Why Does She Overthink Everything?

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

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
