Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert broke our hearts in July when they announced they were ending their marriage, and just hours later their divorce had been finalized.Now, the Voice coach is speaking out about their split, telling the Bobby Bones Show why they revealed the news of their break-up like they did and whether they're still close. "In Oklahoma, it happens so fast," he said on the show Wednesday. "Like, Miranda and I didn't have any kids, and we had a prenuptial agreement, whatever we had. Once we filed for divorce, it was over in, like, I think it was like a nine or 10-day waiting period until it's over."
"We knew if rumblings and rumors started coming out, they would just be that," Blake continued. "By the time anybody knew anything, it was over, it was done."In spite of their break-up, they were surprisingly chummy on social media afterwards, even joking with each other on Twitter days after they announced it. "Our whole thing was, we are going to be cool about this, it is what it is. We're buddies," he added.
So many times, we see celebrities break up and issue a statement saying their split was "amicable," and it's not always necessarily the case. So, we're glad to see that Blake and Miranda are still cool even though they called it quits. Hopefully, that has made the end of their marriage a little easier for them to digest.
It certainly is helping us deal with it.
Oh no, Niall!
High school sophomore Olivia Hallisey is kinda amazing.
Engagement rumors surrounding 
All right, we were jealous of 
I turned 20 last weekend, and for a minute, I felt so excited that I was a year older, still alive, healthy, or according to my friends, that I beat teen pregnancy (wooo)! Then the next day, I thought to myself, Wait a minute, I'm still livin' that struggle life. Here I am thinking turning 20 would allow me to leave my bag of struggles behind. NOPE. I'm still facing the old ones from 19 and new ones I'm coming across each day as a 20-year-old. See if you can relate!
Remember a few weeks back, when that pic of 
High school students being told not to strive for straight As? I can agree with that to an extent, but there are students who strive to get those grades to obtain scholarships to their dream schools. I agree with the statement to the extent of not making the students drown themselves in work and become stressed, which can backfire and lead to bad grades.
When it comes down to college graduation and looking for your first job to start paying off your student loans, there is not a doubt in my mind that a company would hire the Ivy League student compared to the community college/public university student. It is extremely unfortunate that I believe this would be the case, but I think many people would agree with me. It is almost as if when the students are being interviewed, the school they attended is the first and only thing they see. The Harvard student could have barely graduated, but that is not shown on a resume, whereas the public university student could be at the top of her class and have that listed on her resume, but it is overlooked because of the college she attended.
At the age of 17, a junior in high school, I would always wonder why I had irregular periods. I was too afraid to tell my mom because I felt like I was too young to go to the gynecologist. The thought terrified me. I kept it quiet for a few months until I had a rupturing ovarian cyst, which led me to go to the hospital.
What is that? Yeah, that was the first question I wanted to know also, besides why I was in so much pain. Endometriosis is a condition where tissue that is usually found inside of the uterus grows outside of the uterus and can spread to surrounding organs. Normally the inside tissue sheds you get your period, and while I would still get my period, there was still tissue that would grow outside of my uterus and even my bladder.
Now at 23, I've had five excellent years of being on the same birth control with no issues until late January 2015. I was excited because I just got my acceptance to college and was working full time. In the beginning of February, I started to feel changes that I had not felt in a long time, which led me right back to my doctor. My gynecologist didn't want to suggest surgery right away being that I have had a good five years without any problems, so we tried another form of birth control. But mere weeks passed before the pain was so intense that I couldn't work.
I am here again, 
Just being freshly being back from a vacation, it's only appropriate that I write about traveling. I know you're dying to know where I went. I was recently away for a destination wedding in Nova Scotia - that's Canada, not a separate country like some think. Yes, I was one of those people for a while.
I can't even begin to tell you for how long I've wanted to go to California. In high school, I was so hung up on traveling across the country to visit and experience this state, I would constantly nag my mom to book us a trip. Maybe my reasoning was to just spend my time stalking out celebrities. Hey, I would be very content with that! I even wanted to celebrate my Sweet 16 by going on vacation to California, instead of a party. That unfortunately didn't happen, but I was lucky enough to finally visit California my sophomore year of college for a journalism convention.
Speaking of Caribbean islands, it's only right that I write about my favorite one. The Bahamas is an island I've been to numerous times, and I don't get sick of it. Yes, there are so many islands out there, and some may ask, "Don't all those islands look the same after awhile?" I agree, but the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas will always have special place in my heart.
I know, this one you didn't see coming. Kind of random? I agree. However, Portland has to be one of the most beautiful, scenic places I've ever been to in the United States. Being at the very tip of the East Coast, Portland is considered a peninsula (surrounded by three bodies of water, didn't you pay attention to geography in middle school?), so almost everywhere you go, there will be beautiful deep blue bodies of water. Sailboats, lighthouses and quaint, adorable houses fill this quiet town in Maine. Hello, we cannot forget about the lobster! Lobster in Maine is so reputable because of the salty seawater that gives it flavor and how fresh they are. The lobster you're enjoying at dinner in Maine was caught earlier that day, guaranteed. Like my added sailboats courtesy of Snapchat in the picture?
Now getting into my travel bucket list, Capri, Italy has to be at the top. I am of Italian descent, so that's an obvious reason why I want to visit Italy. However, there are so many gorgeous regions, all different from one another, I just want to experience them all. I've been to Rome and Tuscany and while there, we didn't have enough time to pay a visit to Capri, so I promised myself I would have to come back someday soon to get my fix. Not only was my idol, Giuliana Rancic married on the island, Google Image this region in Italy and the picture will speak a thousand words. Capri is an island off the gulf of Naples, famed for its upscale living. Gorgeous beaches with crystal clear water, rugged landscape and high end shopping, need I say more?
Mykonos is another place I am so eager to visit; I nag my family all the time to look into a trip here. Not only from seeing Greece portrayed in movies or television, but hearing experiences from friends who have visited here, make me want to jump on a flight tomorrow. Mykonos is considered one of the most glamorous and popular Greek islands, home to many celebs travel destinations. A glamorous island filled with white stucco houses and breathtaking scenery, come on, that's right up my alley. I'll keep you posted for when I finally book a trip here!
