Late Tuesday night, Selena Gomez entered a whole new era in her music career. "Lose You to Love Me" has already taken over the music world and it's only been 12 hours.

The song gives listeners an inside look at how Gomez has been feeling regarding prior relations. Most people make the assumption this is about her former ex, Justin Bieber. Regardless of who the song was inspired by, we all need to take a listen.

"Lose You to Love Me" explains the battle wounds one goes through in a toxic relationship. We can see in many of her lyrics how self-destroying and draining her relationship truly was.

"You promised the world,
And I fell for it.
I put you first and you adored it.
Set fires to my forest,
And you let it burn."

Time and time again, we see these girls and guys with bright eyes and big dreams get crushed by cruel and toxic partners. We enter these relationships ready to share our dreams and grow together only to be awoken by the harsh reality of an abusive relationship.

Gomez touches on the song in an interview with Vevo. "This song was inspired by many things that have happened in my life since releasing my last album," she said. "I want people to feel hope and to know you will come out the other side stronger and a better version of yourself."

The song can help those who have suffered from draining and self-depleting relationships realize that things do get better and this feeling won't last forever. The hardest part of these relationships can be admitting to yourself that the best thing for you to do is to leave.

Often times when we find ourselves stuck in a relationship that is hurting us more than helping us, we make up excuses and blame ourselves. We wait and wait for something to happen to make us leave when sometimes the only thing we need to hear is a song like this to bring us back to reality.

Selena Gomez really hit home with this song. If you haven't heard it yet, definitely take a listen. Even if you aren't experiencing a situation similar to the one outlined in her song, this song has something to say about self-love and putting ourselves first. You never need someone else to love yourself; it starts with you.

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.

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.
