It's all fun and games until someone falls in love.

It’s quite natural to spend time still thinking about your significant other for some time after whatever kind of relationship you have had with them ends. But if two months have passed by and then eight months, and next thing you know its been a little over a year and you start to have an anniversary for the breakup, that’s when you start to think that something is clearly wrong with you. I’m here to tell you that nothing is wrong with you and you are just being a human. People move on at their own pace. Some need a little push or help from others while some move on like it was no big deal and there is nothing wrong with that. For those still caught up about it here are some things I have dealt with:

You will feel like a complete fool after

Trust me, been there done that. I reflect back on all the times I would invest all of my time lurking him and think about how much of an idiot I was. It gets better, though. If you were like me, you would know what it was like to constantly tweet about that certain someone just to get his attention. I’m constantly contemplating about everyone who got to experience and read all of my nonsense, and now all I feel embarrassment. From quoting love songs and love quotes to sub-tweeting him — mortified to say the least.

Your friends will always bring him up

It’s inevitable. Your friends were there through it all with you. They were there to see you cry your eyes out and be a shoulder to lean on even after they have told you numerous times he was not a good idea. Naturally, after some time they will bring up the humiliating moments of “remember when you guys first went on a date” or “remember when you ignored all of your friends and only spent time with him because you were so head over heels for him” and so on.

There is always going to be that one family member that asks about him

Whether if its your mom, dad, grandma, cousin or even your little brother or sister, no matter how much time has gone by or how unpleasant things ended, they will always hit you with the “So how is _______ doing?” question. Although you might have no clue how they are actually doing, you just try to act collected and answer as if you perfectly knew how they were doing because who wants to play 21 questions with your relatives on your ex.

Although you may be over him, a lingering thought of him will always be there

Whatever times you both shared together are going to be kept in a special compartment inside of you that to you, will always be there. Especially if he was the first person you have ever felt such strong feelings for. We all know everyone’s first of anything is something no one will ever forget. Whether if you still talk to him or not, are friends with him or not, there will be a moment from time to time that the slightest thing will remind you of him. It’s just be one of those little details you will have to live with.

It's OK, you will be OK

You may think at the very moment that you will never recover or ever be the same, but that is just your dramatic side taking over. Give it some time. You will look back and laugh or maybe cringe from it. It’s a learning process, and it is all a part of this crazy beautiful life.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
