8 Ways To Get Over Your Ex, As Told By Elle Woods

You recently got dumped, huh? Whether or not you may be thinking about filling out that law school application, Elle Woods is here to provide you with some post-breakup motivation. At times like this, she truly is the perfect girl to give you a little inspiration to get through that messy breakup. It's time to get serious . . .

1. Delete him from all social media.


This means Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Don’t you dare think about endorsing him on LinkedIn either.

2. Embrace the 3 C's: cry, cheap wine, and chocolate.

Once he's erased from your online world, you can break out the wine and chocolate. Give yourself a good cry and allow time to binge eat to sad love movies. It’s basically a ritual.

3. Call your best friends.

You know they’ll be there in a heartbeat to build you up and remind you of how flawless you are. Guys come and go, but your besties will be there to wipe your tears and let you vent about what a scumbag your ex is.

4. Exercise your heart out.

Now it’s time to get your booty to the gym. Let’s face it- you’ve probably gained a little weight from all the drunk pizza and Chinese nights with your ex-bae. Hit the weights and make him regret choosing that boring brunette over you.

5. Revamp your wardrobe.

But, don’t get too crazy. Buy a new dress and heels for that girl’s night out you’ve continuously bailed on for the past few months.

6. Get your flirt on.

Get back in the groove by hitting on every semi-acceptable guy at the bar. A little teasing never hurt anyone! Take advantage of those free drinks and shots all night long.

7. Occupy your time with a new hobby.

You could be the next Vera Wang, but you will never know if you keep wasting your time crying over some loser ex-boyfriend.

8. Turn him down when he eventually comes running back.

You were too good for him anyway, doll face!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
