6 sentences for 6 words!
Last time, I followed Italki's suggestion about writing 6 sentences using brand-new words. I've really loved this idea, so that I've decided to keep going :)
1) TO WANT TO HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT --> Nowadays I don't know if teenagers know what sacrifice is: they want to have their cake and eat it!
2) UNDER CONFIDENT --> Shy people are usually under confident!
3) OVERWHELMING --> Watching Northern Lights is overwhelming!
4) TO SOAK UP --> When I find, through my journey, people which are really ispiring, I love soaking up everything they say
5) IN NO TIME --> Without any traffic jams, I can arrive in the city centre in no time
6) RIGHT MANNER --> Not everybody behaves in the right manner

Ciao Olga. Quite good.
I've heard of over confident, but not under. It's more common to say lack confidence.
Overwhelmed tends to have a negative feel - something is too much and you can't cope.
Please don't worry, as expressions are probably the hardest part of becoming advanced in a language, in part because they don't translate very well. Reading a lot is best, to see how they are used.
Keep practicing! Simón.
