Stop Overthinking

And JUST DO IT!

Stop Overthinking
http://www.2020bmv.com/

You send a text to someone you like and you don't get a response back for one day: what is your thought process during that time? Do you assume they might be busy, or do you just jump to conclusions and start thinking that they don’t care about you?

A lot of us would jump to conclusions and worry too much about what could, would or might happen. Stop overthinking! There is no way you can predict every single outcome, so stop overthinking and trying to control everything.You might get presented with an opportunity, but you’re so worried and caught up in thinking what could go wrong, by the time you make a decision the opportunities pass you by.


Taking action is the hardest step. You say you want to lose weight but what have you actually done to do it? You say you want to quit your job and start your own business but what have you done to do it?

Stop sitting around and making a list of things that you want to do and over thinking how to do it. Just take action, and do it.

One of the most important things to remember, is that you can't control everything. There is always going to be circumstances that are beyond your control, so face your fears and don't be afraid to fail. Failure is a necessary step to success!


One of the things you can ask yourself is what is the worst that can possibly happen? And you will see that the worst possible outcome is usually not as bad as the fake fears our mind creates to stop us from taking action.

The people you keep around you play a big part in your actions and the way you think. So it is very important to surround yourself with positive people, because no one cares what you could have done, what matters is what you did!

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.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
