8 Signs You're Overly Emotional
PsychCentral

Emotions are something that everyone has whether they care to admit it or not. There are people who put on a brave face but are emotional behind closed doors, and there are people that show emotion 24/7 no matter where they are or who they are with, and they can't just turn it off whenever they feel like it. An extremely emotional individual feels everything, all at once, at full force. There are several aspects that are unique about an openly emotional person, if you are one then you definitely can relate to these.

1. You feel what your loved ones feel, and it sometimes drains you.

You find yourself being upset when those that are close to you are upset, you then take on their emotions and it feels rather draining every now and then.

2. You cry when you are sad, mad, and even happy.

This is the most frustrating thing to you because crying is generally a sign of sadness for most people, and you cry at every emotion so it is often confusing if there are others around you.

3. You care about people you don't even know that well.

You can get individuals to open up to you about things they usually wouldn't open up about within an hour or less of meeting them.

4. You find yourself overthinking way too often.

You know that most of the time there is always something bigger going on, and that causes you to over analyze everything.

5. Your intuition is way too accurate.

You might as well call yourself psychic because you predict way too many things that happen.

6. You are great at reading people and what they are feeling.

You pay attention to body language instead of just paying attention to what they are telling you.

7. People come to you for advice more often than others.

Your friend group and even people you aren't that close with anymore come to you for advice because you are a great listener and give honest feedback.

8. You need your alone time.

Being emotional is draining, and sometimes you just need some time to yourself to relax and get away from other people and what they are feeling in order to focus more on what you are feeling.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
