This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Nottingham chapter.

Hey Collegiettes!

If you’ve broken up with your boyfriend for uni and you’re feeling a little low then this is for you. Buck up – Notts is full of guys!

1) Dress to impress

 

2) Be a good person by volunteering, running a marathon or just helping out at an open day!

 

3) Go on a trip

 

4) Take a beautiful new profile pic – outside of your bathroom!

 

5) Keep posting pics of your life (which is still great, even without him!)

 

6) Put away or throw out the stuff he gave you 

7) Make an upbeat playlist

 

8) Hit the gym/exercise – walk or cycle to uni for an extra pick me up!

9) Talk to someone about it

 

10) Remind yourself you’re better off without him. But don’t overthink it. 

11) Cut down on contact (distance!)

 

12) Treat yourself to something nice

17) Laughter is the best medicine

22) Go shopping

 

23) Change your look

 

24) Make a journal full of photos and memories without him
