Why All Girls Can PERSONALLY Relate To "thank u, next"

What we can learn from love.

So other than Ari's new song being a bop, it's also the anthem for life post-breakup.

Whether you're the one who broke it off or the one healing your broken heart, Grande's new single is here to shed light on everything love teaches us.

"One taught me love. One taught me patience. One taught me pain."

Girl, same.

Yes, thinking about your exes may strike a cord and make you momentarily mad. But there are good things in even the worst of situations.

A relationship teaches you to love someone other than yourself. You become more generous because you're physically giving a part of yourself to someone else. The feeling of falling in love is enough to make you smile.
The honeymoon stage of it all-anxiously waiting for your phone to vibrate just to talk about your day, grinning like the Grinch when they pop up in your mind, the feeling of being secure and needed.
That's what your first love teaches you about yourself. That you're capable of letting your guard down and letting someone into the deepest parts of you that you didn't even know existed before that person.
Don't get sad because you're reading this and most likely not with some guy you loved in high school. You're reminded of this feeling when you lust over someone new. Trust me, girls. Just because you tweet, #foreveralone, does NOT mean you will be alone forever.

Love gets more turbulent as you get older. Things become more complicated and life gets harder to navigate when you're finding yourself while you're simultaneously giving your all to keep your relationship together.

Relationships in your early adult years teach you patience! (Preach Ari)

As you get older you learn to pick your battles because, after a while, you realize that the other person is just too stubborn so there's really no point. Trust me, you're still mad, sad and overall just hyper-emotional. Playing a sort of a waiting game when all you want to do is talk to that ONE person will show you more patience than you thought possible.

Longterm relationships can be the hardest to end because of everything that you've put into it. Which brings me into Ariana's last line, "one taught me pain."

There is no word equivalent to express the pain of heartbreak.
It's not something that can be easily generalized because it's different for every person. The only common denominator is that you feel hurt, lost, lonely, and it is painful.

Take your time!

Rebuild yourself.

And when you get yourself back, there is no better confidence than looking in the mirror and recognizing yourself again.

Everything that we learn from love makes us a better human as a whole. Love makes us sweet and compassionate. Patience makes us mature. Pain makes you a f*cking WARRIOR!

I think we can ALL learn a lesson or two from Ariana Grande and remember that the most important relationship is the one with yourself.

So love yourself, be confident, let your emotions out, and learn from your past because now you know what you DESERVE in the future.

Thank u, next.

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.
