Got dumped? Listen up

If you’ve spent the past week crying over “Dawson’s Creek” reruns while swaddled in dirty blankets and empty cartons of Ben & Jerry’s, you might be the victim of the common phenomenon known as the “turkey drop.”

“Breaking up is hard to do,” Neil Sedaka said, but at this time of the year, you’re certainly not alone. According to the Atlantic, Thanksgiving break is one of the most popular times of the year for college students to break up. Most often, freshmen who have been keeping up long-distance relationships since the semester began have finally started to cut the cord with their high school sweethearts.  

But freshmen aren’t the only ones who endure this unfortunate truth. Thanksgiving is also considered a convenient time to dump someone because it’s before the holiday season when it’s viewed as just downright mean to break up with a significant other.

So, if this sounds like you, and you’re “so sick of love songs” on the radio, put down the box of tissues and turn up the volume.

This playlist will get you back on your and feet and on the dance floor in no time. Just remember to change out of your groutfit, first.
