My Personality Type

My personality type was encourager. As i was taking this quiz, i was a bit apprehensive, but when i finished and it emailed me the results, i was really surprised. The quiz was almost exact to my personality. As i kept reading, it continued to describe my personality. It said that i am a good listener and the i am a people person, that i cooperate well with others. I think this was a fun quiz to talk and would encourage people to go to this website and take it.

How to pick a college

I recently read an article that gave some helpful information on how to pick a college. The first thing they said was to follow the acronym REACH: Region, Estimated costs, Academics, Campus life and Housing. This acronym helps me to prioritize what to look for when looking for colleges. I will deffinatly take this article into concideration when looking for colleges.
The article first talked about the region that your college is in. I really liked how it mentioned that you should concider your free time when you look for colleges so that you can prioritize your time on the weekends. I aslo liked how it mentioned that when you visit a college you should try and imagin yourself there, and that it will help in your decision making.
