A Song For Every Single Stage Of Your Breakup

Breakups. They’re an inevitable part of life, and if you haven’t gone through one yet, consider yourself lucky. Though it’s true that time heals all wounds, there’s still some hope out there for all of you experiencing the pains of getting over someone right now. Luckily for us, music makes everything better. I mean, thank God there's a song for literally every emotion, am I right? The list below is sectioned off based on what I consider the three major breakup stages: Grief, Anger, and Acceptance. And really, no matter which part (if any) you're in, these are just good songs to listen to when you're feeling especially moody, sassy, or single. (Caution: the anger section is a little, well, angry. I apologize in advance for all F-bombs).

1. Grief - Those two weeks when you won't do anything except cry, eat, and drink.

“Behind These Hazel Eyes” by Kelly Clarkson

Here I am, once again

I'm torn into pieces

Can't deny it, can't pretend

Just thought you were the one






“Habits” by Tove Lo

Spend my days locked in a haze

Trying to forget you babe

I fall back down

Gotta stay high all my life

To forget I'm missing you





“Hold Up” by Beyonce

Can't you see there's no other man above you?

What a wicked way to treat the girl that loves you








“i hate u i love u” by Gnash feat. Olivia O'Brien

I miss you when I can't sleep

Or right after coffee

Or right when I can't eat

I miss you in my front seat

Still got sand in my sweaters

From nights we don't remember

Do you miss me like I miss you?



2. Anger - When you remember how fabulous you are, and how dare they?

“I Don’t F*** With You” by Big Sean

I got a million trillion things I’d rather f****** do

Than to f*** with you







“F U” by Miley Cyrus

I got a lot of nasty things flowing up in my head

But none of them are worth my time

You're not even worth this rhyme

And I don't, I don't give a flying







“Mama’s Broken Heart” by Miranda Lambert

I cut my bangs with some rusty kitchen scissors

I screamed his name ‘til the neighbors called the cops

I numbed the pain at the expense of my liver

Don’t know what I did next, all I know I couldn’t stop







“Sorry” by Beyonce

Middle fingers up

Put them hands high

Wave it in his face

Tell 'em boy bye






“Bad Blood” by Taylor Swift


Did you think we'd be fine? Still got scars on my back from your knife

So don't think it's in the past, these kinda wounds they last and they last.

Now did you think it all through? All these things will catch up to you

And time can heal but this won't, so if you're coming my way, just don't





3. Acceptance - When you just really don't want to waste your time on them anymore.

“Jar of Hearts” by Christina Perri

You're gonna catch a cold

From the ice inside your soul

So don't come back for me

Who do you think you are?







“It Don’t Hurt Like it Used To” by Billy Currington

Hey, hey, what can I say?

I can just lie and say it's all okay

Oh-ho, what can I do?

Been goin' through Hell gettin' over you

But it don't hurt, it don't hurt like it used to






Somewhere on a Beach” by Dierks Bentley

I'm somewhere on a beach

Sipping something strong

Got a new girl, she got it going on








"Gives You Hell" by The All-American Rejects


Tomorrow you'll be thinking to yourself

Where'd it all go wrong?

But the list goes on and on


And truth be told I miss you

And truth be told I'm lying



“Send My Love to Your New Lover” by Adele


Send my love to your new lover

Treat her better

We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts

We both know we ain't kids no more

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.

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.
