An Open Letter To The Overthinker
Dark Sunsets

Dear Over-thinker, Worrier, and Stressor,

Take a deep breath, first off. I know it feels like you're drowning, but I promise you're not. Look around you--there's no water or substance to truly drown you. Everything you are doing right now will be worth it in the end, so don't give up like I know you're dying to do. Remind yourself sometimes that you DO actually matter, and you're meant for great things. A lot of times we think we are always in the wrong, or that we aren't ever doing enough. But there's the catch, you're not always wrong. Nobody is always wrong, and as long as you are trying that's what counts. People who you can truly call a friend are supporting you, not everyone is out to get you. You are very much so loved, and have plenty of support out there available, you just have to look in the right places. And lastly, you are not alone. There are so many others out there like you and me who feel that we over-think until we can't think anymore. But, life is a journey that can be full of uphill and downhill battles. It's only a bad day, not a bad life.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
