All About the Enneagram Assessment

The Enneagram assessment is a personality test which claims to have categorized everyone into nine numbers. Each number is paired with a key descriptive characteristic, although percentages of all nine numbers complete your personality.

Free Enneagram assessments are available online, and they're designed to understand your fears, motivations, and inner feelings. Those who have taken the test now identify as their number, and it has become a quick fad. Books, blogs, merchandise, and numerous social media accounts have been created in dedication to the Enneagram. There are even Enneagram experts!

One unique development that has taken form from this phenomenon, is an album with songs dedicated to each one of the Enneagram types. The musical artist, Sleeping At Last, has tailored melodic tracks specific to the qualities of each number. This project has taken him nearly two years, due to the amount of time it takes to make each song. His goal in completing his album, Atlas, is to have created a song that resonates with each type. The lyrics for your designated song should conjure up deep feelings, ultimately touching a part of your soul.

I will warn you though, when taking the assessment be truly honest to how you feel inside. Pay no attention as to how you think others perceive you, because if you're not honest with yourself you can be mistyped. It's also important to note that the Enneagram has spiritual aspects. Many of the books give advice on how to work on your relationship with God depending on your type, even providing helpful advice on how to interact or understand your spouse of a different number. The topics discussed are deep and revealing.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
