What To Do When You Miss Your S.O.

BonnieBellez, we can't get over your first DO. ...We're DOing it now! —Sparkitors

Summertime is full of laughter, smiles, and days spent with friends. Summer flings are common and encouraged. But sometimes you have something deeper than a fling, and sometimes you are separated from your Someone. This post is for anyone who has an SO, potential SO, or just wants to know for future reference. Being separated from your boyfriend/girlfriend isn't always a terrible thing. Unless you live life like a Disney movie, time apart is good.

Like... 10 minutes.

But when you are apart for more than 10 minutes, you may start to get a little blue. Or... you may start weeping profusely and inhaling chocolate. Here's a list of DOs and DON'Ts to make sure you mourn correctly!

DO: Eat chocolate. A lot of chocolate. It's scientifically proven to help!

DON'T: Eat so much chocolate that you get a stomach ache, because the last thing you need is to actually feel bad on top of missing your SO.

DO: Watch adorable chick flicks that make you smile through your tears.

DON'T: Watch The Notebook. The water works for that one won't stop for days in your weakened state.

DO: Stalk your SO on Facebook to make sure that stupid flirty girl he met last week isn't still sending him winky faces.

DON'T: Actually stalk winky face girl and beat her up in a back alley.

DO: Remember the good times.

DON'T: Spend your entire day dreaming of the two minutes you saw her yesterday. You just wasted your entire day.

DO: Find a way to distract yourself. Find an art project (SparkLife is full of good articles with those!), read a book, go out with friends, clean your room, or do something else productive.

DON'T: Build a shrine to your SO. That could make her uncomfortable the next time she comes over...

DO: Wear your favorite sweats and make cookies or cupcakes or any other potential sugar-coma-inducing food.

DON'T: Not shower and eat only peeps for a week. Easter was not “just the other day,” but months ago. Throw the Peeps away already!

And finally...

DO: Text/call/send a carrier pigeon and tell him you miss him! No need to wallow uselessly if he can just come right over.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go get more chocolate and start another movie.

What do you do when you can't stop thinking about your SO?
