Seriously, I'm 24- and I've never successfully been able to get over a guy without finding someone new or just moving away. Is there a better way, or do I just need to wait it out and let time do its thing?

This is easy if you can accept the things you cannot change - only then will you be able to move on.
Replacing one boyfriend with another is not giving you a chance to come to terms with what you have lost - you are merely filling a void.
I would suggest some time out, there is a natural grieving process that should be observed at the end of a relationship, it can seem as heartbreaking as a death (but in effect it is - the death of the relationship) and it should be treated as such.
If you don't allow yourself any time to grieve the loss of the relationship you are more likely to stumble into a new relationship carrying the baggage over from the old one.
Give yourself some time and have a break. Devote your time to you and what you need to get through it, spend time with friends, explore new things, get a new hobby and a new prospective. By replacing one relationship with another you are merely telling yourself that you cannot be alone and that you need to be a part of a couple in order to mean anything.
It's all about being comfortable in your own skin and realising that a relationship doesn't define who you are - YOU do.
Good luck!

Honey, you never ever will fully get over a guy that you loved. But what can happen is you can make their memory so small that you seldom think of it. This is what I had to do, remove everything that reminded me of my ex from where it was visible, and put it in a box and stash it at the back of my closet. Delete his accounts from my phone, email, etc. And find friends who werent associated with him, or at least didnt bring him up. And last, and this was an extreme measure, I had to find a new job.

Find a new boy. Or go out clubbing. Thats the best remedy. Oh and think of all the horrible things he did and the annoying things this usually turns you against him and you get over him quicker.

Breaking up is very difficult for both the person doing it as well as the person getting dumped.
Always remember that you saw something special in that person when you first got together.
Regardless of what happened to cause the break up, they are still the same person you met and have a right to their dignity...

Cut off all cords with the man.
And go on a ROAD TRIP with the girls..
One blastin' weekend and lots of beer will probably find you a cute new guy and let you rethink your future prospects!
