She's scared of rejection, judgement, and mental abuse.

Why Does She Overthink Everything?
Google User Content

She overthinks. We all do. But her? She overthinks everything; the simplest things, too. She overthinks until she can't think any longer. But, why?

She overthinks every Instagram, picking at every flaw she sees when she looks at the post. She overthinks because she doesn't want her insecurities to be shown to her thousands of followers. She overthinks because she thinks the smallest details will be noticed by those she doesn't want to notice them.

She overthinks every tweet that she sees. Could it possibly be about her? Even if she hasn't spoken to this person in forever, are they referring to her Instagram?

She overthinks when a guy shows interest in her because she's been broken so many times before. She overthinks how they're actually feeling. Are they actually into her? Or do they just want to mentally abuse her like past guys have?

She overthinks because she doesn't want the one person who she wants to judge her. She overthinks what she posts on social media because she knows he'll see it. Will he judge her? Probably not. But, in the past, guys have.

She overthinks flirting because she doesn't want to scare them off. One thing she says could either drive them away or make them want to stay. But does she say it? No, because she overthinks the scenario.

She overthinks what she's wearing because she thinks she looks stupid. She thinks her outfit doesn't flatter her. She pinches her extra skin in the mirror because she thinks they'll notice it under her baggy sweatshirt. She overthinks what she's wearing because she's never comfortable.

She overthinks without intention. She doesn't mean to overthink, it just happens. She overthinks because she isn't sure she's happy with how she is. Is she too fat? Annoying? Is she overthinking to the point where she's pushing people away?

She overthinks situations because in the past, she didn't think at all. She went into situations with an open mind, open heart, just to get things tossed back into her face. She overthinks because she used to not think at all. Now, she's scared of rejection, mental abuse, and judgement. She just overthinks.

She craves the attention from you and tosses away any bits of advice her close friends and family gives her. She doesn't want to overthink, but she does. She has an open mind, an open heart, and open arms, but she overlaps the openness with overthinking. She's worth it, though. Even though she overthinks, she loves to no end. She'd do anything for anyone. Be the person who makes her drop her insecurities and makes her open her eyes to her true beauty. Help her stop overthinking. Save her.

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.
