5 Ways Overthinking Can Be Beneficial

Overthinking is something we can all admit to, especially in times of high stress. There are some people who are constantly overthinking, which many believe to be negative. However, there are many benefits to overthinking you may not have expected.

1. You are prepared for anything.

You plan things to the minor details and are ready for any situation that may arise. Should anything go wrong, you know how to handle and diffuse the problem.

2. You are the best decision maker.

You weigh all the pros and cons and know every possible outcome of each decision, so your friends all come to you for advice.

3. You're great at time management.


You don't worry about forgetting deadlines or not having enough time to do all of your work and go out. Rather, you plan your time meticulously so you have enough time to do everything you need to. Plus, time to spare.

4. You're a great spender.

As a good decision maker, contemplating everything, you also rethink your purchases and don’t quickly make purchases. This means you never leave the store with things you don’t need.

5. You are the best friend.

You are the “mom” of the group, constantly protecting and taking care of your friends, and providing them with everything. Whether they are sick or upset, you are always worried about their well-being.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
