The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is a personality inventory that categorizes everyone into 16 different personality types. Each personality is based off a 4 letter code with each letter meaning something different. For example, 4.4% of the U.S. population, including myself, are categorized as an INFP.

But what makes someone in INFP? Let's break it down a bit. Each person falls into 1 of the 2 options for each category.

Introversion vs. Extroversion

Intuition vs. Sensing

Thinking vs. Feeling

Judging vs. Perceiving

So, if you're an INFP you are more likely to be introverted, intuitive, feeling orientated, and more perceiving.

A few well-known INFP's are William Shakespeare, Alicia Keys, Tom Hiddleston.

It's no surprise that I fall into the INFP group and that I am more in tune with my creative side since INFPs tend to use their intuitive personality to look at everything from multiple perspectives. This allows us to take make subtopics and link them into one whole idea. IFNPs are also incredibly passionate about everything they do. If something ignites a spark in them then they take it and run.

While creativity and passion may seem like excellent traits and usually are, INFPs are also experts at taking their ideas and blowing them up past reasonable expectations. Often times that can lead to discouragement because INFPs have a tendency to dig in when it comes to projects and when they fail it can seem even more discouraging to them than other personalities types. Most things INFPs take personally and failure one of those.

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.
