First off, cut all contact with that particular person. Cold turkey. Throw everything that reminds you of that person. Second of all, start to invest your time in projects, hobbies, work, whatever that may be. Keep your mind occupied. Pamper yourself. Third of all, give yourself time in order for you to heal. This is the most important step.

Accept your feelings for what they are. Accept that it hurts, but try to remember that pain is temporary. Remember to breathe, then put one foot forward.

Find their flaws, and write yourself inspirational things people have you love had said to you. Watch videos of you being a kid - remember there's been more to your life than this one person!

If you have a very good reason to be with that person, tell them how you feel. However, if it hurts to be with them, move on. And by moving on, love yourself completely. And then maybe you will find yourself in a hearty relationship.

Slowly distance yourself from them. Unfollow them on social media, and delete their number. This doesn't have to be all at once, but once the distance is far enough apart, your feelings may change towards that person.

Time. Taking the time to really reflect and move on is the best answer I can think of. Some can't reflect easily, though. In that case, I would suggest to do random things to get your mind off of it. Things such as, spending time with family and friends, exercising, learn something new (language, musical instrument, recipe to cook, etc etc), and so many other healthy/safe/enjoyable things to do.

If the other person is not responding, then keep in mind that this one sided love will never bring you happiness. Aim for your goal. There is a tough competition out there, and you started your journey to make your dreams come true. Those dreams will make you move on.
