The 10 Movies That Describe Your Breakup
Olivia Bello

1. Sweet Home Alabama

"So I can kiss you any time I want!" This movie describes the sweetest but probably the most heartbreaking of all relationships. Maybe they were your high school or college sweetheart, and the two of you planned to get married and spend forever together. Fingers crossed on this one though because as we know Melanie and Jake did end up together in the end after years of being apart. If this is you then don't worry, you will move on, and maybe someday it will all work out for the two of you, but if not then you will still be the best you can.

2. You've Got Mail

This is what I'd like to consider the original Tinder relationship. Boy meets girl, they spend tons of time emailing back and forth. Maybe it will workout or maybe it won't, but either way you have no clue what is on the other side of that keyboard (or in today's case that touch screen). So if you just got ghosted by what you thought was your Tinderella, keep your head up kid, it will get better.

3. The Ugly Truth

So, you found out that you were dating a guy who really only cared about how you looked and how far you were willing to go...well that's just the ugly truth. Some relationships are really just that shallow. Sure it will hurt you at first, but I'm sure in the end you will be very thankful that you did not fall in love, or dare I say marry that person.

4. Dirty Dancing

So, your family hates your boyfriend and you had to sneak around to see him? This type of break up is the hardest because it was neither party's actual fault. Maybe both of you did have some real feelings invested, but you were forced to call it quits. Well lucky for you, hopefully one night, when you're at dinner with your family sitting in the corner, your man will come and make the big gesture and you two will find love again.

5. The Longest Ride

You two come from two very different up worlds. He may be a bull rider and you a city girl obsessed with art...or something like that. Either way, it seems like the two of you could never be together because it's too hard to find something you have in common. So you broke up, but trust me you still miss each other, and if it means enough to you, you will find a way to mesh your lifestyles in order to make it work.

6. Peter Pan

You were dating a man-child or a "Peter Pan" as some might say. He was stuck thinking that he would be a child forever and able to live a carefree (read: bill free, job free, free-loader) type of life. However, you just finished school and are ready to start your big girl job. Chances are if he wasn't willing to make the change to stay with you, you are better off. It's never okay to feel like someone is holding you back, and you should be with someone who wants to grow up and mature together.

7. 500 Days of Summer

This break up is hard. You two had the kind of relationship that is full of amazing memories and firsts together. Maybe this was the guy you dated in college, who took you to fun concerts, festivals and to exotic restaurants. There was never any real commitment there in one person's mind, so when it ended you were left with endless memories surrounding that one person. Sorry, but don't worry you will find someone else to make memories with. I promise!

8. The Break Up

Honestly this kind of breakup is the messiest of all. You two were basically married. Maybe you lived together, had all of the same friends, shared a bank account and maybe even had a fur baby. Breaking up for the two of you is almost as bad as a divorce. You're forced to separate everything and even your friends feel like they need to choose sides.

9. Legally Blonde

Don't worry this one ends great for the girl! He thought he knew you and thought you were somehow less than what you are, but you proved him very wrong. You showed your kick-ass girl power and got into Harvard Law School (or something similar). Now he's the one sitting on the sideline wishing he was good enough for you. You go girl!

10. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Finally there is the most terrible break up of all. So bad that you literally would go to any length to forget that you even met that person. In this movie they turn to a brainwashing machine, but maybe you'll settle for burning everything that reminds you of them and getting blackout drunk with your friends (either way same result right?) This one might be the relationship that takes you just as long to get over as the actual time you were together in the first place.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
