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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
