It finally happened. Whether it was mutual or rough on one side or the other, you broke up. Now, as you creep into single life and try to learn how to handle this crazy aspect of life again, it is completely reasonable that your mind is all over the place. You will think of your ex, their family, and even their pets at least once. If we're being honest, it will happen a few times. When it does, it may or may not drive you crazy.

Here are 13 things you will undoubtedly think about after a breakup, no matter how bad it is.

1. I wonder how his parents reacted

Giphy

Does his mom hate me? Did his dad high-five him because he's secretly happy I'm gone? Did they scold him for letting a good girl go? I have to know.

2. How soon after this will he get into another relationship?

Giphy

Should I even be concerned about that? It's not my business anymore. But what if someone tells me?

3. I hope the dog is OK

Giphy

I think I loved the dog more than him anyway...

4. Will the dog know I'm gone and miss me?

Giphy

I'm so sorry, fur baby. No one meant to hurt you.

5. I hope his mom hates the new girl

Giphy

I was so perfect. She was practically considering me her daughter already. I'd like to see the new girl achieve that.

6. I'd like to see him do better than me

Giphy

He can't. He won't.

7. No one else will put up with his annoying quirks, right?

Giphy

The snoring, the too-loud laughter, the overuse of the word "like"... ugh.

8. I really miss those quirks

Giphy

They were annoying, but sometimes they were so cute.

9. I hope his friends miss me

Giphy

I fit right into the group. They have to wonder where I went.

10. If he texts me I'm not answering

Giphy

Unless it's to tell me that his mom misses me. Then maybe.

11. Should I text him?

Giphy

No... I can't. Can I?

12. I'm so much better off without him

Giphy

Who needs boys, anyway? I can handle being single. I'll be fine.

13. I miss him

Giphy

How can I miss him after all of that? Seriously? Seriously?! This cannot be happening.

Breakups are hard, but conflicting thoughts are harder.

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.
