How I Get Through Breakups

I don't mean to move on quickly, it's just how I am. My way of looking at things is, it happened for a reason but move on and get over it. For me, there is no point to dwell on something that wasn't meant to be in the first place.

If it was meant to be, it wouldn't have ended.

If he wanted to truly be with you, he would've tried harder.

Don't waste your time crying to T-swizzle songs and eating ice cream in bed all day. Let me tell you, you're going to feel worse about yourself later when you step on a scale and realize you gained weight. Don't play yourself.

Get up. Wipe off those unnecessary tears. Go to the pool. Go to the gym. Shower. Visit your friends who love you. Surround yourself with the people who got your back. Make new friends. Go out and explore. Dance. Sing. Laugh. Smile. Love.

Just because this chapter is over doesn't mean your life is over. Your life is just beginning.

Also, do not look at things as a competition for who can get over who faster or who can find someone else faster. It is NOT a competition.

You know what? Don't even bother watching his story, looking at his social media, etc. Make him dead to you. Delete him, block him, I don't care what you do- just delete him from your life.

He's toxic and isn't even worth a second of your time.

Your life is precious, treat it that way.

Only give your time and energy to people that will do the same to you. There is no reason to worry about things you can't change, worry about the things you can change.

Keep loving. Love yourself, your family, friends, pets, etc. Continue loving and learning to love others. Just because he didn't love you the way he should've doesn't mean that you're un-loveable. Someone will one day love you but it just might not be the time yet. That's okay.

Learn to be okay being alone. There is nothing wrong with being single. You're young and have the rest of your life to live.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
