COLLEGE BLOG: How College Students Can Survive a Breakup (When You’re Still in Class Together)

Breakups in College Are Complicated — Here’s How to Survive Them

College breakups are uniquely stressful because:

• You might still see them on campus

• You might share friend groups

• You may have classes, clubs, or dorm buildings in common

• Your support system (parents) may be far away

✨ Create emotional space — even if you see them on campus

✨ Lean on friends who are level-headed, not chaos-fueled

✨ Do NOT bottle it up — college can feel isolating

✨ Revisit routines that anchor you: studying, gym, groups

✨ Use campus mental health support if needed

• Unfollow or mute if watching hurts

• Set limits on late-night checking

• Avoid “accidental” streaks or likes

You’re allowed to:

✔ grieve

✔ rest

✔ disconnect

✔ rebuild

✔ feel sad and hopeful at the same time

How can I care for my academic, emotional, and social self this month while I heal?

This breakup isn’t a failure — it’s a chapter. Keep going.
