2. If you can get over someone, do it. 

Don’t go all John Green “it hurts because it mattered” if you are quick to get over someone. Don’t deliberately dramatize your life, don’t think up inner dialogues such as “everything is different with him” or whatever. 

Don’t think about someone just because you have no one else to think about at this point in your life. It is a sure way to create feelings you don’t actually have and make heartbreak last much longer than it has to.

3. Make new friends. 

Like someone cool? Call them, friend them, invite them, spend time with them. Or at least try. Deliberately choose the people you want to hang out with at this point in your life. Always seek out new cool persons and if you like them, follow up and maintain the friendship.

4. Don’t say forever or not forever.

Take it day by day. If at this point, you’re doing exactly what you want, why think about anything else? If at another point in time you find that you’re not doing what you want, you’ll have good memories and can easily (or not so) leave. Then is then and this is now. Speaking of memories, 

5. It’s cool to say you regret nothing, but if you actually don’t have any regrets, you’re living too much on the safe side. 

Mix it up and shake it out. Do it for the stories. But then again…

6. If you are 100% sure no good will come of it, DON’T do it for the story. 

If you are debating, though, always go for it. 

7. You’ll know if he/she likes you. Promise. 

No signs or metaphors or symbolism needed. Just interest in what you have to say, and that look in their eyes (you know that look). Oh, and actions. Trust me, you’ll know.

8. If a book/movie bores you, send it to hell.

I don’t care if it’s a classic, popular, or whatever. Obviously, do the reading for class. But don’t waste your free time on things you don’t like. Same goes for people.
