"Hey girls!  So, since coming on break I have found that a lot of my friends and I are dealing with the winter boy blues. For some it&amp;#039;s missing a boy they met back at school. For others it&amp;#039;s seeing a summer fling again and trying to figure out where they stand. And for others it is seeing their boyfriend from high school and dealing with the lingering feelings. Regardless of the specifics, all of these situations have left my friends and I fairly blue. It just seems like none of us can get these boys off are minds. It sucks because Christmas break is only a month long, and the last thing any of us want to do is spend it sad. So, if any of you girls are going through this on your break, we&amp;#039;ve come up with some tips for how you can avoid the winter boy blues and get back to having a fun break!  Step 1: Cry. If you&amp;#039;re constantly trying to fight off tears it gets a lot harder to move on or have fun. So if you&amp;#039;re situation makes you want to cry, just let it out. Letting it out will help you to get it out all at once and make it easier to focus on other things afterwards. Step 2: Hang with your girl friends. When you&amp;#039;re alone you tend to focus on the sadness that you&amp;#039;re feeling. But when you hang with friends you can keep yourself occupied and distracted so you won&amp;#039;t be thinking about the guy. Plus no one knows how to have fun better than your friends! You can do something active like going sledding or have a night in! My friend and I spent a night making colorful cupcakes and watching Sex and the City 2. Fashion, friends, and food - is there a better combo?  Step 3: Focus on you. It is your break, not his! Focus on stuff you want to get accomplished, like reading that book you keep meaning to get to, applying for a job, or hitting the gym. If you&amp;#039;re angry at a guy, nothing helps calm you down quite like punching a bag. Listen to girl power anthems and get your nails done. When you stay busy you won&amp;#039;t be thinking about him. Plus all of that is just helping you! Nothing wrong with that! Honestly, it&amp;#039;s hard to just shake off a guy. But when you&amp;#039;re on break you should be having fun, not moping about some dude! So if you or any of your friends are having a case of the winter boy blues try these tips... and get back to having a fun break! If you&amp;#039;re feeling down in the dumps over a guy, what do you do to cheer up? Tell me about it in the comments! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
