If you have an ESFJ personality type, you know some of the struggles of our daily lives all too well. You are outgoing, loyal, and sometimes overly aware of other people's emotions. You like to help others, and sometimes neglect your own needs to be able to help those around you. You live for human social interactions and sometimes you worry about the small things too much and forget to focus on the present. You are the counselors of your friend group.

1. You love parties.

You live for your nights out, spending time with friends, and letting loose.

2. You have to stay organized.

Every aspect of your life is planned. Your home is clean and organized. You stress about being late to work, parties, etc. You make lists for everything.

3. You take charge on group projects.

You work well in teams, but needing to be organized makes you a great leader on group projects in school and/or at work.

4. You are in tune with other people's emotions sometimes more so than your own.

You notice when your friend gives a weird glance and know what to say when they are going through a heartbreak. You neglect your own feelings to make sure your friends are ok.

5. You worry about hurting other people's emotions, even if it means sacrificing your own well being.

You worry you might say the wrong thing and upset your friend or S.O. even when it means your own feelings get pushed to the back.

6. You make friends easily.

You are an extrovert. You like talking to people and can find common ground with almost anyone.

7. You're the counselor of your friend group.

You are the person your friends come to for advice. You will always pick up your phone if someone calls and will be willing to drop anything to go to their aid.

8. You can talk to new people easily.

Another perk of being an ESFJ, you are good at speaking in front of strangers, you don't get nervous for job interviews or speaking in front of a group.

9. You take your work really seriously.

You need to feel successful and give 100% into anything you try. You have picked a career that means something to you and you aren't going to let anything get in your way.

10. Once you focus on something, it's hard for you to let go of it.

You perseverate on a comment made by a friend, a boss, a co-worker. You don't like disappointing others. You also have to complete your tasks before you start a new one and deviating from that schedule is a non-starter.

11. Being successful is important to you.

You want to make those around you proud and you work hard every day to ensure you are successful at whatever you choose.

12. You remember the little details.

You remember the little quirks about people you meet. You notice the little things people say. This makes you one great gift giver. You remember every little detail of everything you see.

13. You have a life plan.

You have a daily plan, a 5-year plan, and a 10-year plan. It's very hard for you to adapt to change.

14. You never get tired of being around people. Being alone is not fun for you.

You live for human interaction. Being alone makes you think about things in your life and worry too much about things years down the line. You love your friends and enjoy their company.

15. You need positive reinforcement.

You never want to let others down, so having their approval is important for you to feel successful.

16. You have to seriously plan every detail in your life to relax.

This goes along with being overly organized. You have a hard time deviating from the plan and just flying by the seat of your pants. You need to know what you're doing with your friends and have a plan for the day.

17. You are seen as easy-going and bubbly.

Even though you never let your perfectionist traits out of its cage, you are seen as super easy going and bubbly.

18. You are Monica Geller.

You relate to Monica Geller from Friends on a spiritual level.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

"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.
