Lov s such a bautful thn an campus

s no xcpton. its a fln that s -

s by both th youn an th ol pooan th ch, ston an wak. it was v-

n to us by go who ally pupos fo us to fall

an b n t.

if you clam nv to hav ha a tast of th famous

lavav thn pobably you a lyn. Th famousPoa Plac,itn,S kwa,Sp an t h nwly no-

vat mapn cons (konan as many may callt im su as a sult of th sn conomy),s not a

nw thn. A lot coul b ftch fom th sta an

an moon watchn. if youv lv n block ththn pobably you know what im talkn about.

But what about whn you wak to al vythns lost? i say all s not lost. You a not alon an

almost vyon ls has on thouh th sam at

on pont. Actually ts a sta n lf. Th followna som ways to al wth t.

1. Accept the end: They say acceptance is the rststp to haln. do not cln to th hop that a ma-

cl woul happn an thns woul o back to no-mal. if ths os not happn thn too ba fo you, th

pan wll b unbaabl.

2. Respect yourself: Nv blam youslf fo th

bakup an ont punsh youslf. go ma som-

on spcally fo you who s stuln hs/h wayjust to mt you. So spct youslf nouh to v

youslf anoth chanc to b happy an ont tak

xtm masus lk ownn you soows n al-cohol.

3. Pamper yourself for a while: Smply t out an

tat youslf. do somthn you lov. Buy youslf

nw staff, at wll, o swm, watch movs, socalan v youslf a ally oo tat. cnt all you

attnton an ny on you plasu fo awhl.

Wash away you hut by nuln youslf.

4. Connect with your family: rnw wonful

motonal bouns wth famly an clos fns.

You wll b sups how wonful famly lovs an you wll notc that th a wonful po-

pl who lov an blv n you an that th a

mo mpotant thns than hatbak.

5. Allow yourself to heal: dont thow youslf

to a nw latonshp smply bcaus you a hut.Ths may lan you n th won boat wth th

won popl han to a won stnaton ann th n you mht b mo hut. Stat a nw

latonshp only whn you can stan th pvous

on wthout pan.

6 .Forget revenge: Falln n an out of lov hap-

pns. it s sa but tuly t happns. Accpt ths factand move on. Revenge is a conrmation of pain

an ts you wth th past-nv lttn you ally

mov aha.

7. Take up a new hobby: You might nd that time

ls havy n you hans. To avo past panfulmmos, us ach mnut to njoy

8. Time is the best healer: Unstan that t taks

sa athe joknly that the ay man an woman wll be

equal s the ay a woman woul walk aoun town wth a pot

A man who s n a elatonshp can have numeous mpano

male. if a female happene to o the same then she ets a

in poltcs a woman who stans he oun an neve wa-

ves s scone by socety. She s hate by even he own kn

just because she jone a mans wol an fouht wth the

best of them. Socety ctates a woman to be entle an tm

but f you stay fom ths steeotype, you become an o utcast.

Yet men play ths ty ame we call poltcs an they ae

accepte fo what they ae.

When a woman clmbs the copoate lae an becomes the

best in her eld, its whispered that she slept her way to the top.

When a man oes the same hs ha wok s applaue. Statst-

cally the woman wll be pa less than a male colleaue n the

When a man takes a woman to be, one hes just met she auto-
