Below are ten Mariah Carey songs to help get you through that post-breakup heartbreak.

1. We Belong Together

When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby please cause we belong together


At the end of every breakup, no matter if it ended on good or bad terms, you'll feel the desire to return to your ex and try to work things out. This is one everyone knows, and these lyrics could not relate more. Really, I could put the entire song...

2. Don't Forget About Us

Late nights, playin' in the dark
And wakin' up inside my arms
Boy, you'll always be in my heart andI can see it in your eyes
You still want it
So don't forget about us
When it's for real, it's forever
So don't forget about us.



Still, you cant shake them off. You don't want them to forget about the good memories y'all had together.

3. I Don't Wanna Cry

Nothing in the world
Could take us back
To where we used to be
Though I've given you my heart and soul (Given you my heart and soul)
I must find a way of letting go
'Cause baby, I don't want to cry

Now you're finally starting to realize that the ship has sailed.

4. The Art of Letting Go

Evidently your words were merely lies
Reverberating in my ears
And the echo won’t subside
There’s deep deep loss of hope
And the anger burns in me
I hope you don’t get no ideas ’bout re-uniting baby
‘cause that’s the last thing I truly need

Letting go ain’t easy
Oh, it’s just exceedingly hurtful
‘cause somebody you used to know
It’s flinging your world around
And they watch, as you’re falling down, down, down

The song's title speaks for itself. Letting go is truly one of the hardest things to do...

5. You Don't Know What To Do

You need to go
Don't look so surprise
'Cause we had love
That will be immortalized
Say you need me now
So alone without me now
But our little romance is through
Because basically boy, you
You just don't know what to do oh

You think you're finally starting to get over your ex then BOOM, they try to come back into your life! But oh boy, little do they know that it's too late...

6. Shake It Off

'Cause the loving ain't the same
And you keep on playing games
Like you know I'm here to stay

Gotta make that move
Find somebody who
Appreciates all the love I give
Boy I gotta shake it off
Gotta do what's best for me
Baby and that means I gotta
Shake you off

It feels like a ton of weight has been lifted off of your shoulders. YES, finally!

7. I Wish You Well

I know you've been there for me plenty
Maybe still got love for me
But let him without sin cast the first stone brethren
But who remains standing then
Not you not I see Philippians 4:9
(Put it into practice)

Do good to those who curse you
Pray for those who mistreat you

I wish you well


They may have bruised and misused you, but that's okay! You wish them best of luck in the future.

8. It's a Wrap

Put all of your shit in the elevator
It's going down like a denominator
Trying to keep holding on, holding on
Boy, let me go
You gonna wake my neighbors, get away from my door
That was your last shot, you ain't coming back
It's the Martini I mean it baby
it's wrap

It's official, you're done with them. They can get their shit and get out.

9. Someday

Maybe now you just can't conceive
That there will ever come a time when you're cold and lonely
Baby, how could you ever believe
That another could replace me, the one and only
But when your down in your time of need
And you're thinking that you might be coming back to own me
Just think again 'cause
I won't need your love anymore!

Someday ooh someday
The one you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for
Someday hey hey
Boy you're gonna pay 'cause baby I'm the one who's keeping score

You're finally done with them and you know that'll regret that the mistreated you. However, once they figure it out, it'll be too late! HAHA, shame on them.

10. It's Like That

'Cause it's my night
No stress, no fights
I'm leavin' it all behind
No tears, no time to cry
Just makin' the most of life
Everybody is livin' it up
All the fellas keep lookin' at us ('Cause)
Me and my girls on the floor like what
While the DJ keeps on spinnin' the cut
It's like that y'all (That y'all), that y'all (That y'all)

d

You're now officially moved on to greater things! You've found someone who treats you like the King/Queen you are. Life could not be better. You're living your best life.

11. The One

Finally found somebody
That could be the one
But I promised myself
That I wouldn't give in to love
And I'm scared
And I'm nervous
Don't want to be hurt anymore
This is bad
Cause I know that you're the one


You've finally moved on and found someone! But you're nervous and don't want to get hurt again. but you eventually realize that you're ready to take the risk. I'll just let the lyrics do the talking...

Be like Mariah and be fabulous, DAHHHLING!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

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.
