CRUSHES

Sometimes all you can think about is a certain cutie and it's the greatest thing ever. But other times it's like, dude, get out of my head! How's a girl supposed to just stop thinking about an ex or a crush who doesn't feel the same way? Well, it can be tough, but GL is here to say yes, we totes believe you can banish that boy from your brain. Ready to be so over it? Let's get started.

Go on a run, crank up your fave jams and dance, or follow a yoga tutorial video. A little exercise can go a long way to making you feel a whole lot better. Get your blood flowing and re-energize with some bod-loving workouts. After all, isn't the key to a healthy heart... exercise?

Ask your friends, check in with your school librarian, or hit up the GL Book Club for book recommendations. Delve into an awesome novel that distracts you with adventures, mysteries and romances from other realms. If you love what you're reading, encourage your friends to read it too so you have book buds.

Get creative and find a DIY activity to complete. Let your inner artist shine and make something you're proud of. The satisfaction of completing a project, even a small one, is an instant mood-booster. Do something you love to do, whether it's painting, practicing your future architecture skills, baking or trying out a new mani.

Go on a hike, organize a movie night, hit up the bowling lanes, or meet at a coffee shop with a group of guys and girls who make you smile. Don't let the one boy bummin' you out make you forget about all the fab friends you have. Start texting everyone, hangout sesh tonight!

To avoid hearing songs on the radio that remind you of you-know-who (and we're not talkin' about Voldemort), create your own, selective playlist. Choose tunes that you associate with fun times and not with Mr. Ex. Include that song you sang at the top of your lungs at your bestie's sleepover last weekend or the song your Dad plays when he's making his famous brownies.

All sorts of hotties live in TV-land. Enjoy episodes of the best dramas and comedies that are chalk-full of eye candy. Take your mind off your real world for a few minutes and say hello to your celeb, television crushes.
