My ex and I have been broken up for several months. We don't talk at all and go to the same college. I don't see him daily, but we'll cross paths ocassionally and I do know his schedule. Some days I will change my route or come early/late just so he will see me and possibly say something. It's ridiculous that I still do this when the relationship has been over for awhile. I even ask myself "what are you doing?" while I'm waiting for him, but he still gives me those butterflies. How do I get over this? Time has not helped and my friends and family are way beyond tired of hearing about it.

You remember the good times, the sweet things, and all the romantic stuff. But fact of the matter is, there's more to a relationship than that and for some reason it didn't work out. You miss the good things and that's understandable, don't let yourself drown in those memories.
Try to make new friends, meet new guys, even if it's not to date and just as friends, get your mind onto new things. Maybe take up a hobby or something. Find a new interest to fulfill that urge for that warm, fuzzy feeling inside. In time, you'll learn to appreciate and love something or someone new. Also, whenever you get thinking about those good times with your ex, just start thinking about the sour times. Definitely do not lose focus of that.
It's a tough period to go through, but you'll pull through. We've all been through it.

Hopefully you have supportive friends who can walk you to class.
It's really really hard. He probably is still getting over you as well. Hang out and concentrate on things-always be busy. Either on projects or even exercising.
