1. Introverted does not mean that we do not hang out with people.

Introverted means that we will become exhausted from being around people for too long. We like quiet time and we need that to recharge. This time may be spent with tea and a book or just loud music and a hot shower. Whatever it is, give us the time we need and we'll give you all the love we have.

2. If we don't seem friendly, it may mean we just don't know you yet.

People can often mistake our uncertainty as icy. We seriously aren't evil. We just don't know you. It's nothing against you, honestly, we probably are overthinking our every move in our head and worrying that YOU don't like US.

3. Our friends think we never shut up.

Once you know an ISFJ, all the walls are down. We will be loud and silly and crazy. Just like everyone else. We like to talk and we like to have conversations. We like the idea of being able to understand others and to have them understand us. It just takes time.

4. We are loyal to the death.

Hang in there, because once you've made friends with an ISFJ, we are fiercely loyal. You need backup? We got you. Need something to get done by a certain time? Call on us. We got you!

5. We are people pleasers.

We do not half-crap anything. We genuinely want to be liked and part of that is wondering if people are pleased with us. That being said, we take on too much. No is not a common word in our vocabulary, so remember that. Call on us, but know that we may have more going on than we'd openly admit.

6. We like organization.

A key part of the ISFJ mentality is the need to have it all together. That means our room needs to feel organized (to us). Moving our things around can be very upsetting, especially if you didn't ask us first. We need that organization to do all that we do.

7. We need to know what's going on pretty much all the time.

ISFJs do not like to be in the dark about anything. If we have plans, ISFJs like to know where all we plan on going and doing. If that plan varies while it's happening that's okay. But leaping in with no ground work can cause some real anxiety for us.

8. We are deeply sensitive.

Our feelings can get hurt pretty easily and by nothing. And honestly, we probably won't tell you when we are hurt. We are passive aggressive and pretend that nothing is wrong. Sorry, not sorry.

9. It is likely that we go from 0 to 100 quickly.

If anything messes up our plans or if we are stressed, it doesn't take much to make us boil. Lost keys, ruined things, failed homework. These are things we do not accept.

10.

We may vary from everything you think you know about us.

As with every personality type, these are just standard predictions. Some days I might act like this, other days I may be completely different. Just remember, handle ISFJs with love and they'll be just fine!

P.S. Kate Middleton is one of us, soooo we're pretty cool.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
