The phrase "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is actually true.

Although you are not dead, or even really close to being dead, you are still mentally dead. You just lost your lover of a couple months/years and it sucks. But the months/weeks it takes you to get over him/her will be how you grow stronger. By the end of the heart break, you will be 100% happier and stronger.

You are still loved.

Something you forget is how much you are still loved. You will always be loved, sometimes you just cant see it. But family and friends will be your key to this breakup and you know they will help you and build you up.

You will pick up new hobbies.

You will find so many new hobbies and you will be so much happier. So go out and be happier, show the world what you're amazing at!

The breakup is better than later.

"The sooner the better" is actually very true. You learn to love that it happened at the time it did. Because if it happened in a shorter time you would've just fallen in love with that person and it would've hurt way more.

You learn to think more postive and you become a better person.

The first couple weeks are really hard. But after those weeks you see all of the positive. As well as be more healthy because change is amazing!

You learn to love the little things more.

Staying out with friends and laughing so hard you cry is amazing. But trust me, it is 10 times better while you are heartbroken. You get to see the better part of life, such as how clouds look like Obama or how bees are way too adorable.

You get closer with people and God.

While this breakup is basically you just losing someone who you were super close to, you learn to get closer to people you usually didn't talk to. If you are a religious person, you learn to pray more and get closer to God.

No more worrying.

While half of your relationship was you worrying about what your other half might be doing, or if they were with some other person, it all stops when you guys breakup (or a couple weeks later). Next time you'll have more trust in your other half!

As much as breakups suck, there are so many positive outcomes if you decide to see it. You will always learn to get over it.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
