Hoya Beats: Break-up Jams

We’ve all been through one- or at least the unlucky ones of us have: break-ups. And although we all dream of those flawless peaceful partings, you know the “we’ll always be great friends,” kind; the reality of it is, break ups are messy, annoying, and sometimes downright sad.  So here are some songs you can cry you heart out too while cozying up to a pint of Ben and Jerry’s and some more to help you finally get over it.

It’s time for the switch.  You’ve cried enough, consumed enough empty calories, and bored your friends to death dissecting every little word he’s ever said to you.  Now it’s time to empower yourself! He is not worth your time or your tears, so listen to these songs, and remember, you can only control you, so be the best you, you can be!
