6 Foolproof Ways To Get Over A Break-Up

1. Music

The key is to listen to music that bashes your ex…not the kind that makes you cry about them and makes you apologize to them for something they did.

2. Travel

Go somewhere new, someplace you’ve always wanted to go before but for some reason, you held yourself back from it.

3. Netflix

If you don’t sit on your couch with triple chocolate gelato and watch a chick flick….or 20, did you even go through a breakup?

Basically, any movie that makes you realize that the world isn’t completely ending is perfect for this

4. Go on Random Dates

Hang out with people that you normally wouldn’t, try to surprise yourself with the types of people you could date that are totally different than the one that is now in the past. Plus new memories always make the old ones fade just a tad.

5. Be with Friends

Especially the ones that told you he was no good from the start. You will get a few ‘I told you sos’ but in the end, all that your friends really want is to be happy.

6. Focus on YOU

Instead of laying in bed feeling sad for yourself for the 4th week in a row do something that will make you happy in the end go but that dress you have wanted to buy forever, put forth the effort to help make a dream come true… in the wise words of Tom Haverford and Donna Meagle from Parks and Recreation “TREAT YO SELF”

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
