all of your pictures.

Stage 3: Questioning the Entire Gender

Ugh, I mean, seriously, are they all like that?? You’re convinced at this point that there’s no hope for getting in another relationship, because all boys (or girls) are too crazy. What’s stopping them from doing the same thing as your ex?

So then you just decide to swear off boys/girls for good and hate the entire gender for the rest of your life. Problem solved.

Stage 4: Self-Confidence

It may take awhile, but eventually you’ll reach the stage where you find your self-confidence again. You realize that the break up was not your fault, because you’re flawless and perfect and your ex is the one who screwed up.

You’re not sad about the break up anymore, because you realize that you didn’t lose anything by losing them…. It was 100 percent their loss.

Stage 5: Moving On

This stage takes the longest to get to, but you will get there. You’ll get your game back and start finding some pretty cute, new replacements. Maybe you won’t get into another relationship for awhile, but you feel ok about flirting with some new cuties.

And when you finally do get into a new relationship, you’ll have some reserves. You might be scared that they’ll break your heart like the last one did, but you’re ready to move on and try again.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
