Here's What Being an Over-Thinker Says About You
DIY Magazine

Over-thinking, more like "I'm so over thinking about this" is something that many struggle with. Most of my friends are over-thinkers...I mean, that explains why they are my friends. Our situations and emotions can be easily explained to each other and better yet, easily understood by each other.

However, over-thinking can be a sign that you're just a thoughtful person regarding others, situations, and most importantly YOURSELF.

A lot of people who overthink are full of high expectations and patience. Overthinking leads people to put more thought into anything they do –– even the simplest of tasks.

If you're an over-thinker, it's about time to be aware that you're multi-passionate and always multi-tasking! You've over-thought about the things you've already tried and are now ready to try something new and later get tired of overthinking about that. Phew! Over-thinking definitely is time consuming and frustrating but no matter what, you always unconsciously spare time for thinking and stressing.

You're always willing to try new things. Of course, only after you've over-thought about the consequences or just the fact of trying something new.

Yes, being an over-thinker does essentially make you a thoughtful person quite literally however, it is also because you are thoughtful about others around you and what your decisions can do to certain situations or people. You want to make sure that everything you're doing is going according to the plan you've created in your mind. Being an over-thinker is also usually a trait of those who are overly sensitive or soft-hearted.

When one is lost in thought, they are likely to stumble upon realistic questions and situations. That's when one has the choice to prepare for a situation beforehand or "just in case." I overthink about society itself and have to admit that although I easily get frustrated by my consistent over-thinking, I have become more socially-aware and prepared for almost any situation. No questions, I've over-thought about my preparedness too--so I'm ready!

The best think about being an over-thinker is that (in certain situations i.e. ending a friendship or relationship) you have NO REGRETS! You've tried your best and have over-thought about the other person, their decisions, your decisions, and etc. You have created several physical and mental diagrams to come up with the best solution and thus are left much more relaxed and calm than the non-over-thinkers.

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.
