Breakups are literally no fun, and it's easy to fall into a depressive episode if we're not careful. Through my span of s**tty breakups, I've created 15 rules to combat a bad breakup. Here's to you girls who need a little extra help:

1. Keep wearing those yoga's: comfort is key

Buy that cute Victoria's Secret sweatsuit to wear around the house JUST so you can clean up his mess. You'll look good, and feel good too.

2. Go ahead: post that corny ass song lyric on Facebook

Who cares if anyone is judging, or you get a couple angry reactions. If it makes you feel better, do it!

3. Netflix & chill...by yourself

Get a tub (yes, a TUB) of ice cream, put on those ratty pajamas, and watch cheesy chick flicks, such as Clueless or Legally Blonde.

4. Get motivated to work your ass off, like Elle Woods at Harvard

Check your bank account to see if you can afford her wardrobe. Realize you can't, and eat your heart out in rocky road ice cream.

6. Decide you want to get a tattoo with your best friend

LOVE YOU ALL WORK IN PROGRESS GIF

Realize you're too anxious to go through with it right away. Besides, it does need progressive planning, since you're scared of commitment now.

7. Start a drinking game... with yourself

Every time you are reminded of him, take a shot. You're bound to get drunker than any game of Kings Cup ever. Guaranteed.

8. Change up your hairstyle

Realize you don't want to change it because it's really cute the way it is, but you NEED change because you're constantly reminded of his hollow compliments. Then cry because you miss him.

9. Replace your "f***ing guys" playlist with "f*** guys"

GIRLS GIRL POWER GIF

Go ahead, scream Beyonce's "Run the World Girls" in the shower, regardless if your neighbors or roommates hear. LET them hear you. This is your anthem now.

10. Download tinder and message other guys, then delete it

READY LETS GO GIF

Realize that you don't have time for relationships. It's your time now. Get it, girl.

11. Be with your girls

SEX AND THE CITY FRIENDSHIP GIF

Tell your friends you hate your ex and get mad and defensive when they hate your ex too. You deserve that right. But, you need to believe your friends when they say they knew your ex was trouble, and that you deserved better. You did.

12. Go to the nearest store, and buy some wine

Become a wine connoisseur. Red wine is good for the heart, especially a broken one.

13. Start working out, because you're now all about YOU!

*Bonus* You'll lose weight, feel great, post millions of progress pictures, and he'll see what he's missing.

14. Spend time with family

More than likely, your fam spotted that crappy relationship from a mile away, and now is your chance to make up for lost times.

15. Prepare for the only battle you should be fighting for: your hopes and dreams

Do you, babe. Love yourself.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
