Now, this one is for the men out there. Some of you act very odd after a break-up and guess what? Us girls can pick up on it and you look pathetic most of the time, but hey girls, we can do the same thing. Here are some rules I've made for myself to help me with past break-up's that could potentially help one of you!

1. Do delete their number, no matter how hard it is.

Get rid of it, do a spring cleaning of your phone (even if it's not spring yet).

2. Don't try and make them jealous.

It will turn into a huge fight and you won't be happy you hurt them again.

3. Don't break up with them over text.

Don't hit the lowest of lows.

3. Do unfollow on EVERYTHING.

If you keep checking on their socials, heads up, you still want them. Don't block though because then you look petty.

4. Don't stalk their new girlfriends/boyfriends Instagrams or Twitters.

You'll only hurt more than you did before.

5. Don't talk to them, or even text them.

Yup, you heard me.

6. Don't even send that "I miss you." text.

You'll look very stupid.

7. Do remove everything about them from your life immediately.

Waiting only makes it harder.

8. And, don't even try to do the "let's be friends" thing.

It get's really complicated.

9. Do have at least one friend follow them on their social media's.

Because everyone does get nosy, it's better if your friends follow them because then you aren't checking up on them everytime they pop into your mind.

10. Don't subtweet.

Just don't, it's stupid.

11. Don't put yourself down.

Remember your self-worth. That's the most important part.

12. Do take some time for yourself.

This doesn't mean skip school to lay in bed and cry, but spoil yourself. Buy yourself nice and new or even go for a haircut or get your nails done. YOU time is very helpful during the healing process.

13. Don't stop going to social events.

If you know they're going to be there, still, go. Don't hide away, show them that you moved on and you are happy with where you stand (even if it's hard).

14. Do spend time with family and friends.

They will be there by your side to help you heal.

Good luck, not that you'll need it but just because I liked to hear it too.

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.
