People are constantly preaching about how to move on and find new love. But here at College Times, we don't always think that's necessary. Here are twelve ways you are guaranteed to never get over your ex because after all, true love never dies....
1) Keep Everything Connecting You To Them
The text messages, the photos, the Snapchat screenshots - every single memory of your ex should be kept alive. Why not make them your wallpaper or your cover photo on Facebook? That's not creepy, that's called showing your love. Duh.
2) Whip Out The Sam Smith Album
Oh yes, nothing like a bit of "Lay Me Down" to get the tears flowing. In fact, any of his songs are worth listening to; they're all equally depressing and therefore, lovely.
3) Stalk Their Social Media

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube - if there's an account, it's worth following. Liking old pictures or statuses is a really thoughtful way of showing them you care and the further back you go, the better. Don't be put off if you can't access their accounts anymore. They haven't blocked your friends yet, have they?
4) Follow Them Around On Nights Out
Wherever they go, you go. Every nightclub, every bar. Follow their taxi home if you're feeling really ambitious and/or frisky.
5) Send Them Really Long Messages
Who doesn't enjoy waking up to a long text from someone that cares about them? The longer the better in my opinion, and don't hold back on the emotions. Exes love that shit.
6) Watch The Notebook On Repeat

On your own. With the big teddy they won you at the funfair last summer. With nothing but their t-shirt on...
7) Become BFFs With Their Friends
How else do you expect to keep up with their life if you're not getting updates from their nearest and dearest? A few mutual friends never did anyone any harm...
8) Remember Only The Good Times
Of course you guys had the perfect relationship, your ex obviously just hasn't realised that yet. Soon enough, the memories of your relationship will come flooding back to them and they'll wish they had never left you. So cling on to the good times, that's what everybody always does anyway.

9) Buy Their Perfume/ Aftershave
The smell of your ex more than likely sends you reeling, so why shouldn't you indulge in that sensation after they're gone?
10) Call Them, Maybe?
If the long messages aren't working and you're not getting a reply, it's time to move on......to calling them. If it keeps going to voicemail, leave them some sweet messages like "I'm thinking about you right now" or "You never leave my mind". Trust me, it'll work wonders.
11) Feel Sorry For Yourself
There's nothing like self-pity on a cold and lonely day to get the emotions running high. Why did this happen to you? You've done everything you can to make things better, haven't you? Whatever. Forget them. Your ex doesn't deserve you anyway. *Sobs*
12) Drink Yourself Into Oblivion
Yep, you heard me. You've failed. Now drink up.
