Sensitive People Problems

Dear All Of Mankind,

I feel like when a lot of people think about sensitivity, they think about people who get offended easily, and violently defend their passions as well as topics they strongly believe in. However, many of you reading this probably also know that there is a completely different side to sensitivity. Let me introduce you formally to the other side of sensitivity.


The sensitivity I'm talking about is the kind of sensitivity is the kind of sensitivity where you lay awake at night thinking about what you could have done better.

If you get reprimanded at work or at school, you constantly think about it for the rest of the day.

If your friends call you a name jokingly, but it still makes you feel bad about yourself, you will always think about how crappy it made you feel.

If you tell a lie, It honestly haunts you for a really long time.

If you don't meet your expectations, you literally feel so disappointed in yourself.

You also probably do not have many close relationships, because you are so sensitive, and you do not want to risk letting someone in, and getting hurt, so you end up pushing a lot of people away out of your own irrational fear.

So next time you meet someone who says they are sensitive, it may not be in the way you initially think. It may just be that this person, literally overthinks everything until the point of steam billows out of their ears. That can be a very heavy weight on someone and their well-being, so if you see someone or meet someone like that, reach out to them and say "HEY! IT'S NOT THAT DEEP!"


Sincerely,

A Fellow Sensitive Person

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. 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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
