Some of these might be helpful, and some of them might not. Everyone has a different grieving process, and the same goes for getting over a crush. Whoever's been pulling on your heartstrings doesn't deserve any more of your time or emotional investment!

Without further ado, here are a few productive ways to get over whoever he/she/they is.

1. Listen to powerful Adele songs and cry.

I personally recommend "Water Under the Bridge," but "One and Only" is also good. Listen and be cleansed of this toxic ongoing crush. Or just be sadder. Really it's up to you.

2. Read articles about relationship horrors.

Giphy

Maybe reading about other people's romantic woes will turn you off from this oh-so-alluring person. You won't go through that sort of heartache if you just stay single!

3. Go shopping for a new outfit.

Giphy

And go all the way. Turn the dressing room into your personal catwalk. You're hot and that person does not deserve you, period.

4. Enroll in an inordinate number of classes so you're too stressed out to think about that person anymore. 

Giphy

It's classic—keep your mind otherwise engaged. The ultimate distraction is, of course, the chance of tanking your GPA.

5. Hang out with people who actually do like you.

Giphy

You know...a friend or relative. They're obligated to like you at least a little bit.

6. Binge-watch some show on Netflix.

Giphy

I'd recommend "Queer Eye" if you're in the mood for a casual watch, "American Horror Story" if you're willing to commit. This gets back to distraction—can't think about them if you're invested in this TV show.

7. Avoid your crush at all costs.

Giphy

Unfollow them on social media, even. At the end of the day, you have to prioritize you and your feelings over how they'll perceive your avoidance. If you don't see them as often, you'll probably get over them faster.

8. Don't get over the crush.

Giphy

This is a versatile option. You can either continue to pine after your crush, or (and this is the better option) you can confront them directly. Maybe you were wrong and they actually do like you. Never know til you try, right?

Whatever you decide to do, remember to prioritize self-love and self-care over anything else. If you really like this person, at least test the waters with them. If you just want to get over them, distance yourself. Your well-being trumps this crush.

Best of luck!

Why Nuclear Energy Is Vital
Digital Trends

Across the country, many people have mixed opinions about the use of nuclear energy. The oppositions have arguments ranging from waste disposal to radiation effects, when most of the claims are fueled by false or inaccurate beliefs. The fact of the matter is, nuclear energy is vital to powering our country. There are certainly some incidents that have happened in the past that have given the nuclear industry a bad name, for instance Chernobyl, Fukushima, and Three Mile Island. The NIRS has an article with their Top 11 Reasons to Oppose Nuclear Power, with six of those reasons containing connections to nuclear waste. Now, while nuclear waste has been a huge topic of discussion since 2011 when the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository site was closed due to the end of Federal funding. Finding a new way to handle the waste has become a prominent discussion within the field, but has also been mentioned to be a political problem as well.

I'm A Barbie Girl In A Barbie World

We're all still living in a Barbie world even if they now have a "curvy" doll.

I'm A Barbie Girl In A Barbie World
Its Colossal

As a '90s baby who has grown up into a world that feels the need to categorize weight into clean-cut categories, when I saw that Barbie had released a "curvy" Barbie, I was ecstatic. I called my mom to tell her not to yell at me when she saw that some of my allotted food money was going to purchase a Barbie doll... at age 20. But then I began to investigate further and realized these dolls were a little to good to be true. While Barbie is certainly on to something with varying sizes, shapes, hair color, and means of expression for young girls, we are all still living in a Barbie world.

Rays of Sunlight

No cloud can hide your light.

Most people who know me learned pretty early on that I LOVE to talk. However, one thing that a lot of people don't know is that I struggled with a speech impairment growing up. If you've ever heard a kindergartener talk, it is clear that they haven't learned how to say everything correctly yet. Most kids' speech improves as they get older, but for some, like me, talking the right way was really hard. I didn't even realize it until I began speech therapy in elementary school, but I couldn't even say words like "dog" or "cat" correctly. I also talked really fast, so that certainly didn't help anything. I never expected, though, that I would need speech therapy.

One in five people suffer from some sort of mental disease, the most common being anxiety and depression. When someone has a mental disease, that disease takes control over their mind and they are no longer the person that they really are. You become your illness.

6 Reasons To Go To Graduate School

There may be more benefits than you think

A happy graduate throws his graduation cap into the air

There can be a lot of value in a graduate school education. I experienced it firsthand at DePaul University in Chicago.

I actually had a college advisor tell me not to go to graduate school, mainly because he thought I had all the education I needed in my chosen field with my undergraduate degree. I chose to go anyway and it was one of the best decisions I ever made.
