If you're reading this, you've most likely just had a romantic fall out with a boy. Maybe you both wanted different things, maybe you did something wrong or maybe he did. Whatever the reason for the ending may be, the next weeks or months will be a little rough emotionally. It's going to be hard to replace the memories of what you two had with other things. It's going to be even more difficult to romantically detach yourself from him. It won't be easy but it is totally possible to get over him

Here are some things you can do to help you get over him:

1. Surround yourself with supportive friends

This is probably the most important thing you can do during this rough time. You need people around you who are going to be there when you need to cry or rant or to take you out to distract you. Surrounding yourself with people who are both positive and support can help you more than you think.

2. Reflection

Don't be afraid to look back on the relationship you had with him. Acknowledge all the good and the bad qualities. It's totally healthy to reminisce about your relationship but don't over analyze things you might have said or did in the past thinking they led to the end.

3. Adjust to being single again

When you end things with someone, that doesn't mean you have to jump straight back into the single world again. It's going to take some adjustment getting used to not being with him anymore. Ease yourself back into it step by step.

4. Acknowledge that it is really over

It's going to seem weird that something you were so used is suddenly gone from your life, but you have to keep telling yourself that it is really over. That chapter of your life is over and it's time to start over again.

5. Don't hide away from the world; go out and live in it

Go out and experience new things. Maybe do things that he didn't like but you've always wanted to experience. Go travel. Go out to dinner with your girlfriends. Go out into the world and experience whatever you can. There is no feeling more refreshing than this.

6. Cry about it if you need to

It's okay to be sad about it. Even if it was all his fault and he was in the wrong. You've lost someone who really, truly adore and that will be difficult. You're allowed to be sad about endings.

7. Remember: This is NOT the end of your love life.

This is just the end of a chapter, not the end of the book. There are people out there wondering what it would be like to have someone like you in their life. There will be other boys, other chances to love someone. All you need is a little bit of time.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
