Ariana Grande's "thank u, next" will never get old because the meaning of the phrase can resonate with everyone and we all have someone or something we've been needing to say "thank u, next" to.

As we've all heard by now, "thank u, next" tells the story of many of the breakups Ari's gone through, the hardships she's overcome and the strength she has now. Whether it's an ex, a friend a habit you've tried so hard to quick "thank u, next" reminds us that we are allowed to grow, change and move on without any hard feelings.

Having resentment towards someone who was once so important to you only leaves you hurting more. A breakup of any kind is hard but remember that you are stronger than the worst pain and you owe it to yourself to walk away.

Acknowledging that you had great times and forgiving yourself for what went wrong is so crucial in moving on. Not all things in life whether relationships or friendships are meant to last forever, heck Ari thought she was going to marry Pete Davidson (can you imagine).

If she did marry Pete, the world would never have been blessed by the "thank u, next" album and Ari wouldn't have realized how badly she needed time to herself.

If there's someone or something in your life you'd be better off without, sing along with Ari and say "thank u, next" no matter how hard it may be. Be thankful for all that you've gained, for you wouldn't be who you are today without everything you've gone through, but also say goodbye.

It's OK to look back and think of all the good times, but know you're headed in a better direction now that you've said "thank u, next."

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.

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.
