  • Personality test. Much more fun in story form with a live person telling you everything, but this works well too even though it gives you options rather than you just thinking out stuff in your head, though I'm not sure how reliable it is...

    Your view on yourself:

    Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.
    The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

    You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.
    Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

    You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
    The seriousness of your love:

    You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?
    Your views on education

    Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.
    The right job for you:

    You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.
    How do you view success:

    You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
    What are you most afraid of:

    You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.
    Who is your true self:

    You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

    Basically everything is pretty accurate except for the education and romance part...

  • Pick three original adjectives that you believe best describe who you are and explain why you select

    Amicable-I'm the type of person who enjoys a bit of good-natured fun, which includes some annoying, but when that "good-natured fun" turn into tension, the situation gets awkward and/or conflicted. I don't like when people are angry, so I've perfected the art of maintaining a situation's mood in a positive position, maybe pushing someone toward's the edge sometimes (for the fun of annoying them), but never actually tipping them over, and because I do such things, I make it up to them by dissing myself or something along those lines (or allow them to take a stab at me in return).
    Logical-After taking so many math classes, science classes, and English classes, I've drilled into my head the virtue of being logical in my arguments and and methodology.
    Diligent-I am the type of person who, once set on something, will not stop to finish the task. If I'm working on a project, I will work on it until it's completed. If I'm reading an enjoyable book, then I won't put it down until I'm done with it or it is 4 in the morning.

    Counselor brag packets are boring...and long...and tedious. I'll be glad when college applications are done and over with.

  • Is the art of letter writing dying? I grew up in the computer age when people use instant messaging, texts, and "status's" to tell other people about themselves. My generation would rather have conversations with each person contributing a few words to maybe a few sentences. We have lost the ability to convey our thoughts in more words, which has helped to degrade our writing. For example, my English teacher was talking about how some people used "u" and "ur" in their essays, and these are high schools SENIORS, not some fresh meat straight out of middle school (I've always used correct grammar and spelling to the best of my ability in my English classes). Even though I use correct mechanics for the English language, with all the instant messaging I've used for the past who knows how many years, I can't even write a full length meaningful email, much less sit down with pen and paper and compose a nice message to my friends.

    These past couple weeks I've been having actual phone conversations rather than a simple "hi, (insert random necessary info, usually about school or rides), bye!" This more personal relationship with people on the phone was an amazing difference from the relationship I have with people while instant messaging. Talking with people on the phone just made me realize what I've been missing out on by not being such a good conversationalist, and through this experience, I've realized how much I would enjoy writing long letters/emails to my friends. Although I need to practice writing more, I'm excited by this new field of writing that I shall try out.

    Side note:
    Would you rather get love notes in your locker from a secret admirer or get random nice gifts from a secret admirer?
