You can blast all the songs you loved and your ex hated.

You can eat any kind of junk food you want without feeling guilty.

The Best Parts of Breaking Up

You get to watch a marathon of that reality TV show (or all of the reality TV shows . . . ) that he couldn't stand.

You can have a really good cry.

You can go out looking for a rebound with your girlfriends.

You can get rid of his stuff and double the amount of storage space in your house!

You have an excuse to go shopping so that you can replace all the things that remind you of him (that you just got rid of).

You can get REALLY good at that one craft you've been meaning to master.

You can basically do (almost) anything you want to, and blame it on the breakup.
