Which Of These 7 Learning Styles Do You Use?

Have you ever sat in a class and had no idea what the teacher was talking about? You had paid attention, but no matter how much the teacher repeats the information, it still makes no sense in your head. Then someone else takes that same information and explains it completely different which somehow makes it totally understandable. Or maybe you just need a visual example of exactly what they were saying then it actually made sense. There are different types of learning and when taught in that way everything seems to click easily in your head.

These are the 7 types of learning styles that everyone uses.

  1. Visual (spatial):You prefer using pictures, images, and spatial understanding.
  2. Aural (auditory-musical): You prefer using sound and music.
  3. Verbal (linguistic): You prefer using words, both in speech and writing.
  4. Physical (kinesthetic): You prefer using your body, hands and sense of touch.
  5. Logical (mathematical): You prefer using logic, reasoning and systems.
  6. Social (interpersonal): You prefer to learn in groups or with other people.
  7. Solitary (intrapersonal): You prefer to work alone and use self-study.
But the thing to remember about these styles is that these are not exclusive to each other, there are combinations of styles and some that work better for different subjects. You may find it easier to study for a test by memorizing words to a song or visualizing the word in your head. Or it might be easier to grasp a concept when you are a part of a small study group. Maybe it's easier to remember vocab words saying them out loud in your room alone. Whatever the case, there is no wrong way to learn but there is a wrong way to teach. Teachers should be adaptable to every kind of learner and be able to work with each individual student to make sure they receive a well rounded education. Helping find their strengths.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
