I'm a Sensitive Person and I'm Proud

Never apologize for being who you are.

I'm a Sensitive Person and I'm Proud
Elephant Journal

Whether this is a romantic movie, seeing a dog, or my feelings being hurt, I catch myself crying over the smallest things ever all the time. I'm not ashamed that I am overly sensitive. It just means that I am a normal human being. I can't control my emotions with a remote and just mute or pause them when I want or need to. Sometimes, you just need to cry it out to feel better about the situation.

I choose to express how I feel in a different way than the average person. If I see or hear something that upsets me, I tend to cry or become upset quickly. I've been this way my whole life. This means I am more empathetic towards others when they are down in the dumps. I understand what it's like to find yourself sad about the littlest things. This is why I'm always careful around anyone close or new to me. Having strong emotions can be hard to handle at times, but having a support system is always a good thing. I am compassionate towards anyone who is feeling hurt no matter who they are. I am always there to talk or be a shoulder to cry on. In the end, I usually cry with them, but then we both feel one hundred percent again.

Since I'm so sensitive, I can detect the slightest change in the way someone acts or talks. I can pick up on a person's nonverbal communication better than the average person. This isn't the best thing to have when it comes to the people close to you. I always ask my friends how they are doing because I know what it's like being too emotional. I may seem annoying when I ask how a person is doing because I understand people's feelings and thoughts can change quickly. I always look back at the small signs of someone after they left my life by breaking up with me or when we stopped being friends. I saw how they would act different or talk and text me in a strange way.

I have the biggest heart, which means when I care about you, I show this by being understanding and showing my true feelings. It's true I have my heart on my sleeve, but this is a good thing in my opinion. It means I'm not afraid to show how I feel. If I get upset or offended I will be honest and tell you that hurt my feelings. I am in touch with my feelings and understand what I'm feeling all of the time. At times, I bottle up my emotions and then explode like a cannon. The best thing to do is to talk through what you are feeling so you don't blow up on people. This can ruin relationships and friendships with anyone.

I just like everyone else in the world, need my personal space and alone time. I need a moment to clear my head and think about what is going on in my life at the moment or the future. At night, I walk through my whole day and think about how I can make it better. It's a reset my brain needs otherwise I would be overloaded with emotions all day and night. Being alone lets me cry when I've had a stressful day and lets me release all of the stress I've been feeling. Believe it or not, I feel way better after I cry.

The next time you ever get told you are highly sensitive or an emotional person, take that as a compliment and don't let it bring you down. Be proud that you can get in touch with your inner self. Not everyone has this special trait that we have. I am proud that I am a sensitive person and wouldn't change a thing about it.

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.
