8 Tips To Help Sew That Heart Back Together
Cooper Smith

It's no secret that most of the time when people enter into relationships, it will end. Either it ends in a few months or after a few years but some of us get lucky and find our person young and the rest of us end up heartbroken again and again while searching for the one. It can be an exhausting and overwhelming experience but these are some of the best tips and lessons that I have learned when trying to get over heartbreak.

Tip #1: Leave them alone

Even if you want to just check in on them, chances are they just want some space so give it to them and then maybe try talking in a couple of weeks.

Tip #2: Delete, Mute, or Block

Depending on how the breakup went, you may need to remove them from social media. If it's as simple as unfollowing then do that but some of us should really consider blocking our exes-at least for a little while. For my twitter fam, if you don't want to block or unfollow them just mute them for a couple weeks if you need too.

Tip #3: Spend time with your friends

I know the first thing I wanted to do after my break-up was spend some quality time with my girls to forget about all the madness. Of course the topic came up but it was short lived and they made me feel a lot better!

Tip #4: Alone Time

Spending time with your friends and family is just as important as alone time during this transition. If your significant other was in your life for 5 years or even 5 months, you have to get used to going back to life without them which might seem weird to say but it's true. Spend some quality time with yourself doing what you love and reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason.

Tip #5: No Rebounds

Many people suffer from the rebound disease. As soon as they break up with someone, they have someone else in a week. Take it slow. Make sure you are comfortable on your own again before adding another person in the mix. Take your time with your next relationship and don't rush into things just because you are lonely.

Tip #6: Pros and Cons

Remember why you broke up. Chances are the cons outweighed the pros. Think about the things you could've done better and work on them for your future relationship. Remind yourself of the things maybe you didn't enjoy as much from your significant other and keep that in the back of your mind when trying to date again.

Tip #7: Be Mature

This one is the most important. Regardless of the circumstances (even if they cheated), it's no use bashing them on social media and saying negative things every chance you get. Is it wrong to cheat? Absolutely, but doing all of that doesn't really help you feel better.

Tip #8: One day at a time

It won't happen overnight or even in the next couple of weeks so just take it a day at a time. Keep moving forward and stay positive.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
