So your heart’s been broken. Shattered into a million and two pieces. Ripped apart to shreds and stomped on in the dirt. We’ve all been there, we all know what it’s like to feel rejected, sad, angry, confused and lost all at the exact same time. We all know that horrible feeling in your chest; as if someone is filling your lungs up with water and punching a hole right where your heart is while spinning you in circles faster than any roller coaster. When you experience a broken heart, it literally physically and emotionally hurts. It’s easy to just sit in your bed, eating ice cream while crying but that’s not the best way to cope. Yes, only time can heal a wound but until then, channel all those emotions that you’re feeling into a few of these ideas:

Channel your anger into a 🔥🔥🔥workout

Take a leaf out of the Khloe Kardashian’s book and get a #RevengeBody. Also from a firsthand experience, the most productive workouts are when you are angry or sad. Exercise is shown to boost your mood and release stress. Blood, sweat and tears, honey.

Post a hot selfie

And girl, post that ish EVERYWHERE. Every single social media platform you’re on... Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, if you’re on it and the person who caused your heartbreak is on it, you should most definitely post it. Use a flirty caption or something funny that shows that you’re better off without them. Because you are.

Block, delete, repeat

It’s gonna be hard but honey, delete and block that person on everything. Throw out the love letters and trash the photos. Don’t wanna throw away the gifts? Either put them away in storage for a very, very long time or donate them. Getting over a heartbreak will move much faster if there isn’t even a single trace of them.

Buy some new clothes

When you get your heart broken, you just want to sit in your sweats and cry. Everyone knows that new clothes make you feel good, happier and more confident. So go out to your favorite store and treat yo self. Get a whole new outfit that will make you feel wonderful inside and out! Heck, get a haircut while you’re at it! It’s actually been proven that making small changes such as getting a new ‘do will help you cope with a heartbreak.

Give yourself a mourning deadline

Of course, you’re going to mourn your relationship... you’d be crazy and heartless if you didn’t! But don’t overdo it. If you do, you’ll never heal. Give yourself a mourning period and a deadline for when you must stop crying put on your big girl panties and move on with your life. During your mourning period, just get it all out...cry, scream, throw tantrums and eat all the ice cream you can. But once the deadline is over, you must get back out there and try your absolute best not to cry or think about your dead relationship. The sooner you stop crying, the faster you’ll be happier.

Heartbreaks suck. But don’t you ever forget your self-worth and that you deserve the absolute best and that this person is just a stepping stone to your success and ultimate happiness! You got this!

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
