Over-thinking is poison and what-if's can literally start to run your life. Now we all over-think some aspects of our lives, whether it be regrets, self-worth, or certain decisions and they tend to consume us. There are many struggles that come with being an over-thinker, like struggling to find meaning in everything on a daily basis. Or trying to sleep. There is nothing to distract our racing minds when laying in the dark silence with no distractions. But the absolute worst thing about being an over-thinker is dating. Here are a few things to know about dating a girl who is an over-thinker.

1. Situations will be replayed.

Everything you say and do will be played in her head over and over again, especially if it's something that hurt her feelings. The things you say will be what keeps her up at night replaying the conversation in her head.

2. She needs clarification.

If she is someone you have been dealing with for a while but the two of you don't have a title she will find herself questioning what the two of you are. She has probably asked once or twice if she is just sex to you because in her head that's all she thinks she is. You have to let her know that she is way more to you than what is between her legs. If in fact, all she is is sex to you, then be up front and honest with her.

3. We need you to say what you mean and mean what you say.

Don't lie and don't beat around the bush. To keep her from overthinking tell her what's on your mind, how you feel and especially how you feel about her.

4. Her brain will never rest.

She will constantly over analyze everything when it comes to her beau. She notices the way you look at her, your behavior and attitude towards her. If there is something on your mind she will notice, if you're acting different she will know and if you touch her slightly different than you usually do she will notice and most likely think she has done something wrong.

5. We won't tell you exactly how we feel.

We overthink so we tend to not share our feelings because we think you aren't interested or don't care how we feel.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
